Trick or Treat - Publish your scariest halloween story and win a new badge

in #halloween • 6 years ago (edited)

What about adding a new badge to your board of honor?

What is halloween?

Halloween or Hallowe'en (a contraction of Hallows' Evening) is a celebration observed in a number of countries on 31 October, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows' Day.]


It is widely believed that many Halloween traditions originated from ancient Celtic harvest festivals, particularly the Gaelic festival Samhain; that such festivals may have had pagan roots; and that Samhain itself was Christianized as Halloween by the early Church.


Halloween activities include trick-or-treating (or the related guising), attending Halloween costume parties, carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns, lighting bonfires, apple bobbing, divination games, playing pranks, visiting haunted attractions, telling scary stories, and watching horror films. In many parts of the world, the Christian religious observances of All Hallows' Eve, including attending church services and lighting candles on the graves of the dead, remain popular, although elsewhere it is a more commercial and secular celebration.

      This is really fun. Last night I watched John Carpenter's Village of the Damned, and I came up with an original story of my own.

      Please share this original tale I wrote about a wicked troll and pumpkin magic.

      Feel free to publish anything you want. It would be better (but not mandatory) with some text and, most important, do not forget to include the magic words!

      I've already written two scary Halloween posts in the last few days, so I won't torment my followers with another. I've included them here and have upvoted this post. I don't think they qualify, but they are fun, I think :)

                  Unfortunately, your post won't qualify for this challenge because it has been posted way before this post and it doesn't meet the challenge's rules.
                  Anyway, you're welcome to submit a new story.
