The Spooky
Movie
It all started
with just fun and games and watching a good movie. J.C. decided he wanted to
rent a movie, OK, said Kelsey and Victoria but no scary ones. J.C. just
laughed. Oh yeah, he thought. The scariest one I can find.
They waited in
the car with Mom for J.C. to pick out a good movie, he was really excited,
it was best the girls didn’t come in and see what he was getting. Little
did J.C. know this movie would also scare him. The movie was called Spook
Night, it was about a ghost that came back to hunt all the children, it only
hunted children. Now we all know there is no such thing as ghost that hunt
children and this is just a story to scare you, in pretend land.
They all put
their PJ’s on and Mom popped popcorn for them and left the room, she had
seen the movie and was smiling, she knew how it ended but she had plans of
her own for J.C. for trying to scare the girls. She called Kelsey in the
kitchen and told her about the movie and her plans, and then called Victoria
and so they were ready. J.C. started the movie and then he told the girls he
would be right back, he went to set stuff up to scare the girls, his
buddies, Zack and Andy were supposed to be in the tree outside and were
going to scratch the windows and make howling sounds. The phone rang, Zack
and Andy couldn’t come out so he had to think of something else but all of
a sudden he heard a banging noise in the basement and he thought it was Mom,
he called and there was no answer, he slowly walked back in the living and
there was Mom, "did you hear a noise", he asked? "No"
she said and turned back around to go into the kitchen to do dishes. Every
time something scary happen in the movie he would hear a noise and he was
beginning to get a little scared him self. He walked back into the living
room and then during the movie he heard it, the scratching on the windows
and the howling noise, "did you girls hear that?" , he said.
"No, what was it?" they asked..."OH, nothing" he said
and sat back down. He didn’t want the girls to know he was scared, then it
started again and he heard his name, Jason, Jason, then he really got a
little more scared. " Did you hear that?" he said again,
"no" the girls said, "sit down and watch the movie".
JC said, " OK, I’ll be right back", he went to the phone,
" Hello Mrs. King, is Zack home " ? She said, " yes J.C.,
he’s already in the bed." " Oh, ok" he said,
then he called Mrs. Cline, " is Andy there?" he asked, "Yes
but he’s busy right now can you call him back ?" "
Ok" he said and hung up. Now he was getting even more scared. He went
back into the living room, "Girls" he said " lets do
something else and not watch this, it's to scary for you two."
They laughed and said " J.C. we aren’t scared, we like it". Then
he heard the banging again in the basement and the scratching and the
howling...he ran to find Mom and Dad and they were no where in site, he
started yelling for them and then Mom came in the house and Dad came up from
the basement and they were laughing so hard and the girls came out of the
living room and they giggled so hard. J.C. ‘s face got all red, "This
isn’t funny" he said. "Well it was funny when you were going to
scare us wasn’t it?" the girls said. J.C. hugged his sister and
his cousin and said " you girls are okay, but promise you won’t tell
Andy and Zack", and they all laughed. " Lets not watch that movie
lets just go play some good things that don’t have ghost and things like
that in it" . The girls winked at each other, " if you promise
J.C. you won’t try to scare us any more we won’t tell the other
boys," " OK" he said, " I won’t" and he
turned and there was a sneaky little gleam in his eye.
