Below you can see some examples of scary Halloween stories that the students wrote.
1ST PRIZE went to CARLO & TOMOKO – intermediate class
It was October the 31st, 3 years after that tragic event. Teachers were organising a party, but many students were still frightened…
On the same day, in the same school, a child committed suicide. His schoolmates bullied him and he felt miserable because none of the teachers even helped him. He committed suicide by hanging himself in the Theatre room. After that, every year, he chose his victim, on Halloween night, to take his revenge.
During the party, he looks at a student who has been bullying other students, he chases him, and in the shadow of the night, he kills him.
Next morning, everybody can see a body dangling from the ceiling of the Theatre room.
Maybe it’s just a coincidence, but the name of that boy, so shy, so alone, was Nick. Exactly 3 years ago a person became a teacher in that school…
His name is Nick.
KORAY – upper intermediate class
Obviously, you expect me to write an account about Halloween. Unfortunately I disappointed all you. Actually highly no-one believes in spirits of the dead rising their graves. This doesn’t make sense, even though everyone pretend to believe in and celebrate it.
Do you ever think why it’s considered that spirits of the dead to be alive? We have to stop and think in that point which takes us to business world. In fact this is really really business. If trying to find the reasons underlying such special days as mother’s day, father’s day, lover’s day and so on. You meet all time same thing that is a commercial purposes. Market economy encourages and urges you spending much more money on the date than usual. The demand grew good sold which work years of the economy in the world. Aim is to have been consumed much more and make the markets movements. So actually Halloween is a product that the minority produces in their minds.
CATALINA AND NIHAN – advanced class
On Halloween night everyone was ready to celebrate the Pagan New Year. All the students were excited for the party. Most of them met in front of the tube station to go to the party together. They took the central Line towards the party. They were talking on the train about their fancy dress and make up, they were making jokes to each other.
And suddenly the train stopped on one of London’s abandoned underground stations. All the passengers in the train were shocked, because the train never stopped on that station. They were all waiting for an announcement. They thought it was a Halloween trick but there was no announcement, nothing… so they started to feel terrified, some of them tried to open windows and some others started to use emergency buttons to open the doors but unfortunately they couldn’t manage it.
One of the girls dressed as a witch yelled about a black cat on the station and then everyone looked at the station and they saw many black cats coming towards them. All the people were watching the cats and waiting fearfully. The cats started to jump on the train. They were scratching the windows, making strange noises, yowling and crawling towards the top of the train.
Everyone was terrified, they were trying to call for help on their mobiles but unfortunately there was no network, no internet down the station.
Suddenly a boy saw 2 Underground workers at the station and he showed them to the others. They all felt relief and relaxed. But when the workers came closer to the train the passengers noticed that they weren’t alive: they were zombies. Everyone was in shock, some of the people were crying, screaming. There was absolute chaos in the train.
They heard an engine start. They were trying to understand what was going on… the train started to move into the tunnel slowly and no-one ever heard of the train and its passengers again.
All we know about them was what was on the security cameras until they left the station.
