An idea is to draw a group of trick - or - treaters. The story could be about their journey through a neighborhood filled with strange houses. At one house, they get more than just candy. They are given a mysterious map that leads them to an old, abandoned carnival. There, they meet all kinds of spooky characters and have to find their way back home before dawn.
You could draw a jack - o' - lantern and tell a story about how it comes to life at midnight on Halloween. Maybe it has a little adventure in the pumpkin patch, scaring away small animals with its glowing face.
A great idea is a story about a cursed carnival. The main character is a visitor who gets trapped inside. As the story progresses, the reader can decide whether the character should ride the spooky rollercoaster or enter the fortune - teller's tent. Also, a story set in an old, abandoned graveyard where the dead seem to be coming back to life. The reader can choose how the character will deal with the rising corpses, whether to fight them or try to find a way to put them back to rest.
Once upon a Halloween night, a little girl named Lily was trick - or - treating. She went to an old, spooky house at the end of the street. As she knocked on the door, a cold wind blew. The door creaked open, and there was an old lady with a big black cat. The lady gave Lily a strange - looking candy. When Lily took a bite, she suddenly found herself in a world full of floating pumpkins and ghosts. But she was very brave. She found a magic wand among the pumpkins and used it to break the spell. Then she was back in front of the old house and ran home safely.
One idea could be a story about an old, abandoned asylum. At night, a group of teenagers decides to explore it. As they enter, they hear strange noises, like whispers and moans. The doors start to close on their own, trapping them inside. Then, they see shadowy figures moving in the dimly lit hallways. It turns out the asylum was once a place of cruel experiments, and the spirits of the victims are still there, seeking revenge on anyone who disturbs their resting place.
One way is to start by choosing classic Halloween characters like witches or vampires to draw. Then, for the story, you can make up tales about their spooky adventures in a haunted forest. For example, the witch could be looking for ingredients for her potion and encounters a mischievous ghost along the way.
Draw a ukulele. The story could be that a young musician found an old ukulele in an attic. As he started playing it, the ukulele seemed to have a life of its own, and its music attracted all kinds of magical creatures.
One good Halloween story is 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow'. It's about Ichabod Crane, a superstitious schoolteacher, and his encounter with the Headless Horseman. Another is 'The Monkey's Paw'. A family is given a cursed monkey's paw that grants wishes but with terrible consequences. And there's also 'Frankenstein'. Dr. Frankenstein creates a monster through his scientific experiments, which is a classic spooky tale.
Maybe Buffy is having a nightmare on Halloween about all the vampires she has fought. In this nightmare, there is a strange sexual undertone as the vampires are both menacing and alluring at the same time. As she tries to break free from the nightmare, she discovers a new side of her strength and her relationship with her friends becomes more complex as she tries to hide this strange experience.
Well, for a more unique take, consider being the Christmas star. Make a big star - shaped costume out of gold or silver fabric. In some Christmas stories, the star plays a very important role. Or be one of the Three Wise Men. Dress in long robes with rich colors like purple and gold, and carry a small box as a gift. And don't forget about being Santa Claus's helper. Wear a red and white outfit with some soot marks on it to look like you've been busy in the North Pole, all inspired by Christmas stories for your Halloween costume.
Here's another. 'The Woman in White'. There was a beautiful woman who was jilted at the altar on her wedding day. Heartbroken, she threw herself into a nearby river. Now, on Halloween nights, she can be seen walking along the riverbank, dressed all in white. Her face is pale as a ghost, and she weeps silently. If you happen to cross her path, she will stare at you with her sad, empty eyes, and it's said that a feeling of deep sorrow will overcome you. Some who have seen her claim that she disappears into thin air when you blink.
