Halloween Humor

- Contributed by Sue

First gather together a bunch of ghoulishly creepy people. One person will do all the writing while asking the others, in turn, to give a noun (person, place or thing), adjective (a descriptive word like big, green or fuzzy) or the name of a friend or famous person - you get the idea. No one knows the context of the story until it is read out at the end. This page is completely interactive in that you will interact with your demonic, easily jammed printer, printing out the stories and then you will interact with a pencil, a sharp, pointy, deadly weapon and then...strangest of all, you will interact with whatever humanoids you have on hand.
