Haircut.
"And that's why it's important to crack the perfect pun before killing someone. Understand?" Freddy asked his apprentice Alice.
"Yes Freddy." She said.
"Good. Class dismissed." Alice left for the day and Freddy sat on the couch. Suddenly Carrie burst in and Freddy could tell she was upset because the couch was mid-air.
"What's wrong Carrie?" He asked.
"Sweeny Todd is on vacation this week and I'm having a really bad hair day. Look." Carrie pointed to her messy hair, with roots showing and everything.
"Yeah. Hair's a bitch." Freddy said. "Luckily for you, I happened to be a barber before I became the Springwood Slasher."
"I thought you worked in a boiler room." Carrie said.
"Yeah, well before that I was a barber." Freddy said. "So you want me to cut your hair?"
Carrie thought about then said "Yes." They both went into the basement and Freddy got a chair ready for Carrie. She sat on it and Freddy covered her in an old blanket. Instead of cutting with conventional scissors, Freddy used his own claws. The truth was he lied; he was never really a barber. But he remembered hearing about a man, or rather a man bot named Edward Scissorhands. They said his hair cutting abilities rivaled that of Sweeny Todd's and he was the best barber in Horrortown. Freddy figured if some loser like that could cut hair, why not him?
After about 30 minutes, Freddy was finished.
"Done!" He said. He gave Carrie a mirror. "What do you think?"
"What do I think?" Carrie asked in a stern voice after seeing her new hairdo. "I THINK IT'S PERFECT!" Carrie smiled as she ran her fingers through her new hair. It was short but in a cute innocent way. "Thank you Freddy!"
"You're welcome." Freddy said. "Hehe." He thought. "Maybe after this Carrie might reward me with some fruit from her tree!"
"I gotta tell Tiffany!" Carrie shouted.
"Yeah! Wait what!"
"And Kayako. And Sadako. And Jennifer!" Carrie rushed upstairs, passing Alice along the way.
"Hey Carrie! Nice haircut!" She said.
"Thanks! Freddy gave it to me!" Carrie ran out of the basement.
"So, you cut hair now?" Alice said, stroking her brown, reddish hair.
"Fuck." Freddy said.
(I'll introduce Alice better in another story.)
