A Halloween Story

By Domino Zee.Blog

Halloween is a night of costumes, candy, and chills—but it’s also the one night where every cliché, every whispered myth, and every ghost story comes alive. This isn’t just a tale about trick-or-treating. It’s a story about what happens when the veil between the living and the dead grows too thin.

The Dare on Elm Street

Every town has that house. The one no one dares to enter. Ours was the rotting mansion at the end of Elm Street, guarded by rusted gates and glowing jack-o’-lanterns whose flames never seemed to die.

They said a witch once lived there—and still did.

That Halloween night, I was dared to step inside. My friends stayed behind, whispering their warnings:

• Don’t blow out the pumpkins.
• Don’t look the black cat in the eye.
• Don’t say her name in the mirror.

But of course, I did.

The Mirror That Spoke Back

Inside, the air was stale, thick with smoke and dust. A cracked hallway mirror caught my reflection. I swallowed hard and whispered the name three times:

Bloody Mary. Bloody Mary. Bloody Mary.

The glass trembled. Then a pale face pressed against it—hers, not mine. Empty eyes. A grin too wide. Her lips moved, though no sound came.

I stumbled back, knocking over a candle. The flame died.

That’s when the pumpkins began to laugh.

When Halloween Masks Stop Pretending

The house shook with a howl, deep and mournful. I bolted outside, praying to see my friends. But the street was no longer safe.

The trick-or-treaters weren’t children anymore. The vampire’s teeth gleamed sharp, wet with blood. The mummy’s bandages writhed like snakes. Even the ghost floated forward, its sheet fused to something skeletal beneath.

Their masks had become their faces.

The church bell tolled midnight.

The Final Revelation

At the center of the street sat a black cat, its eyes glowing like embers. Behind it, the Headless Horseman rode in silence, his flaming pumpkin head casting shadows that swallowed the houses whole.

I turned to run, but the haunted house loomed larger than before, its door gaping like a mouth waiting to devour me.

And in that moment, I realized the truth.

Halloween wasn’t a night for candy. It was a ritual. A trap.

One night a year, the myths awaken—feeding on anyone foolish enough to test them.

The pumpkins laughed louder. The horseman raised his blade.

And in the window of that cursed house, the mirror grinned back at me.

Why We Love Halloween Myths 🎃

This story may be fiction, but the fear it stirs is very real. Every cliché—witches on broomsticks, black cats, jack-o’-lanterns, haunted houses, Bloody Mary, and the Headless Horseman—lives on because we want to believe.

Halloween is the one night when the world lets itself be haunted. When we lean into the myths, embrace the fear, and remember that maybe—just maybe—they’re more than stories.

So when the candles flicker this October 31st, ask yourself: are you sure it’s just the wind?

Happy Halloween… if you survive it. 👻
