As midnight swept over Pumpkin Lane, the full moon cast eerie shadows across the Wright’s mansion, ‘Halloween Haven’, known for its epic annual Halloween party. This year, the theme was ‘Haunted Hollywood’, with glammed up ghouls draping the stately rooms.
Cue lights on Jack O’Lantern, the leading man, garbed as a phantom film star. He flaunted an uncanny resemblance to late actor, Vincent Steele, whose ghost was rumored to haunt the mansion. His horrific demise during a film shoot on the premises was shrouded in mystery.
Our leading lady, bewitching Betty, donned a flapper ghost dress with an undeniable allure of vintage vixen. The dance of shadows began as the grandfather clock struck twelve.
Just as the party hit its zenith, O’Lantern, playing his part to perfection, fell with a heart-stopping thud, mimicking Steele’s fatal scene. A gasp echoed. But alas, it was a scene too lifelike! Our hero had vanished – along with his glamorous ghost lover, Betty.
Partygoers were left aghast, the revelry turned into a ghastly groan. Gone without a trace, the leading man and lady had stolen the Halloween spotlight, becoming the stuff of the very legends they partied to honour.
The surprise? No one named Betty was invited to the party, and Mr. Jack O’Lantern’s real name was… Vincent!
