2º ESO A - CLAUDIA FERNÁNDEZ MORALEJA

It was Halloween night. I looked out the front window at my house and saw… Oh!!! They were Juan and Aitana, they wanted to scare me! “Hi guys!” I said. “Come on Claudia! We can't be late!” Aitana said. “Ok, just 2 minutes.” I lied…

After 10 minutes.... “Clauuuuuudia! Come down!” “I'm almost ready!” Aitana, Juan and I went to the party where we were meeting the rest of our class (2ºESO A). When we arrived, all the class was there. The music wasn´t ready! At eleven o'clock, music started and we all danced. The songs we danced were: La Gozadera (because Diego proposed it), How deep is you love, Lady Madrid, The mordidita, I just wanna break the rules, La bamba, Deep down low, Outside, Ain´t nobody, Marry the night, Total eclipse of the heart, Ginza, Play my music... We were dancing until 1:00AM because, suddenly, many vampires and witches appeared!!! “Oh God! The witches are catching Raquel, Pablo, Alex, Juan, Clara and Jimena!!” Alejandra said. “And the monsters are eating them! They're going to die!” Noelia added. “Quickly!!!!!!! Follow me” Adela proposed. All the class followed Adela, because she knew a hiding place to be safe. We were all so excited and speaking at the same time so I said: “Shut up everyone! Thanks. I have an idea; we are going to go out of this place, ok? Because I'm listening to noise near this hiding place and I think vampires are coming, but, keep calm please.” “Ok, perfect!” Héctor said “It´s seems a very good idea” Ana, Carmen and Johnny said. “I'm so scared” Gema said. “Don´t worry! Be happy!” Diego told her. And he hugged Gema. “Okay, let´s go!”

Finally we were in the street; we ran a lot because vampires ran very quickly. “Oh my god!!! Where are Gabriela, Adrián, Adela, Jorge, Gabriel and Claudia?” “There!!! They're flying!?” Inés said. “Nooo!! They´re becoming vampires!!” Carmen said. “And their bodies are exploding” Ana said. “We must go on or we are going to die!” Eva said. “Auchhh! I want to dance! //♪and gozadera is here...♪//” Diego was singing. “Shut up!!!!” everyone said at the same time. “You´re so annoying Diego!!” Aitana told him. “And you so pretty honey!” Diego replied. “Stupid...” everyone said again. The 2ºA survivors (until that moment) went to eat something to a McDonald´s. They were thinking about everything that had happened in the last hours of their lives when a bomb fell and all 2ºA survivors died. It was the worst Halloween night ever. Nowadays, nobody knows why 2ºA CLASS died that awful night. People think that the person who organized everything was their school tutor, Noelia García.

2º ESO B - ISMAEL CARBALLAR DEL VALLE

It was Halloween night. I looked out the front window at my house and saw a light. It was a mild light, and the street was very dark. I lived in a village with my two brothers and my parents, but that night my grandparents came. I was a little bit scared, so I thought “be calm, it is a funny night, put your costume on and...” Ti-ti ti- ti. The light was trembling. Now I was a little bit more scared. After that, I turned around and... “Aaaaah!” There there was my mother and she said to me: “Shhh! The dinner is ready. Your grandparents are waiting for you, and now, go to the living room.” When she turned around, I saw a spider running on hes neck. I shouted, but when I blinked again there was nothing. “What is wrong with you?” said my mother. “No..No...Nothing, sorry.” “Ok, now go to the living room.” “Ok, I´m sorry mum.” When she disappeared, I thought: “Something is wrong here.” At that moment I was really scared and nervous. After that, I went to my bedroom, but my lovely cat wasn’t there. I started looking for him, but it was not there. Suddenly, the light turned off. Tu-tum Tu-tum Tu- tum. I turned around, but I could not see anything. Tu-tum Tu-tum Tu-tum. Someone was walking. Tu-tum Tu-tum Tu-tum. When the light turned on, I jumped and shouted, but there was my little sister laughing. “Oh, you are silly, Marta, don´t scare me.” “After that, we went to the living room. All the family was there. They were very serious and calmed. All of them look at us, and after that they did not say anything and continued eating a strange soup... with... eyes? I looked around but my sister was not there. I was really scared, sweaty, and nervous. “Marta? Marta?” “Who are you talking to?” said my father. “To your third child, of course.” “I only have two children, you and Alice.” “Ok, it does not matter.” My voice was trembling, and I was really scared and very sweaty, because when I looked at him he had a bit of blood in the hands. I sat on the chair and, suddenly, there was a sound. Tin! The chicken was ready. When I looked around my mother was not there, but I thought: “It does not matter, they are your family and they love you” but in my head I was thinking that they were crazy. “The chicken is ready!” said my grandmother with a crazy face and smiling. After that, all the people started laughing and smiling. I made a nervous smile, but I was terrified. When she put the chicken on the table it was not like a chicken. “Eat it dear, it is delicious.” she said smiling. “O...O...O...Ok.” I ate it, but it was very disgusting. Suddenly... I heard a shout from Marta and after that my mother appeared smiling with a lot of blood, and all the people stood up and started smiling and laughing. “What is this?” I was terrified, very nervous and sweaty. “Roast cat…” said my grandmother. Everyone started laughing very loudly. I spat ... that thing, and I saw a lot of spiders running on the wall. I started crying... and I saw that my mother had a knife with a lot of blood on it. Then I asked: “How can you have done this?” I was crying a lot, and my grandma said: “We like roast cat, and now... we want to eat you, so you are the next.” I started shouting, crying and...

2º ESO C - PATRICIA GARCÍA BORDES

It was Halloween night. I looked out the front window at my house and saw a group of children asking for candies in the street in front of me. "Trick or treat! Trick or treat!" They were wearing costumes. One of them was a vampire, another one was a pumpkin, another was a skeleton and a little girl was a witch. At that moment an enormous dark cloud appeared over them. They looked at it frightened. I heard a terrible noise and, suddenly, the vampire disappeared! The children screamed. I was terrified. I tried to leave my house to help them but I couldn´t open the door. It was closed. I run to the window and just at that moment the pumpkin disappeared too. The skeleton and the witch were running towards my house. I opened the window and shouted: "Come in! Come in!" But there was only the little witch. She was alone. She was crying. "Where are my friends?" she said. I took my hand out of the window to hold the little girl. Suddenly, I heard a voice saying: "You can´t do anything to help her now. She´s mine". And before I could hold her she disappeared too! I've never seen them since then. But every year on Halloween I can hear them laughing and saying "Trick or treat! Trick or treat...! If you don´t give us any candy, you´ll come with us".

1º ESO And the winners are...

Thank you all for sending your stories. It's been very difficult to decide. All your Halloween stories were great and very scary!! I don't know if I will sleep tonight... I'm very frightened right now... Anyway, these are the winning stories. CONGRATULATIONS!!

1º ESO A - ALICIA CORRALIZA CAUSÍN

I stepped up to the door, rang the doorbell, and called out: “Trick or Treat!” “Why this house, Sophie?” “Jade told me we had to come here.” “Oh, great, and we have to obey your stupid doll...” Suddenly, someone opened the door. It was a cute little girl. She was wearing a wet nightgown and she was barefoot. We said again: “Trick or treat!” but she didn’t answer. Then I asked her: “Is your mum inside?” She shook her head and said no. “Can we help you change your clothes? You will get a cold” my sister said. She didn’t answer but she pointed inside. We followed her to a dirty pink bedroom. I saw a picture which attracted my attention: a strange woman with three little girls. The old one was like me when I was younger. “What is your name?” Sophie asked her. “Don’t you remember? I´m Jade!” she answered. “Like my doll!” Sophie said. But Jade told her: “I was your doll…” “I think it would be better if we left this house, Sophie” I recommended. “OK, but first let me help her.” But, suddenly, Jade disappeared. Sophie and I ran as fast as we could to our house. When we arrived there, we told everything to our parents, and they seemed to be hiding something. I went to my bedroom and I searched the address of that house on my laptop. I saw this on Google: “Adelaida Riberson, a desperate mother, drowns her youngest daughter, Jade, in the bath. Fortunately the other two girls were adopted in a good family…”

1º ESO B - LORENA TORRES NÚÑEZ DE PRADO

I stepped up to the door, rang the doorbell, and called out: “Trick or Treat!” No one opened the door. We called again. Nothing. The rest of the group went to another house. I say the rest of the group because I didn´t go with them. Why? Because I saw a mild light into the house. I saw a window and I looked through it. There was a... sheep... and the light was a candle, a red candle. The sheep was eating the red candle! Then, the sheep saw me. Her eyes were red!! Like the candle!! So, I went running to where my group was, and I told them everything. They thought that I was lying. But I wans’t!! When we went back to our houses to sleep, I looked through my room´s window. And what did I see?! There were a lot of sheep ALL OVER the garden!!! With red eyes!! Now, I´m in my wardrobe writing this, because there are sheep in all the city!!! THE SHEEP´S INVASION!!!! The end :)

1º ESO C – ALBERTO CANO FERNÁNDEZ

I stepped up to the door, rang the doorbell, and called out: "Trick or Treat!" The house was dirty, old and not very beautiful. It had small windows, and a wooden and very old door. The house had a small garden around the house with a broken fence. A woman opened the door, she was old, dirty and very ugly. She was strange and had striped clothes. She had a black cat too. She gave us candies and she invited us into her house. Inside, the house was like from the outside: dirty, old and there were spider webs. She said that we had to sit down and we did it. Then she went to a small room with lots of bottles with different colours and sizes. We saw the old woman mixing the liquids of the bottles and she put it in a pot and started cooking. A few minutes later, blue smoke appeared in the house. She gave us the liquid in different glasses. We were ready to drink it when a friend dropped the liquid over an old book. And, suddenly... A huge monster appeared in the living room. The book was magic, and the woman was a witch!!! We were very scared and we went out the door but the witch ran behind us. Luckily, a policeman shot the woman and the monster. But the legend says that the spirit of the witch is in the house killing everyone who says trick or treat. HAPPY HALLOWEEN.

I don't want to fail to mention a very special story within a story by CELIA PRADA GONZÁLEZ from 1º ESO A:

I stepped up to the door, rang the doorbell, and called out, "Trick or Treat!”. No one came, so I pushed the door and it opened by itself. I was frightened; I thought Larry would open the door! Larry is the owner of the library; he's a good old friend of my best friend, Amelia. He’s got long blond hair in a ponytail and light green eyes. We decided to meet there at 12 AM to tell scary Halloween stories in the dark. I walked through the corridor with my vampire costume. It was even darker than other days I went there at night... I arrived to the place we wanted to meet when I heard a sad voice behind me. I turned around, but no one was there. Instead, I saw some red stains on the floor. Finally, after being paralyzed for some minutes, I felt a cold hand on my shoulder. "AAAAHH!!" I screamed. They were Amelia and Larry. And, obviously, they were laughing. "That was not nice, guys!" I said. "We are supposed to scare people on Halloween, aren't we?" Amelia told me. Amelia is short and red haired. Her hair is short and straight. She’s got beautiful yellow eyes. She always wears a yellow shirt with a pink bow as a bow tie. She wears glasses too. This time, she was wearing a black witch costume and a witch hat. Larry was wearing purple clothes and a fake knife. He was also wearing a purple and black cap. He looked like a security guard, but I think he was dressing as a videogame murderer. "I've got everything ready, so let's start!" Larry said. “Amelia, do you have the Halloween candy?” “Of course!” she replied, showing a bag full of candy. We sat on some chairs in a small circle. There was a little lamp in the middle which radiated a weak light. I was bad at telling stories, so I had no stories to tell. Amelia looked like she had a good one. “So… who starts?” I asked. “I have a VERY good one!!” Larry said. He was excited to tell his story. Maybe too excited. “Aww… Alright, go for it” Amelia said. Larry cleared his throat and started:

"ONCE UPON A TIME… There was a beautiful kingdom where everyone was happy. Everyone had money, a home and food to eat. Everyone was kind with each other, and everyone loved both the king and the queen. They had a pretty little daughter. Her hair colour was dark as the brown leaves in autumn and she had her mother’s eyes, grey as the full moon in the night sky. The princess was only 7 years old when a near dark town invaded the kingdom. The king was very busy controlling the guards and the army. At the end, they were too many; and so he decided to join his own people to fight them. The queen helped the residents to hide from the invasion. The little princess was scared to death. She was worried about her dad. What did the invaders want from them? Will her daddy be ok? Her mother realized she was crying, and the queen told her: “There’s still hope, there can always be hope. You just need to search for it, my dear”. A tear fell from the child’s face, as it touched the ground softly, making a flower grow up from the floor. She will never forget those words. 

When everything was over, everyone went out and saw how destroyed the kingdom was. There was blood in every corner, and there were dead bodies everywhere, including the king’s body. Both the queen and her daughter cried for days. They were nicknamed “The crying duet” since that time. The kingdom and its people were cursed with discord for the rest of the eternity since then. But there’s still hope, right? One day in the morning, the queen disappeared. The little princess (now with 9 years) ran all over the castle searching for her mother. She didn’t want to lose her too. The kingdom was a complete mess, and she didn’t want to rule it. Since that small war, everyone was crazy. Murderers, thieves… nobody was kind and generous anymore. The princess finally found her mother in the basement, but she was hanged up the ceiling…with a rope. There was blood all over her body and all over the room. On the wall there was a message, saying “I’M SORRY” and another one on the other wall: “HOPE”. The kid was shocked: how could her mother do that? Why did she do it? No one could help her… All she did was take her mother’s crown and rule the kingdom. Soon, the people knew about the queen’s death, but they didn’t care. 10 years later nothing changed. All the residents were even worse. The people made fires, burned houses… etc. The new queen couldn’t do anything, but all the nights she prayed to the moon for hope. In another town, there was a boy called Bob. He had dark black hair and dark eyes. He didn’t like his town either because it was very violent. He was searching for someone that could understand him and someone to share moments with, so he moved to the kingdom where the queen “ruled”. Bob was exploring the place when he realized it was as bad as the other one. He saw all the crimes that were taking place around him. He just sighted and kept on with his walking. Soon, Bob ended in front of the castle’s gates. One of them was open…that was strange. Bob decided to peek in to see if there was someone, but no one was there. He had a lot of curiosity, so he decided to come in. What he didn’t expect is that upstairs there was the prettiest woman he had ever seen. He didn’t believe how beautiful she was, and he instantly fell in love with the queen. The queen was sitting next to the window. Then she saw Bob standing outside the room; and, scared, they started talking. Soon, they were getting along and discovered that they had the same theories and thoughts. With time, they started being friends, then best friends, and finally boyfriend and girlfriend. Every day they were sharing ideas and stories. The queen thought she knew everything about Bob, but what she didn’t know is that he has a secret. At night he was a psychopath, and he liked to murder kids, adults and elders. Once his victim is dead, he takes his organs out to make sure they’re completely dead. A month later, the queen decided to go for a walk at night. She knew it was dangerous, but the kingdom was very beautiful at night, even though it was more beautiful when she was little. She was walking through the streets when she heard a scream. She gasped and tried to see where it came from. It came from a small and abandoned pub. The windows were broken, so she saw what was happening in there. She couldn’t believe what she was witnessing: Bob, dressed with dark clothes, was killing a person! She saw how he took his organs out. Bob realized his girlfriend was watching him. He tried to explain it, but the queen insulted him, told him she breaks up with him and ran away, crying. Bob’s heart was broken, he started crying too. His sadness and depression immediately turned into rage and anger. He picked up a knife and ran up to her. The queen was now in her castle, close to a statue. Bob yelled while he was running and tried to stab her. He did, but his ex-girlfriend picked up a sharp rock and stabbed him too. Nowadays, the "kingdom" is still cursed. The queen’s spirit is trapped in the statue hoping for this world to be a better place. Under the statue, there are plants and flowers that grew with the queen’s hopes. There is a school where the castle was; and on the fourth or fifth floor, Bob’s spirit is trapped in a room where the blind had 3 red stripes. If you listen closely, you can hear his sad voice. Bob is now known as Bob-in-dark. THE END". 

Larry finished his story. “Well…That was deep. And creepy” Amelia said. “It’s my turn—AAAAH!!” she screamed. She looked like if she has seen a ghost. We turned around and saw... “BOB IN DARK!!!!” we all said.

1º ESO A: Carlos Saralegui Esteve

I stepped up to the door, rang the doorbell, and called out, “Trick or Treat!” A man opened the door. He had black eyes, black clothes, he was all in black. He looked like Dracula .He shouted 'get out of my side'. I felt very angry. I threw a stone to a window and I broke it. Then, the man opened the door and caught me. I started to shout and he kicked and bit me. In this moment everything changed. I started to suffer and I was full of pain.I forgot the next moment, but all days at night I feel hungry, and I need human blood. It was something strange but it seems so real now...

1º ESO B: Arancha López Moneo

I stepped up to the door, rang the doorbell, and called out, “Trick or Treat!” When I opened the door I saw that she was my friend Ana, she was coming to look for me to enjoy of the night of Halloween. The fog was everywhere, it was almost impossible to see the people who had disguised themselves as zombies and witches. When I went out of the house I had a strange sensation, that made me feel shivers on my whole body. When we reached the place there were many people dressed up and all the same. All were zombies! After a few minutes I realized they were all going to the same place, the cemetery. "Ahhh!" , I shouted when I saw a zombie going through my hand and I saw that he was not a neighbour disguised as zombie, but it was a real zombie. I could not believe it, so I went to see another zombie on my side to see if it was a real zombie, and yes it was one more ... Trembling with fear, I went out running of the square, though with the disguise it could not run very fast, a zombie who was behind a bank grabbed me by the arm. "Help!", I shouted with the hope that some of my neighbours could hear me and help. Meanwhile, the zombie was taking me towards the cemetery... but suddenly, I listened to a "Ring, Ring, Ringggg" trick or treat. Everything had been a dream, I had slept on the armchair while it was waiting for my friend to go out and enjoy the night of HALLOWEEN.

1ºESO C: Jorge Nieva García

I stepped up to the door, rang the doorbell, and called out, “Trick or Treat!” An old woman opened the door and gave us a lot of candy! We were so excited about that and then we saw something really weird behind her. We could not believe what we were seeing. It was a ghost! We got really scared and we ran away. When we were far from the house, we stopped and talked about what we had seen. Everybody agreed that it was real and we decided to come back to the house to check again. When we got to the house, the door opened by itself, and the ghost invited us to come in. We did not know what to do but we finally entered. We were very scared because we did not know what was inside the house. We went to a dark room with no lights. We could not see anything and this scared us more. Suddenly, someone turned on the lights and we saw everything. It was a Halloween party! Our friends were the ones who made it because they wanted to scare us! It was scary at the beginning because we did not know anything about it but we had a good time! I will never forget this Halloween!

2º ESO A: Eric Lancina Martínez

It was Halloween night. I looked out the front window at my house and I saw something moving behind a bush. It was a person wearing a Dracula costume. He was very well disguised so I could´t see his face. At ten o´clock I went to sleep. At midnight I got up startled because of a noise downstairs. That night I was alone. I went downstairs and I saw the Dracula costume I returned to my bedroom. I wasn´t frightened. I thought it was my father trying to scare me but when I listened to someone going upstairs saying my name I got really scared. I closed the door with the key and I went near the window. 

Dracula went room by room and he arrived to mine. He started knocking, I went out the bedroom through the window but in that moment Dracula opened the door. I didn´t know what to do. I started to run and I hid in an alley. When I thought I was safe I saw him again very close.

I got up of that nightmare. I got the feeling that it wasn´t a dream. When I went to the bathroom I saw a message written on the mirror: "The dream you had this night will happen". I didn´t give importance but at night my parents went to a party and the story happened.

The following day my parents didn´t see me and they were very scared. They have never seen me again...

2º ESO B: Pablo García de los Ríos

It was Halloween night. I looked out the front window at my house and I saw a shadow, it was the profile of a little girl. First, I thought that she was the neighbour's daughter but she disappeared in the darkness of the path. Then I went to bed worried. At midnight I listened to a strange noise like a cry, a terrible cry. I got up scared. Quickly I looked out the front window again and I saw the same bloody girl. I went out of my house running, but the girl stopped in the path looking to my house but now she said "help me". Then I went to my grandfather's house and I asked my grandfather about the girl. He didn't say anything. I repeated the question and then he said "sit here", and he told me about the story of a girl who died in a tragic accident on the 31st of October at night when she was celebrating Halloween. For this reason the girl returns to her house every 31st of October at night. Then my grandfather looked into my eyes and he said "I have to tell you a secret, your house was her house"...

2º ESO C: Natalia Möller Díez

It was Halloween night. I looked out the front window at my house and I saw a shadow running away. I thought it was a friend of mine. But when I looked at all my friends at home, I saw that all of them were there. I ran behind the shadow and when I was near it , I noticed it was a very little shadow. I tried to catch the shadow and suddenly it jumped on me. It started to lick me and I noticed it was my dog. He ran away with a sheet, because he also wanted to participate on Halloween.

1º BACH A: Pilar Sáenz Camón

I was absent the day of our Halloween party. When I got to school the next day, I noticed that my classroom looked very different… Nobody was there, everything was destroyed… windows, chairs and tables, and I saw a lot of stains of blood.In that moment, the only thing that I was thinking about was going out. I was feeling weird; I ran to the door but it hit me on the face doing an annoying chirp. I tried to open it but when I did it, I felt a troubled breathing next to me. I shouted a lot, the cold was on me and I thought that I was going to have a heart attack!!!

I turned around and rubbed my eyes. I couldn't believe it!! The class was normal!!

I said : “it is only a little lapse, you are so sleepy today!"... haha! what could happen in this class?? The most important thing is to die of boredom.. no more..

My classmates and friends came to the class and the morning was like a normal day. Two hours later I went to the bathroom and I saw on the wall: "help me"

I only laughed and said :"This is part of the Halloween decoration" and I returned to the class. The bell rang and I went out for the break. When I opened the door all of my friends had disappeared. I was worried because the day was not normal.

I went to the café,  it was near the school so I tried to drink a relaxing cup of coffee, but when I got there, no one paid attention to me. I went out and I said "you are rude people, because you don´t listen to the clients" that was happening to me all the time and with all the people that I wanted to talk to. I started to cry and I ran and ran.

When I was quieter, I saw my parents at the snack bar. I found them drinking coffee and very sad, then I approached to talk to them but they didn't pay attention to me and they left… Something really weird was happening, so I decided to follow them ….

We went to a cemetery and my parents sat down near a tomb . I saw the headstone and I couldn't believe it... the name that was there… IT WAS MY NAME AND TODAY´S DATE!!! WAS IT A JOKE?? Regrettably.. NO..

10 years had passed since I opened the class door and I never went out alive, and this happened to all of my classmates and friends.They died on Halloween. 

Since that day , our spirits only live in the class we are not able to go out any more. Nobody knows what happened that day in class but a lot of people tell our story on Halloween in different ways and ends.

I hope that one day the people can discover the truth but,  for now, it is a mystery...

1º BACH B: Carmen Crespo Darriba

Everything was weird,nobody was there,even though I was 5 minutes late. But the strangest thing of all was that the furniture and all the class stuff, all the tables, the chairs, the basket, everything wasn´t on the floor, they were completely glued on the top of the classroom. 

I was extremely shocked, I had to tell someone. So I ran to the closest classroom, which was 2A, but when I opened the door and I looked around the classroom, I saw that everything was as weird as in mine. All the classroom stuff was on the top. And while I was trying to find a logical explanation for everything, the roof started to open and some arms, legs, heads and bodies fell over me! Quickly I realized they were from zombies.

I was really startled and I started to get extremely worried.

I needed someone to help me. I screamed, but no one came. So I went out but everything looked normal.There were people walking and driving like always. Thus, I spoke to an old man who was walking. At first, he thought I was completely insane. But I could convince him to come with me to my classroom.

When we arrived, there weren´t any tables glued to the top or any arms falling down, everything was as normal as usual.

The old man got very annoyed with me and I realized that there weren´t any zombies. The only zombie who was there was me. That´s what Mondays do!

Honorary winner: Jose Alberto Monje del Prado (Joseto, our music teacher in primary school)

It was Halloween night. I looked out the front window at my house and saw a light. It was an instant, but I have the following memory - the sound of my body crashing against something. The rest are just some images in my brain.

The worst was yet to come. When I woke up, I was in an empty room of a hospital. I was surprised, because there were some witted flowers in a vase on my desk, and I knew that nobody entered there for a long time.

I got up slowly. My whole body hurt, especially the legs. I left my room and saw that in the hallway there was nobody. I called the elevator, but the buttons didn´t work. I went down the stairs. When I arrived at the hospital reception, everything was destroyed, there were many papers on the ground... and I was horrified because there were traces of blood.

I began to look for some clothing in the hospital closets. When I got dressed, I left the hospital. The city was very rare. The cars were not running around, even some of them were abandoned. I decided to walk toward my house, but on the way I began to hear a strange noise. When I looked back, I saw a “flock” of zombies behind me. They were trying to catch me.

I started running, but I fell to the ground. My body still hurt me a lot. One of the zombies rushed towards me. As I could, with my left hand I held its head while, with the other hand, I was looking for something to hit him with. Finally, I found a stone and I hit its head. Some of its blood spilled on me. I was standing, and suffering the pain, I tried to walk as fast as I could, sometimes running, sometimes walking.

When I was arriving at my house, I saw all the doors and windows closed with pieces of wood. There was blood on the wall saying “GO BACK!” and some dead bodies in the garden. I could not stand up any more and I fell on my knees to the ground and I began to cry.

Suddenly someone or something grabbed my neck. I felt a great bite on my neck. Then I screamed closing my eyes. But when I opened them, I was again in the hospital room. The flowers on my desk were not blighted, and there was someone next to me who told me:

"Quiet, honey, you've had a nightmare".

And the winners are...

Judith Chicharro Sanz. 1º ESO A 

It was a cold Halloween night when I saw a haunted house .The house was very awful. In the house lived four ghosts and one witch. The witch told me: 'come here', and I came in. The witch put me in a jar and she put her black cat around me. The ghosts came to the jar and said to me: 'you can't escape', and I fainted. 

When I woke up I saw a little black cat in front of me. The witch put me in a very big candle and to turn me into a WAX STATUE. The people said if you come to the hunted house... YOU TURN INTO A WAX STATUE and you torment the rest of the people... HELP ME PLEASE !!! I'm a WAX STATUE ... 

THE END...I think so but...the history doesn't finish here...

It was a cold Halloween night when I saw an old cemetery. There were many open tombs. I was scared because in the holes of the open tombs there were dead people. I walked around the cemetery to investigate this strange place but, suddenly, I heard a noise and I ran to it. I saw something that moved in the hole of one tomb and zombies began to go out of all the tombs. They were green frightening creatures, dressed with old clothes and full of blood. I ran to the forest next to the cemetery but the zombies ran behind me. I arrived at a mysterious mansion, I entered in it and I closed the door behind me. I was in an old room; there were a lot of pictures and strange statues. Then, I heard the zombies outside and when I thought that the zombies were going to kill me, I woke up. Everything had been a terrible dream of a scary Halloween’s night!

It was a cold Halloween night when I saw a boy going to a party where he meet a lovely girl. He asked her to dance, the girl accepted, and they continued dancing and talking all night long. The party was almost over so they decided to go home. When they went outside they realized that it was really late, the girl dind`t have a jacket. So the boy lent her his jacket. The next the day the boy went to the girl's house. He rang at the door. The old man told that his daughter died one year ago. And the boy didn´t belive it. So he went to the tomb where he found his jacket...

If I could be whatever I want I would like to be an invisible man. It would be great, because you could do anything you have ever imagined: you could have a really interesting job, a spy, because nobody could see you; you could slip in many places, like football stadiums... but the best part is that you could do as many jokes as you want.

I think I would be a terrifying and bloody clown, I guess like a clown and a zombie together because I like the mix, I would be a "clownbie", why not? I would scare a lot of people around the world. The first place that I would go would be my house to scare my sister because it would be very funny! That would be great! I think I would live on the moon and on every 31st of October I would scare thousands of people!

I would like to be Marilyn Monroe Zombie, because I want to teach how to act in the scene. I would be dead so a lot of people would be scared, but it's Halloween so some people would think that it's a costume. I would go to Madrid because is the capital of Spain and there I would go to Gran Vía because there are a lot of musicals and I would act in my last performance, which I couldn't do before because I was dead.

Hi, today I'm here to write the best story of Halloween ever. 

On 31st of October 2010 I was thinking what I could wear to make the scariest costume. I thought about a skeleton, that's scary but not enough; or a zombie, but this is very common so I surfed on the internet and I found a really great idea... So I decided to make this but it was very complicated and I spent a lot of time... but the result was really awesome. My costume was an Old Woman Witch. Then, some friends went to Tato’s house and when we were watching a terror film, we started to hear strange noises. We thought that it was Tato’s dog but then Tato called her dog and it stayed with us watching the film but the strange noises continued louder and louder near the window. I looked at the window and I saw a strange figure that moved to the other side but I thought that it was just my imagination. But five minutes later, Maria said that she had seen something like that. We thought that it was only a shadow of the street. The strange noises continued and we decided to find what was making that. We came out to the terrace but there wasn’t anything so we continued searching for it and when we were going to the kitchen we saw it. It was a tall black figure like a man. We stayed in silence and when this thing was starting to say something I didn’t understand, Tato’s parents came and the strange figure vanished. We’ll never know what the strange figure was…

My best Halloween dates from 1823. I remember it very well, because it happened something really horrific. 

I was in London, it was cold and foggy, I was going to a party, a costume party, but this party turned into a nightmare party. When I arrived everything was going very good, the people were very happy, dancing and joking, but a strange noise came from the street and we went out to see what happened. In the street there was a man on the floor, without his head, full of blood and the innards out of his body. We were shocked and we tried to call the police, but the police was in another town, because some people were fighting, and they had to go there. We were alone. Sam, who was very brave went next to the man, took him and threw him into the river Thames, it was the worst mistake in his life. We tried to continue with the party, but it was impossible, of course. Sam was very strange, he was cold, and with high fever. Tim, his best friend, went near him, but Sam attacked Tim one time, and other time, and another, and another until Sam killed Tim. And then he attacked all the people, and they became like Sam. It was because the strange dead man was a zombie, and he infected Sam, and Sam infected all the people. I was in danger and I ran all I could, but it wasn't enough. They caught me, but a man frightened them away. He was a zombie-haunter, and my salvation. He took me away, to a safe place, and he gave me a shotgun, he told me that the zombies will be there in a few minutes, and we had to fight. The zombies arrived and we started to shot them and kill them, until the man without head arrived. He was a superzombie, and we couldn't kill him because he was immortal. First he killed the zombie-haunter and then............. 

BOOOM!!! I woke up and went to school. It was only a dream. A bad dream.
