Once upon a Halloween night, when the full moon was brightly shining, a family of three moved into a whimsical, old house on Elm Street. The empty, squeaky house was rumored to be haunted, but the plucky family, consisting of parents Sarah and John, and their young daughter Emily, were undeterred.
After a long day of unpacking, they decided to unwind with a cozy family movie night. As the choice fell upon a classic horror movie, the fire crackled almost menacingly and their old grand clock chimed, a shiver ran down their spines. The wind outside whistled and wooshed, shaking the loose window shutters. Such a perfect, spooky, Halloween setup!
Just as the movie reached its climax, a mysterious, ghostly figure appeared in the corner of the room. Terrified, they glanced at each other, then at the figure. It started to approach them. Just as everyone squeezed their eyes shut, the figure burst into laughter.
Surprised, they opened their eyes. Standing there was none other than the town’s infamous prankster, Cheeky Charlie, wearing a bedsheet with two holes cut out for eyes. “Spooky enough for you? Happy Halloween!” And with a roar of laughter, he dashed out into the foggy night, leaving the family laughing and relieved.
