#378 A Fright to Remember

In the lead-up to the scariest time of the year, what do you like to do? Are the pumpkins carved yet? Are the bags of candy ready for any trick-or-treaters? Is your costume complete, or — if you’re staying home like me — have you already decided on which scary film to watch in the darkness of your living room?

This week, let’s lean into all things spooky with these horror-centered prompts. Give us creepy characters, sinister plot twists, sounds from an unknown source… anything that’ll make us want to leave the lights on before bed!
