Halloween Night Costumes

It was a cold, dark and dingy Halloween night. The moon was full, although it was mostly covered by weightless fog and charcoal black clouds. The sky was just as creepy as all the realistic costumes. The night was perfect for Halloween night. The crisp leaves on the trees rattled when the wind blew. When people walk on the fallen leaves, they would crunch like someone was eating potato chips. People were everywhere, walking up and down, around and through the neighborhoods. Some were wearing cute, colored, sparkly costumes and others were wearing the complete opposite. Some so realistic that you could not tell if it was a costume or not, just like the man behind the mask. My family and I just got done trick-or-treating since it was becoming dark out. I was only 6 so we did not trick-or-treat late since it got scarier as the night grew older. My parents, who just got done trick-or-treating with us, were invited to a Halloween party. They put on their costumes, my mom was Meredith Grey and my dad was Derek Shepherd from Grey’s Anatomy. When they were done getting ready they left, and we were all alone. It was just my sister, Bobbi, who at the time was 25, my oldest brother, …show more content…
We could faintly see the light from upstairs like it is a light at the end of the tunnel. When we turned back around to see why the basement light went out on the electrical box, there was a tall person in a black as night cape, standing there with a light shining over his bright red, bloody, scream mask. We ran like the wind, crying and screaming. We were running through the house turning on all the lights, but then the man behind the mask would just turn them back off. We all ran upstairs to my brothers room to have him help us, but he was gone. The only thing on our minds was that we were going to die, not thinking what if it was just Nick playing a prank on

    To many, the end of October is a time of corn mazes, costume parties, and haunted houses. Many cultures celebrate harvest festivals during October, though none are as well-known as Halloween. Because Halloween is primarily descended from the Celtic festival of Samhain, when some think of Halloween, they think of bats and cats and witches. However, although Halloween as it is currently know is a wholly American creation with regional rituals handed down by generations, it did not become a “full-blown American holiday” until the turn of the century (Bannatyne). Because of the contemporary nature of Halloween, without Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, Sylvia Plath’s “Lady Lazarus”, and George A. Romero’s Night Of The Living Dead, the holiday as we…

    According to police reports, at midnight a group of men heard shrieks coming from the historic mansion off Rosewood Way. While investigating the noise one the men who wouldn’t identify himself said, “As we tiptoed through the halls of the home I noticed a weird smell. It reeked of stale air and rot and MacBride’s sour cologne.” Several of the men felt a cold whoosh of air pass by them as they came face-to- face with a bluish-gray ghost, whose wispy edges warped and coiled into a man-shaped shimmer of mist. After the incident, the shaken men immediately telephoned the police.…

It was a fairly peaceful Halloween night and the sun was about to set. My friends and I were walking around the village, what Germans call a town. After about half an hour of us walking around and talking, some acne filled, tall, muscular and older, German teenagers came up to us.…

    The author doesn’t comprehend why there are parents who allow their children to participate in these kinds of events. The author then proceeds to assert that she doesn’t “get Halloween, ..the celebration, ..the pumpkins” and overall the “creepy ghostly” features on houses. The adoption of repetition is to prompt the idea to the audience that the whole celebration is chaotic to her and shows the reason why she has written this article. Moreover, the comment attached was written by another parent, Ellie, conveys an opposite point of views from Warren’s. Ellie informs in a relaxed tone that she views Halloween as a “street party” as the other parents are able to “chat, ..meet now neighbours” and the “kids (are able to) get some excitement” during this event.…
