But here's an HORROR"S D'OEUVRE before THE MAIN CORPSE! A TERRIFYING-MORSEL for...
It was back in May of 1959, out, in Portland, Oregon, that four teenagers walked down a sidewalk together one morning. They got to a school with a sign outside of it that read: "PORTLAND HIGH SCHOOL" on it. "So, did Valerie want to be your date for the Prom, Chester?" one of the teenagers asked another one. "Yeah she did Will" Chester replied to him, smiling. "That's good" Will remarked. "I'm taking Ellen" Will said. "That's good" Chester replied. "You guys are lucky" a third teenager said to them. "Gee, thanks, Merv" they replied to him, as they walked into Portland High School. "Yeah, Merv's right, you guys are" the fourth teenager said to Chester and Will. "Thanks, Doug" they replied to him. Will, Chester, Merv and Doug walked to a locker and three bullies approached them. "Hey, fellas, forget about Prom. What girls would go with you losers!" one of the bullies said to Will, Chester, Merv and Doug, meanly. The other two bullies laughed. "Cut it out please, Andy" Doug replied to the first bully. "Shut up Doug or I'll make ya shut up!" Andy threatened him. Doug, Will, Merv and Chester walked off quickly. Later on that afternoon, Chester, Merv, Will and Doug were all sitting in a classroom together. They were writing on pieces of paper along with the rest of the class.
One of the teenage girls in the classroom, coughed suddenly and then again and again, over and over. "Why, don't you go get a drink of water Susan. I hope you're alright" the teacher said to her. "Thank you, Mr. Shamerick sir" Susan replied to him and walked out of the classroom then. Susan continued to cough and walked over to a water-fountain in the hallway. She got a drink of water from it and then the skin on her neck began to crack eerily. Susan ran around the corner, hiding her eyes with her hand. As she stood covering her eyes with her hand, Andy and the two other bullies walked passed the corner. The bullies stopped at the water fountain. "I got the stuff Andy" one of the other bullies said to him. "Good Bruce. We're gonna sure surprise these freaks at the Prom" he replied to him. "Yeah, fellas we will" the third bully said to them. "Yeah, you know what to do, Larry" Andy said to him. "Set fire to the place Andy" Larry said to him. Andy, Bruce and Larry walked away together. Meanwhile, Susan took her hand away from her eyes, revealing that they had turned pupil less and solid black. Later, Doug, Will, Chester and Merv walked away from Portland High School together, when two teenage girls caught up to them then. "Hi Will honey" one teenage girl said to him, smiling. "Oh, hi Ellen sweetheart" he replied to her, smiling back. Will put his arm around Ellen. "Hey, Chester dear" the other teenage girl said to him with a smile. "Hello Valerie sweetheart" Chester replied to her with a grin. Chester put his arm around Valerie then. As Will, Ellen, Chester, Valerie, Doug and Merv walked down the sidewalk together, the bullies walked out from behind a tree and stopped them, suddenly.
"Afternoon losers. You ladies would probably rather go to Prom with Larry and I than these babies" Andy said to Will, Chester, Merv and Doug, and than to Ellen and Valerie. "No thank you, Andy" Valerie and Ellen replied to him. "Oh, that's just plain dumb ladies. And by the way, since we're not on school property anymore, here's for this morning" Andy replied to them, and then said to the teenage boys. He punched Will in the face quickly, Larry punched Doug in his face, and Bruce hit Chester in his stomach and punched Merv in the side of the face. They all fell to the ground, gasping in pain, causing the girls to gasp in fright. Andy, Bruce and Larry took off. Ellen and Valerie helped Will and Chester to their feet, and then Valerie also helped Merv to his feet. Doug grabbed somebody's hand and got to his feet. It was Susan's hand. Her eyes were back to normal again. "Oh thank you Susan!!" Doug said to her with a smile. She smiled shyly and walked away then. Chester gasped for air, holding his stomach and coughed then, bending over. Valerie hugged him. On Prom Night, Chester, Valerie, Will and Ellen walked to Portland High School together. Doug and Merv were walking together a few feet behind them. Meanwhile, the bullies were behind the tree where they had been at the day they hurt Doug, Will, Chester and Merv. Andy, Larry and Bruce secretly drank bottles of gin together.
Will, Ellen, Chester, Valerie, Doug and Merv walked into the gymnasium of the school and a record of "Hound Dog" By Elvis Presley played on a record-player. As teenagers danced, Merv and Doug started dancing too. "Let's boogie Doug!" Merv said to him. "Yeah let's rock 'n roll, Merv buddy!" Doug replied to him. Susan was wearing a pink gown, walking into the gymnasium, with her blond hair straight and long. He skin was pale-white as she walked to a punch bowl. Meanwhile, the bullies finished drinking their bottles of gin and threw the bottles onto the sidewalk, smashing them. Andy, Bruce and Larry walked into the school and peeked into the gymnasium. Susan saw them walk into the gymnasium and run passed her. A record of "Everyday" By Buddy Holly started playing on the record player. The bullies ran to a corner of the gym and each took out a lighter from their pockets. Susan ran over close by them and watched the trio. She coughed suddenly over and over again. Larry, Bruce and Andy lit curtains of windows on fire suddenly, causing people to scream. Susan covered her eyes with her hand again and then took it away from them, revealing they once again had become pupil less and solid black. Giant fly-like wings burst out of the back of her pink gown, and she grew long, white fangs then. Susan was a bug-like monster and she hissed at the bullies, attacking Bruce quickly, digging the long, white claws she now had on her fingertips, into his face. Bruce screamed in the shadows and Susan bit him in the side of his face. Her huge, fly-like wings fluttered about, hitting the flaming curtains, and putting out the fires.
The bug-like monster that was Susan dropped the shadowy-corpse of Bruce on the floor facedown in the light. “Bruce!!!” Larry and Andy said in shock and the creature attacked Andy suddenly. It bit the bully in his face within the shadows, as a few teenagers ran. She dropped Andy’s dead body facedown on the floor in the light as well. Larry ran out of the gym and the thing chased him, its fly-like wings fluttering about quickly. The bully ran through the hallway and the bug-like monster hissed at him, reaching out and clutching Larry by his neck. Doug, Merv, Chester, Will, Ellen and Valerie all stood behind her, as they heard sounds of eating and hissing. The thing dropped Larry's dead body facedown within the shadows of the hall and ran down another hallway. Susan walked back out of the other hall, looking normal again and smiled at Doug, Merv, Ellen, Valerie, Chester and Will. They sighed in relief and smiled back at her.
Looks like the bullies got Susan ALL FIRED UP eh, kiddies? She was sort of a SHY TEENAGE GHOUL, but SLAY-VED the Prom heh-heh-heh-heh. She looked GORE-GEOUS and ended up WINGING IT ON THE FLY eh? Hee-Hee!
