Depending on how cheesy you like your movies, Fear Street: Prom Queen is only good in one aspect. If you, however, enjoy momentous cheese, then please, by all means, ignore this article, and perhaps bring a stack of crackers with you.
No one likes it when a holiday is rained out. Especially a holiday like Halloween, when lots of the usual plans involve going outdoors.
But what if…what if a ruined Halloween could be…fixed?
The next section is here…
And George is very unhappy. Insulted by two of our three protagonists, there’s no knowing what might happen to them. What horrible, scary fate awaits…
Despite the title, I must warn you. This tale is not as whimsical as it sounds.
It’s downright creepy.
It’s October! And, as promised, every single Friday Fiction is going to be spooky, is going to be creepy, is going to maybe scare you.
This time, the iconography of choice is bats.
Starting worst and going toward best, this is a shorter but much more spoiler-heavy breakdown of these six spooky tales.
As is our tradition around here, we’ve got an extra short story for you, delivered by me, your humble Fictionmonger. And written by our usual prolific scribe, Brandon Scott.
“Big Bad” made for an interesting end to the Creature Feature collection. It’s the only story in it that fits within any of my preconceived expectations. It’s about a werewolf. The werewolf follows normal horror werewolf rules (as opposed to paranormal werewolf rules), and the story has a lot of gore and tense moments in it.
“Best of Luck” is pulling as my favorite story in the collection. Although “Ankle Snatcher” is the only one that scared me, this one was the most fun to read. I actively wish there were more pages, that the story didn’t have to be over so soon.
“In Bloom” just kept missing. Each time the horror felt like it was going to build to something, each time I thought the concept was going to hit harder, it just failed to work.
If there was an award for the most middle-of-the-road story in this collection, “It Waits in the Woods” would currently win.
I’m not that easily scared, but “Ankle Snatcher” genuinely freaked me out. The night I read it, I obeyed all the rules outlined about how not to get brutally killed by this monster that lives underneath the bed. It’s been a few days since then, and I am still overly cautious when I’m falling asleep.
