Title:
Halloween Decorations


Dan: So Susan tell me why are you’re parents and your brother living with us?

Susan: Because Dan mom and dad have gone through financial problems and Frank is still having his drug problems.

Dan: But why now we just bought this house and we’ve been in it for only 2 days and now we have to share it with your parents and brother I just wish to relax when I get home. The electrician job is tough.

Susan: Well there’s no backing out now cause here they are.

Mom, Dad, & Frank walk through the door.

Mom: Oh hey long time no see Susan, Dan.

Everybody hugged and shook each other’s hand and greeted one another. Frank walked out the room.

Susan: So how’s Frank doing?

Dad: Not too well Susan we caught him shooting heroin last week we’re trying to get him on cold turkey. But anyway let’s change the subject Susan have you’ll heard about the best decorated Halloween house wins 1000 dollars. They check inside and outside the house.

Dan: No kidding.

Dad: You know this house would be perfect all the townsfolk are talking about this place having murders occurred in it everybody somebody moves in it.

Dan: Probably a bunch of village idiots Mr. Bradley.

Mr. Bradley: You’re probably right but still it’s a bit creepy with Halloween coming up in a week.

Dan: You are right about that boy I’d like to have that 1000 dollar prize.

He left the room.

THE NEXT DAY

Dan: Hey Susan come here and help me with these things.

Susan: What is It Dan?

Dan lugged one of the things in it was a monster with a knife holding a severed head.

Susan: Jesus Christ that’s Hideous.

Dan: And it’s going on our roof.

Susan: Why?

Dan: The 1000 dollar prize. Come on you remember. It’s mechanical. Watch.

He pressed a button and the monster howled and screamed and swung his knife around.

Dan: pretty cool huh? Got it from some electronics shop. I got more if you’ll help me.

Susan: You bought more.

Dan: yeah I figure I’ll need a lot to win that prize.

Susan: All this for 1000 dollars.

Dan: yeah. Plus I got these 75% off too.

She and Dan brought in 3 more things.

A Knight that you hung in hallways that when you pushed a button the axe came straight down the Knight had blood all over it. The next one was a bloodied up cook with a severed head on a silver platter along with in his hand a butcher knife. The last thing was a black hooded axe man with blood on his axe. There was also more little stuff like banners, cobwebs, and fake tombstones as well. Dan wanted that prize.

Dan: Now to hang them up.

Frank walked in.

Dan: Hey Frank can you help me hang this thing on the roof.

Frank: What in god’s name is that?

Dan: Our 1000 dollar prize. Come on.

Him and Frank went up the stairs on the roof taping the monster to the chimney.

Dan: Pretty cool eh?

Frank: Really Cool.

They went back down putting the knight in the main hallway, the axe man in the garden, and the cook in the kitchen.

Dan: I think we did an excellent job now the little things.

They hung all those up.

Mr. And Mrs. Bradley walked up.

Mrs. Bradley: Dear god what’s that in the garden.

Dan: Money.

He walked off.

That Night.

Frank snuck out of his bedroom with heroin needles and heroin itself. He climbed out onto the roof. He started puncturing himself with heroin.

Frank: God Yeah.

He then turned around and was freaked out to see the monster holding a severed head.

Frank: AHH!! Oh..It’s only a decoration.

He then pushed the button hearing the screaming and howling. Frank started laughing and turned around but all of a sudden the monster swung itself with its arm hitting Frank hard in the back of the head. Frank stumbled before falling off the roof landing on the steel iron the fence which went right through Frank killing him instantly.

Everybody rushed outside to see the commotion only finding Frank’s remains and looking up on the roof seeing the grinning decoration.

THE NEXT DAY

Susan: Dan get rid of that decoration.

Dan: I’ve already told you it was Frank’s fault he was taking heroin on the roof he probably didn’t know what he was doing and jumped down.

Susan: But you saw that thing grinning.

Dan: Honey it’s only a decoration. All right.

Susan: It’s got to be related to his death somehow.

Dan: It’s not Susan trust me.

Susan: Okay.

Though in her heart she knew that decoration had something to do with Frank’s death.

Mrs. Bradley: Susan dear is it okay if I go to make the necessary arrangements for Frank’s funeral by myself.

Susan: What about Dad Mom?

Mrs. Bradley: Your father’s not feeling well dear he’s always loved Frank and now he’s just sitting in the garden all depressed it would make him rather sad to plan his son’s funeral. Oh I better go.

She left the house.

Dan: Well I better go to work by Susan.

He left.

Susan: Maybe I can tend the garden today.

She walked toward the garden and saw Mr. Bradley leave it heading for the house. Susan went to the garden.

Mr. Bradley was walking down the hallway passing the knight when all of a sudden he saw something inside the knight.

Mr. Bradley: What’s That?

He looked in the knight again only suddenly the fake hard axe came down crushing Mr. Bradley’s skull. He slumped on the ground dead. Susan heard the noise and rushed in the hallway screaming she rushed to the phone and called 911.

Susan: My father I think he’s dead.

911 Operator: Will send someone there right away!

Dan arrives home seeing police cars there Mrs. Bradley and Susan are outside.

Dan: What the hell is going on?

He gets out of his car after parking it.

Susan: It’s dad…

Dan: What happened?

Susan: Those damn decorations of yours that knight the axe slammed down crushing my dad’s head in.

Dan: Jesus Christ! He’s dead.

Susan: It’s all because of those idiotic decorations.

Dan: All right honey I promise to take all the decorations back when I get home tomorrow. I guess we have to arrange the funeral plans tonight and all.

Mrs. Bradley: Maybe the house is haunted.

Dan: Don’t be ridiculous.

Susan: Maybe it is.

THE NEXT DAY

Susan is working in the garden when Mrs. Bradley walks up.

Mrs. Bradley: I’m going to buy two tombstones for Frank and Harry’s graves. Will you be okay here by yourself.

Susan: Yes mom.

Mrs. Bradley: I’ll go get my purse from the kitchen.

Susan: Okay.

Her mom walks away. Suddenly Susan hears a scream from the kitchen but then she hears a cracking noise in the garden hearing loud thumping steps she turns around and sees the walking figure of the hooded axe man. Swinging his axe.

Susan: AHHH!!!!!

She then takes off running with the axe man chasing her swinging his axe. Susan runs into the kitchen looking for a knife but turns around and sees the live figure of the cook with her mom’s hand on a silver platter and her mom’s stabbed and dead body in the open oven.

Susan: AHHH!!!

She swings the butcher knife and decapitates the cook only wires and electrocution go off.

Susan: What’s Going On?

Just then the axe man busted in the kitchen only it stopped. Every movement of it stopped and it hunched forward. Just then Dan walked in.

Susan: Dan you’ve got to help me?

She hugged him.

Dan: From What?

Susan: Those demonic decorations!!!!!!!!!!!

Dan: Oh Those! How many times have I told you they don’t do anything!

Susan: Are You crazy look at my mom she’s being shoved in an oven!

Dan: They do it but they don’t know it!

Susan: What do you mean?

Dan: This darling.

He pulled out a remote control. He pushed a button causing the axe man to rise then he pushed it and made the axe man stop.

Dan: They are remote controlled by me!

Susan: You killed everybody!

Dan: Oh yes after your parents moved in I decided to look up the life insurance on everybody here and it was a shitt load! I can promise you that. Why else would I keep on babbling that the decorations were money. I realized a way to kill everybody was to use robots. If you remember these Halloween decorations are robotic and I am a electrician so I put these special units in them and use the remote control to manipulate them to kill.
Soon dear I will be pretty rich thanks to these decorations. I’ll tell the cops you and your mother were horribly murdered by some robbers and I the lonesome widow will inherit some life insurance the perfect plan.

Susan was trapped at a wall and realized she couldn’t do anything since her butcher knife was damaged from the decapitation of one robot.

Dan: Have fun Susan Ha ha Ha Ha ha Ha Ha!!!!!

He pressed the remote control making the axe man swing his axe stabbing and hacking Susan to death. She fell over in a puddle of blood.

Dan: Ha Ha….

He accidentally bumped into the decapitated robot causing him to drop his remote control which shattered to pieces.

Dan: Oh Great!

But instead of the axe man shutting down it went out of control swinging his axe crazily unfortunately for Dan the axe was heading toward him.

Dan: AHHH!!!!

The robot swung his axe silencing Dan forever.

It appears nobody would win this Halloween decoration contest
