The Riding Hoods rustled up some asanbosam—closest thing to real-life vampires you’ll ever see. Picture a bare-ass monkey with huge claws and bigger teeth. They turned them loose on an entire village. Killed everyone—men, women, kids. Even the pets. Drained fucking dry.”

"Your... family's ancient status grants you the highest honor here." But when he looked at Sarah and Mark, his eyes filled with contempt. "As for you greedy mortals... Hmph."

[System Broadcast: Current Survivors: 5] Another seven people had died. He let out a dry, rattling laugh. "Some people," he said, his voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper, "are bigger monsters than any of us ghosts."

The red-clad female ghost had once slaughtered an entire room of players in three seconds, then hung their corpses upside down from tree branches with red silk, creating a forest of dangling bodies. The Scissorhands monster had skewered more than a dozen people together, stirring their organs with his blades until they dissolved into a pile of flesh. As for the warden, he locked each team inside separate rooms and released over a dozen ghosts among them, forcing them to betray one another in desperate attempts to survive. In the end, every single one of the players was torn to pieces. All the players knew was that the bosses' methods were monstrously cruel. What they didn't know was that tho

Alexandra reached for the wrinkled sheet of paper on the dash. “So, about a month ago, this group of teenagers decided to go poking around this supposedly haunted house on the edge of town—” William cut her off. “Haunted by what?” “Allegedly,” she said, “by a spirit who hates women. Legend says it targets girls—hangs them in the rafters.” “Oh,” I said dryly. “Awesome.”

“Never get closer to me again, or things will not end just with your broken nose.” His words were full of anger like his temper, while the Werewolf felt stupid for all the months he kept flirting around and making out with the Human in secret. Of course, other Werewolves and members of his Pack knew about it. However, for Humans, none had any idea how those two were a couple in the darkness, away from prick eyes. So, without caring how he had completely killed the mood of the whole Halloween party, he uttered such words before leaving, confusing everyone else around them besides the Werewolf’s friends.

For most people Christmas was their favorite holiday but Jamie had always loved Halloween.

Then I heard moaning sounds coming from our bedroom. My steps slowed, the moan became louder with each steps I took, my heart began to pound as I walked closer. When I reached the door, I froze, Mark was inside… dressed in a Jessica Rabbit costume. He was sitting on a guys dick while the other sucked his cock. My breath caught in my throat, I grabbed the door handle to steady myself. My bag slipped from my hand and hit the floor, with a loud thud making all three of them turn toward me.

Anyway, he kept saying that there are horrible creatures that lurk in the darkness here… While growing up he told me the story of the time when he was ten years old, his dog ran out of his family home—this townhome, the home I’m just about my home until my dad gets out of jail and the social worker says I can go back. He goes on and says that he watched his dog die that night being eaten alive by a wolf-like humanoid that he himself barely made it back home to safety.
