Scary StoriesIt used to be that telling a good ghost story to children would elicit screams of horror and a week's worth of nightmares. Now that urban legends have been made into movies, it's getting harder and harder to give a really good fright. And isn't that what Halloween is all about? If you want to give a good scare, it's all in how you tell it. A low, whispering voice. Anticipatory pauses. And the extended silence at the end of your story to give the children a moment to think about the consequences of not following the warning the scary tale provides. Here are some scary stories to tell in the dark: Halloween Scary Stories and Ghost Tales10 Pound Chocolate BarThese children go trick or treating and get lucky
