Once upon a time, on a moonlit Halloween night, a family known as the Halloweeds lived in a dilapidated mansion atop a hill. This family had a not-so-secret secret—they were a coven of witches! With a buzzard named Beaker and whispers of voodoo, they were the talk and terror of the town below.
This particular Halloween night, the town had decided to brave the bluff and face the fiendish family. Armed with pitchforks and hammers, lanterns swaying to the beat of their pounding hearts, the jittery crowd ascended the haunted hill.
Meanwhile, the Halloweeds were brewing their annual Halloween stew. A swirl of bat wings, a pinch of moon dust, and surprise ingredient this year, laughter of a clown, the family was ready to celebrate in their spooky style.
Peering through their widow’s walk, they spotted the mob marching towards their mansion. Instead of panicking, they cooked up a plan, a pinch of mischief in their eyes.
As the townsfolk reached the mansion, bracing for a battle, they were met with an unexpected sight. The Halloweeds stood, waving banners that cheerfully read, “Happy Halloween!” before inviting them all in for a taste of their delicious pumpkin pie. Their bravely baked not-so-secret secret ingredient? You guessed it– laughter of a clown. The best kind of welcome and trick-or-treat surprise!
