The story of the werewolf on Halloween is also quite frightening. There was a man in the village who every full moon, especially on Halloween, would turn into a werewolf. His howls could be heard throughout the forest. One Halloween, a hunter was in the forest and heard the howls. He saw the werewolf with its menacing eyes and sharp claws. The hunter managed to escape by climbing a tall tree and waiting until dawn when the werewolf turned back into a man.
Not usually. Calm bedtime stories are meant to relax you and help you fall asleep faster.
One scary Halloween bedtime story could be about a haunted house. There was an old, dilapidated mansion on the edge of town. Every Halloween night, strange noises came from it. A group of kids once dared to go near it. As they got closer, they saw a figure in the window. It was a ghostly apparition with a white sheet and empty eye sockets. They ran away screaming and never dared to go back again.
There was a Halloween when a witch flew over a town. She landed in an alley and started to cast spells. A little boy, Timmy, who was out late, saw her. The witch noticed him and cackled menacingly. She started to chase him with her broom. Timmy ran into a churchyard, thinking it might be safe. But the witch followed. As she got closer, strange things started to happen. The tombstones seemed to move, and the fog grew thicker. Just when it seemed the witch was about to catch him, a priest came out of the church and scared the witch away with a cross. Timmy was shaken but safe.
Once upon a Halloween night, a little girl named Lily was walking home from a party. The moon was full and the streets were empty. As she passed an old, abandoned house, she heard a strange noise. It was like a low growl. She stopped in her tracks, her heart pounding. She told herself it was just the wind, but when she looked at the house, she saw a pair of glowing eyes in one of the upstairs windows. Terrified, she ran all the way home and never walked that way again on Halloween.
One great Halloween scary story is 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow'. It features Ichabod Crane, a superstitious schoolteacher who encounters the Headless Horseman. The spooky atmosphere of the small town, the dark woods, and the terrifying Horseman make it a classic. Another is 'Dracula'. The vampire's ability to transform, his thirst for blood, and his charm that lures in victims create a truly scary tale. And 'Frankenstein' is also a good one. The idea of a man - made monster that is shunned by society and has a dark side is really frightening.
Sure. There's a story where a little boy was too shy to go trick - or - treating. His mom made him a special mask. When he put it on, he felt like a superhero. He went out and made lots of friends that night. The mask gave him the confidence he needed.
The story of the Pumpkin Patch Fairy is also not scary. This fairy lives in a pumpkin patch and every year on Halloween, she gives a special glow to the pumpkins that are going to be made into jack - o - lanterns. She whispers good wishes to the children who come to pick the pumpkins and makes sure everyone has a happy Halloween.
There's a Halloween story about a friendly ghost named Casper for kids. Casper was different from other ghosts. He didn't want to scare people but instead just wanted to play. However, there were other meaner ghosts in the old cemetery where he lived. On Halloween, those mean ghosts would come out and try to spook the kids who came to visit the cemetery. Casper would then try to protect the kids, which made for an exciting and a little bit scary story for the young ones.
One of the scariest has to be 'Dracula'. The idea of a vampire preying on people at night is terrifying. The way Dracula lures his victims and his powers are very spooky. Also, 'Frankenstein' can be quite scary at bedtime. The concept of a created being that goes out of control is not something you want to think about when you're trying to sleep.
Sure. 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow' is a great one. It's about Ichabod Crane and his encounter with the Headless Horseman. Another is 'Room on the Broom' which tells the story of a kind witch and her animal friends on a broomstick. And 'The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything' is also good, where an old lady faces spooky things without fear.
