To celebrate the forethcoming Halloween a new challenge has been issued. As with all other challenges this is open to everybody, regular contributors and wanderers off the street alike, so long as your story, art work or video conforms to the usual guidelines and reaches me at ralst31@gmail.com on or before 30th October this year.

Any Halloween themed story will be accepted; scary, funny, romantic, bizarre, the choice is yours, but to help you along Del Robertson and I have come up with a few challenge suggestions.

Challenges

Begin with the line "It was a dark and stormy night" and see what sort of story you can come up with.

Urban legends - The one that readily comes to mind is the one about the hook left in the car door - very CSI.

A character returns from the dead.

Witches really do come out to play on Halloween - BtVS or Charmed maybe?

Halloween brings out the crazies and they all end up in the emergency room of Chicago General / Seattle Grace / Hospital Central.

Scary movies marathons and an excuse to sit really close.

Trick or treat turns deadly.

Haunted house / space station / space ship / gateroom / hospital / precinct / prison / court / jar of marmite.
