Ok.. it really doesn't look like much. lol But seriously the woods catty cornered behind our house was used for the annual haunted trails.
This was the Freddy Krueger bus. You have no idea how many people peed their pants going through it. I know because the bus was one of my group's scenes a few times.
Wouldn't it be scary if one of my kids had friends over for a sleep over and they saw strobe lights on the bus and heard a metal fork scraping a pan as I walked up the stairs in the dark? Muwahahaa!

ReplyDeleteHey Erin, it's time for some new posts!!!! You can't keep your fans waiting!!!
ReplyDeletethinking of a story that comes to mind when reading this
ReplyDeleteMom: "oh dear what is the matter my darling"(come to console one of her children, which she had awaken to find screaming)
Child: "oh mother i think there is a monster in my closet/under my bed"
Mother: "no darling that isn't so, but you are close"
Child: "what do you mean" in the childs thoughts "your supposed to just say no, then check anyway, then procede to get me a glass of water, read me a happy story stay with me till i fall asleep which means you fall asleep sitting up while reading and tomorrow is followed with back pain and a ton of advil"
Mother: "well i know you dont know who or what im saying because well you are too young to know" in her thoughts "well thats what some mothers do but...."
interrupting what the mother is saying mid-thought, as a child usually does:
Child: "im not too young, please tell me!"
Mother: "alright but you cant come crying to me when i do, thats your fathers job" in her thoughts "next time he gets to wake up at 1:30 and do this"
Child: "yes, yes of course" in the thoughts of the child "well this isnt how it usually goes but if i get to stay up...works for me :)"
Mother: "well there is a bus behind the house,you know?" the child shakes their head eagerly awaiting her to continue "and in that bus lives a monster" the childs eyes are filled with terror "his name is freddy krueger, he comes to haunt you in your dreams,see the monster is not under your bed or in your closet, just out back"
Child: "wait mom please you dont have to go any further"
Mother: "i thought you were a big boy"
Child: "i am" the child wispers then chants it again as the little engine that could would do
Mother: "ok well ive got a few movies that you might be interested in, those grown up movies that you have been longing to watch"
Child: thoughts come "oooh, she is going to let me watch those,oooh" the childs thoughts completely forgotten what the movie is actually about "yes ma'am i would love to watch the movie"
Mother: "i didnt say you could, you know you would get scared"
Child: thoughts reacurring "oh no shes right those movies no and that scary monster lives out back there, but i will get to brag to everyone that i got to see a grown-up movie and bobby johnsmith will finally see that im cooler than he." "yes mother i want to see it please"
Mother: "ok"
several hrs later mother has gone to bed thinking peace and quiet, child still and now wide awake
Child: thoughts="what, what was that. mom told me it wasnt real but then again she said he did live in my back yard."...5 min later "i cant fall asleep, uh what was that"...5 more min later "i see eyes" child screams "freddy ahhhh!"
he runs to his parents room fast asleep goes to his mothers side
Child: "mom freddy, hes in my room, come now"
Mother: thoughts "what in the" she slowly opens her eyes and looks into her childs full of innocent terror "who is where" and then slowly it is coming back to her "oh, well that didnt work im not supposed to be up that big blob under the covers is supposed to be" she says "arent you supposed to be telling your father this"
Child: "yeah, but he is sleeping"
Mother: she thinks "what was i doing eating popcorn, guess i should have figured that this would happen he always gets to sleep like a baby" she begins to say in a grogy banter that just comes natural "ok lets go check this out"
Child: "no mom hes not in my room remember hes out there" he points to the window and looks back at the mother "can i sleep with you"
Mother: "yup thats exactly what i get" she thinks
half an hour later:
Mother: "what, what?" the covers are ripped off and she is now freezing nearly falling off and thinks "yes this is definantly what i get, an award would be nice for this type of duty that rewards me with no sleep, my lesson is definantly learned"
