Spooky Halloween Story

frankOnce upon a time there was a young boy named Jake who lived in a haunted village. 364 days of the year it was like any other town, but every Halloween it would turn suspicious. The mayor, Mayor Franklin, banned everyone from trick-or-treating or any other Halloween activities. Families would be locked in their homes from sunset to sunrise. No one questioned it because they believed it was for their safety, but Jake knew better. For the whole year Jake had planned an escape route to get out on Halloween night. He built a secret doorway in his closet that led into the backyard. From there he would take his bike to figure out what was going on. His mother didn’t know and Jake did not plan to tell her. When Halloween came around, Jake escaped through his hidden door and headed to the town center. When he arrived there seemed to be nobody there, but he felt as if he was being watched. He turned around and there standing in front of him was Mayor Franklin, but it did not look like Mayor Franklin. He was green and huge with bolts and stitches all over. Suddenly it clicked, Mayor Franklin was Mayor Frankenstein! Jake stood there in shock as other ghosts and ghouls drifted behind Frankenstein. The monsters all at once rushed towards Jake! He hopped on his bike and sped home, through his door, and locked it tight. Never again would Jake dare to go out on Halloween night. The picture above was one of the original movie posters from 1931.

  1. Hi Ella,
    I feel your story had a vague mystery at the beginning,but I am pretty sure you meant Frankenstein’s monster since Frankenstein was the scientist.
