Janet hung up the phone, her face white. Dave, the manager of Babies R Us asked her what was wrong. “The caller wanted to know what side dishes the babies came with and if we delivered.”

Jenny looked in the mirror after putting on the Sexy Donald Trump costume. As she watched, the hair piece inched down and then she felt the suckers attach to her forehead.

Marvin smiled as he listened to the long electrical ZZZZZZZZZ of another pest biting the dust. It really was an inspiration to hook a dozen car batteries up to the doorbell for Halloween.

Jesse started the stopwatch as soon as the divers feet went under the water. He watched as the water of the pool started churning, turning slightly pink. He the clicked the stopwatch again when the water stopped churning. Well, he was right; pirahnas took less time to strip a person to the bone than a cow.

Barney dropped the candle and watched the flames flicker in the carved out eyes. He would win the Halloween decorating contest this year for sure; who else was making jack-o-lanterns out of real men named Jack?

She knelt by her husband’s body, crying, staring at his decapitated head several feet away, and wondered just what kind of monster could do something like this. Then she pulled the wooden stake from his heart and went to find the slayer who had done this.

Jerry always wondered what would go through his head right before he died. Human teeth was not one of the things he’d thought of.
