THE HAUNTED HOUSE MEME

it's getting to be that time of year: pumpkins, crunchy leaves, creepy guys in masks with large bladed weapons killing people... and ghosts, of course. and where there are ghosts, there are haunted houses.

prompts: 01. halloween horror nights: why would you pay that much money to get scared on purpose? here's your option for theme park-style terror. 02. test of courage: the neighborhood association's putting on a homemade traditional sort of haunted house in one of the local schools, but who cares about whatever fundraiser they're doing, someone just called you a chicken! (at least they'll let you go in pairs or trios if you want to.) 03. at home: wait, what was that noise? there's no one else home! except, maybe, the previous residents. 04. that sounds fake, but ok: poltergeists aren't real, obviously, but that's why you're around instead. time to set up a hilarious tripwire trap! 05. wildcard: or, you know, do whatever you want.

as usual, drop top-levels with or without a starter, or let me know if you want someone in particular and i will provide!!

ftr if you want more reaction pictures for ~inspiration
here's an album of them. ;)

"You're only stuck doing this because you chickened out of the haunted house, you know," she whispers, gleeful, "don't be such a scaredyyy-cat about it."

"I'm not bein' a scaredy-cat," Jun snaps, a little too loud for the space, and drags her voice back down to a harsh whisper. "And I didn't chicken out, I just think it's stupid!"

(She chickened out. Then again, shrieking in the haunted house would have involved just as much teasing as this, so. Whatever, in the end.)

She reaches down to pop open her mirror and check the red face paint "dripping" down her chin. "You're sure they're gonna come this way?"
