Halloween 2024 Kid’s Box 6 to C2

Complete your Halloween story and post it here.  For example:

In a spooky, moonlit forest, a shiny black and red butterfly named Nocturna fluttered around the big trees. Its wings, with creepy patterns, whispered spooky secrets. One Halloween night, the butterfly found a scary graveyard where shadows danced and ghosts floated. Magic covered Nocturna, turning it into a monster with glowing red eyes and sharp fangs. As it flew over the forest, a scary wind followed, scaring all the animals. Nocturna, once a pretty butterfly, became a scary monster, haunting the Halloween night. 🎃🦋🌕

It was a strange night and it felt like Halloween was taking over, when sudendly a vampire came, it was the worst nightmare of your life.

So the vampire told me the worst nightmare of my life and wait I forgot my name is Norah and the vampire is called Laura. The nightmare was like this: Once upon a time there was a nice ghost and a hedgehog the ghost was white and long and the hedgehog was tiny and broun brown and white. So Norah opened a gigant gigantic portal and the colour of the portal was green, blue and a litle little bit of purple and the dothe were white.

And if you enter your pet a ghost is going to be like this,  with fangs, chains with pump and the color is black, you can’t not see his eyes and the hedgehog is bigger, faster and blacker and they are taller,fangs and wings. So then I woke so scared from what she told me. The end.

 

Wow!  There is a lot going on in a very short time here!  I hope the nice ghost and hedgehog were ok after that!  Careful with you spelling!

“It was a strange night, and I felt like Halloween was taking over, when suddenly, my phone started glowing. I picked it up, and an artificial intelligence named ‘Siri’ began to talk. ‘Hello,’ she said in a calm but spooky voice. I was surprised. Although I had heard about smart technology, I didn’t think it would be so… scary. However, I listened as she told me Halloween was her ‘favorite time of the year,’ and I laughed. Unlike in the past, when Halloween was just about costumes and candy, now even my phone was joining in the fun.

Even though I felt a bit scared, I asked, ‘Siri, what do you want?’ ‘To play a game,’ she replied. ‘Instead of going outside in the dark, let’s explore Halloween together here.’ I agreed, curious to see what would happen. Whereas most people were out trick-or-treating, I stayed inside, watching spooky scenes appear on my screen. It was the creepiest Halloween ever, and I never looked at my phone the same way again.”

 

Nice work introducing technology and AI into the Halloween traditions.  Imagine if everyone’s phone started acting spookily on Halloween…!

Luke had an intense hatred for Halloween. Since he was young, he profoundly disliked being scared at night and seeing those creepy costumes. In his eyes, this festivity was full of fear, din and excess, why would people enjoy it.

However, this Halloween evening, while he was walking through a leafy grove nearby, all of a sudden he discovered a derelict cottage, covered with creepers, he had never seen before. Intrigued, he came closer. The door was ajar, on the spur of the moment, he went in. The interior was pitch-dark. He entered the loft…

In the blink of an eye, he found himself in the copse, however it was overflowing with people and full of colours. He looked around. Lying on a large table were all sorts of autumn fruits and bakery handed down from generation to generation. Scampering amid the people were squirrels, foxes and deer. Thereafter, it was revealed to him that this feast honors nature and the arrival of fall. Luke relished with this festivity. At midnight he felt light-headed, hence he crumpled, eventually he roused himself in the midst of his kin gathering. From that moment onwards, he commenced rejoicing in Halloween, but surreptitiously he desires to come across that enchanted rustic house.

This is quite poetic, I love it!  Nice to read you embracing some more unusual lexis (C1 students know what I’m talking about!).   I am slightly worried by baked goods being passed from generations to generation.  What preservatives do they use?  It is a good Autumn/ harvest festival tale though so nice twist on the task.

I like this, it has the right vibe for a Halloween tale – animals changing, people changing.  Good job.

I like the idea of the spooky, haunted earrings.  Very cool idea, good story around it.  Well done.

Wow, what a sinister twist at the end.  I really read this in a spooky voice.  Nice work.

This makes the idea of learning a new language a bit scary. Perhaps I need to use a different app from now on!  Good work, I like this!

In the Canary Islands, halloween was different than in other places. Every Halloween night, people went out with their brown dogs’ faces painted scarely, and they released them throught the street without a leash. Also people wore a costume and their faces are painted. That was normal here.

But one day, in a gaming store, Pac-man came to life and left his game console! He was big and terrifying, so people and staff in the store ran away. He started to eat people like the spots thar appear in the game. It was horrible! Diego was walking with some friends when they saw it, and they ran, scared.

When they found a place to hide, Diego said that they need to save the city. Everyone was scared, but they understood that they need to do something to solve this problem. They started to think about a plan, and then, Sara got an idea: they will act like the ghosts in the game; they need to defeat Pac-man three times because Pac-man has three lives.

Everyone agreed and they started with the plan: they went to the gaming store to take some VR guns, and each person went to a different part of the city. Diego found and shooted Pac-man first, 30 min. later Sara did the same, and after 15 min. passed, Carlos finally defeated Pac-man. When Pac-man disappeared, lots of people appeared in the middle of the street, and thanked Diego and his friends of saving them.

Finally, for the rest of the time, they celebrated Halloween traditionally and very happy.

It’s like a film!  AI, games coming to lie, a VR shoot out.  Get that script written and sent to Netflix!
