"I bid you hello! I'm Mystrella, your webby hostess, and I'm here to show you around the monster fair. The gates are open, and there are tricks and treats to be found at every turn. So stick with me, and you're sure to find a thrill."

Mystrella: Now, here's a dear friend of mine. Pumpkin's always happy to show people around her neighborhood. If you're looking to check out a few bone chilling addresses, take a trip to Halloween Town. You won't be sorry you did, if you make it back that is."

Great Pumpkin: Well me lovelies, I hear yeh wish ta court some monsters. Being the season of scare, I'm cookin' up a twist, servin' yeh the inside scoop. Grab yer wits and come on a trip inta me neighborhood. La ti da!

Mystrella: Ah, it's Ferry Blackwell. He's sure to be stirring up trouble. Let's stop in to see what's cooking.

Ferry Blackwell: Mistress Mystrella! A delicious sight! Come, dine with me tonight. I've some little candies that'll make you shudder, a pinch of this and a tad of butter. No? Too shy? Such a pity. If your friends have the time, I've a story that's witty.

Mystrella: Watch out! I see the gypsy, Eldrich. Keep your heads, and be careful what you wish for.

Eldrich: Hello dearies. So nice to see you, and you're just in time for the Faerie Market. You'll need a banana and your imagination to proceed. If you're lacking, I can provide, at a price of course! Now gaze into my crystal ball and transport yourself into the magic.

Mystrella: I've had a frightfully good time showing you around the monster fair, and if we've entertained you at all, please share the fun with a friend. :)

    The Halloween story that used to scare me the most when I was young was the headless horseman story. That one terrified me. Autumn nights still make me a little nervous. Thanks for the chance.

    I really don't have an uber scary pick either. I am reading 13 DAYS OF MIDNIGHT by Leo Hunt right now though and it's pretty chill inducing! I adore books but they don't scare me like that. :)

    I have waited and waited for this book. I would be thrilled to win a copy. I LOVED your brilliant tour today.

    The scariest story to me (so far) has been either The Shining or It. The Heart-Shaped Box is also incredibly creepy.
