Festering brainless zombies hunting for human flesh. Malevolent witches preying on the souls of lost children. Scary ghouls, ghosts, and poltergeists that go bump in the night. Psychopathic serial killers with diabolical methods of dispatching their poor victims. Ferocious werewolves prowling the dark woods and misty moors. Soulless aliens intent on human dominion. Vampiric parasites with an insatiable thirst for human blood. Bring them all! Who among you can scare us the most?

Sounds like fun! Of course, the cardinal rule of Hallowe'en stories is that even though the basement lights don't work, Molly still goes down the steps to investigate the bumping noise... 😂

This is probably the most appetizing contest in a long time. I'd love to participate, but as i write this comment a stormy wind has started to blow, my room's door slammed open, the roof is screeching and banging as if every zinc plate wants to set free from a sophocating oppressor.
It's raining cats and dogs already and actually, my dogs are barking and whining like I've never seen them doing before, and my black cat has just ran away as if he saw the devil himself or he's sure the rain will fall only on our dilapidated house.
I can't blame them; when it rains being inside or outside of the house does not make much of a difference, we get drenched anyways.
If I make it through the night, I'll submit my humble story.

Question. I've posted a few stories that might be right for this contest on my own blog in the past. Can I use one of those or does it have to be something brand new? Also, are we allowed to enter multiple stories?

I don't normally do fiction, but I feel emboldened to do so since winning a recent Chibera fiction writing contest.... let's see what I can produce.
Can it also be funny? My only real experience with Halloween stories are the Simpsons Treehouse of Horrors specials and Nightmare Before Christmas.... ever since I've never really been able to take Halloween seriously. So not sure how scary I can actually be, but can certainly go for "supernatural themes".
