The THRILLER Tales VI
Prelude *Alfred Hitchcock Reference*
An Alfred Hitchcock theme song sounds as the mysterious shadow appears before your very eyes, which that shadow turns out to be Bruce Patterson.
"Good evening fellow Halloween and horror fanatics, these next Halloween stories your about to hear is absolutely more gruesome and more frightening than the last stories. So those who don't want you to read the stories are all a bunch of crybabies out there which are concerned parents and religious people, not that I have a problem with them, I'm a parent and a Christian myself." Bruce said, then he continues on
"At least I don't whine and complain and cry like they do, I mean those people are not as bad as those who whine, complain and cry over wanting to ban fighting and checking in hockey which they're the ones ruining the sport I love by wanting to sissify the game! Well guess what you fighting haters and the NHL governors as well as Gary Bettman! FU-..." as he continues to rant and about to shout those angry words he was cut off by the NHL logo,
"Bruce, are you ranting about the NHL?" that was Tiffany Lee's voice,
"Well it's not technically about the NHL sweetheart, I was just..." Bruce explained,
"Well could you please keep it down? I just put Silas to bed." Tiffany Lee said,
"Sorry babe." Bruce said and he continues,
"Well never mind folks. Let's get on with these scary tales already."
It was a dark and cold rainy Halloween night, we returned home from trick or treating with the kids, I dressed up a vampire, my lovely Sarah as Starfire, Hinata as Pikachu, Cameron as Dedenne and also Michael dresses up as Squirtle, the kids are little Pokémon this Halloween. Along with us are Tiffany Lee and Bruce with Silas which he dresses up as a chipmunk, Professor Lewis and Aaloka with Pia which she dresses up as a sunflower, Aki, Anya, Kim and Marlena also accompanied us that wet night.
Later, while kids counted their candies evenly, we all watch the reboot of "Ghostbusters" until suddenly the power shut down into a blackout. The kids screamed in panic.
"AAAAAH!"
"It's dark! I'm scared!" Cameron whined,
"Me too!" Pia whines,
"Don't panic kids. I got a light." Bruce said, as he turned a flashlight on,
"Do you guys have any candles in the house?" he asked,
"Sure, it's up stairs." Sarah answered,
"I'll show you where man." I said as I offered to get the candles, we went upstairs to the kitchen and found the candles in one of the cupboard, 25 kinds of scented candles,
"Scented candles, really Joe?" Bruce asked sarcastically,
"Hey man I love scented candles okay, I just love the smell of vanilla, apple cinnamon, winter pine, rain and meadows...anyway let's just bring the down so I can light em'." I said, so we went back downstairs had the candles lit and everybody just love the smell of pumpkin spice candles being lit,
"So what should we do to pass the time?" Aaloka asked,
"We should play board games." Aki suggested,
"I call Yahtzee!" Kim called,
"No we just did that last year." Sarah said,
"How about about electronic games? Game Boy or Game Gear?" Marlena asked,
"No, we'll probably save that possible next year." Tiffany Lee suggested,
"Well what about Halloween stories? We've done this for 5 years running. Why don't we go for the 6th year?" Sarah asked,
"Well it is Halloween, I'm up for stories, all in favour?" I asked,
"Aye!" everybody agrees unanimously,
"Kids, you wanna hear Halloween stories?" Bruce asked,
"Yay! Story time!" the kids gleefully agreed,
"Okay gather round, because I got a really good one, so scary..." Anya offered for a story until Tiffany Lee interrupted,
"Wait a second Anya, is this story safe for the kids to hear?" she asked,
"Oh da, it's fine, it's not so scary, it's practically kinda funny. So now it all started when 4 families like yous traveled through the misty mountains and..."
