THE HORROR OF GRISWALD INSANE ASYLUM

A WORM-WELCOME to my CASTLE for ICKY-ISSUE 91 OF CREEPS CASTLE, BOILS AND GHOULS! It is I, your MAGGOT-MAGICIAN, CREEPS, once again! Hee-Hee, this FIRST-FESTERING-FABLE OF FEAR, is about a group of kids who have to endure...
Back in 1953, four kids were walking down a sidewalk together, over in a neighborhood, in southern-Indiana one night. Two were boys, and the two others were girls. "Come on, guys, we're almost home. Dracula was sure scary in the theatre, eh, Janet?" one girl said to them and then asked the other girl. "Yes it was Margaret. I kept closing my eyes" Janet replied to her, smiling. "Ah, you girls always close your eyes at anything scary Janet. Right Harry?" one of the boys said to her, then asked the other boy. "Yeah girls sure do, Clyde" Harry responded to him, agreeing. Janet and Margaret both rolled their eyes. At the one end of the neighborhood, three teenage bullies sat in a truck together, parked by the end of the sidewalk. They drank bottles of Jack Daniel's Whiskey and Clyde, Harry, Margaret and Janet walked to the truck. "Look at you four-eyed-freaks, hanging out with those sissies!" one of the bullies said to the boys. "Hey, Deke, knock it off please" Harry replied to him. "Shut up Harry ya little weasel" Deke shouted meanly. "Hey, you guys should know that it is illegal to drink under age 21" Margaret told Deke and the two other bullies. "Oh, yeah, we'll kill ya if you tell our Folks ya sissy!" Deke told her, threatening. The kids ran passed the truck and Deke drove after them then.
As they ran out of the neighborhood, Janet looked back and saw the bullies were getting closer in the truck. Clyde, Harry, Margaret and Janet all made it to a field where there was an abandoned building within it. A sign next to it read: "GRISWALD INSANE ASYLUM EST. 1900" in capital-letters of white on it. The kids ran into the doorway of the asylum, as Deke pulled up, in front of it. Harry and Clyde ran into one of the rooms in the hallway and Harry latched the door, and Janet and Margaret ran into another room across from there and Janet latched that door. Deke and the two other bullies hurried into Griswald Insane Asylum, and walked down the hall. Deke got a pistol out of his jacket-pocket and took a swig from his bottle of Jack Daniel's Whiskey. Meanwhile, there were boney-hands coming up, out of the ground within the field, and as a hole formed, raspy-breathing was heard. A zombie who was also a skeleton crawled up, out of the hole, wearing dark-rags, having a piece of rotted-skin still covering its nose-hole and another piece of skin also covering his rotting mouth. The living dead zombie stood up with a sickening-sound of bones cracking. The zombie walked away from the grave slowly and was the one who was doing the raspy-breathing. Another zombie who was also a skeleton, climbed out of another hole within the field, dressed in black rags. Its boney-mouth was disfigured and long, along with its eye sockets. It got to its dead-feet with dirt falling from it, causing sickening-sounds of cracking-bones to be heard.
"Ed, go check all the rooms on the left side of the hallway" Deke said to the one of the other bullies. "Ok Deke" Ed replied and pulled a pistol out of his jacket-pocket. "Percy check the room on the right side of the hall. I'll check this other hallway" Deke said to the third bully. "Alright, Deke" Percy said to him. Ed walked into a room and Percy walked into another one, while Deke made his way down the end of the hallway. As Ed aimed his gun around the room, he walked over to a window. Suddenly, the skeleton with the pieces of rotting-skin covering his nose-hole and mouth, smashed his skeletal-hand through the window and grabbed Ed by the collar of his jacket, causing him to scream in surprise. As the teenage bully struggled, the living-dead zombie grabbed his gun from him, and shot Ed in the back within the shadows, killing him instantly. The skeleton dropped Ed's dead body. The other zombie-skeleton approached the first zombie and it turned around, seeing him. "Sam Miller we meet again. You, Ace Lynderman and I never got to kill anyone because the cops caught us and we were sent to this asylum. But now, that you and I are zombies, can search for brand new victims to kill" the zombie by the broken-window said to the other zombie, in a raspy-voice. "Ah, yes, George Valance we are living dead zombies indeed. But it is I who will catch victims instead of you sir" the zombie of Sam Miller explained to the first zombie, in an eerie distorted-voice. The zombie of George Valance shot the living-dead skeleton of Sam Miller in the forehead of his rotting skull, causing Sam Miller to gasp and fall down. The zombie of George Valance slowly walked away then.
Deke ran into the room where Ed had gone into and aimed his pistol all around. He went over to the broken-window and looked down. "ED! WHAT THE HECK MAN?!?" he shouted, surprised and backed away. Deke looked outside and saw the zombified-skeleton of Sam Miller get to his feet, his bones cracking away. Sam walked off slowly with a bullet-wound in the forehead of his deformed-skull. Deke trembled wide-eyed and ran out of the room then. He saw the living dead George Valance slowly coming down the hallway, hearing the zombie's raspy-breathing. Deke aimed his pistol at George Valance, and shot at him, but the zombie stepped closer, pointing Ed's pistol at the bully. Deke ran back into the room, backing up within the darkness. The skeletal-hand of Sam Miller gripped the top of Deke's head from behind, making him gasp in fear, and pulled him back to his rotting-bones. As the zombie and bully stood in the moonlight, shining through the smashed-window, Sam laughed in his distorted voice. He plunged a hypodermic-needle into the mouth of Deke's shadowy figure, pulling him back into the shadows with him. The sounds of Deke choking were heard and then the shadowy-silhouette of his dead body fell forward into the moonlight, landing on top of Ed's dead body. George Valance walked into the room and pulled the cord of a hanging lightbulb, turning it on. The zombie of George shot the zombie of Sam Miller within his disfigured long eye-socket, causing Sam to fall to the floor backwards. But he got up, grabbed a scalpel from on a table and stabbed George with it in his eye-socket. The zombie of George Valance screamed in pain in his raspy voice, pulling the scalpel out of his eye socket. He fired Ed's gun at Sam, but the gun was empty. The skeleton dropped it and swung the scalpel at Sam's skull. The zombie ducked and tackled George to the floor then. The zombified-skeleton of George Valance clutched Sam's skull and as the zombie of Sam screamed in his distorted voice, George pulled Sam's skull clear off of his zombified-skeletal-body. Sam's headless body fell completely on top of George Valance and Sam became silent.
Clyde peeked out of the other room and he, Harry, Margaret and Janet all walked slowly out, into the hallway, quietly heading back to the front double-doors. George Valance walked out of the other room, carrying Sam Miller's skull in his boney-hand. Percy reached out of the room he went into and put his hand quickly around Janet's mouth, as she was passing the room. He put his other hand on her arm and pulled her into the room. He got his pistol out of the pocket of his jacket and held it up to Janet's throat. "Now, you and your freak Friends won't tell our Folks about our drinkin' Janet ya sissy" he told her. Percy suddenly gasped in pain, and dropped his gun, letting go of Janet's mouth then. Janet backed away from the bully immediately and saw a shadowy-knife sticking out of his shadowy-back, as he turned sideways. The shadowy-figure of Percy fell over, dead. There was another zombie standing within the green moonlight that shined into the room through a window, dressed in a black hat, an orange t-shirt, and dirt-covered-pants. His dead eyes glowed-yellow and his decaying-skin was a sickening-green-color and full of rotting holes.
"You are my victim to kill girl. I am a zombie, and finally have gotten a victim, and you'll be my next one!" the zombie told Janet. She gasped in fear and ran out of the room then. Janet ran into George Valance and the zombie gripped her by her hair. The skeleton-zombie in the rags dropped Sam Miller's skull and the other zombie came out of the room then, seeing George. Meanwhile, the other kids were outside and turned around. "Where's our Friend Janet? She was right behind me, Clyde and Harry" Margaret said to the boys. "Oh no. Deke, Percy or Ed probably caught her Margaret" Clyde replied to her, concerned. "Ace Lynderman. You have risen from the grave too I see" George Valance said to the other zombie in his raspy voice. "Why, yes, George Valance I have indeed. The girl is mine to kill. Let me have her mack!" the zombie of Ace Lynderman replied. His dead eyes shined-yellow and his worms crawled out of the holes of his green decayed-flesh. Ace Lynderman rose the shadowy-knife and approached the skeleton. He stabbed George Valance in his eye-socket, and as the zombie screamed in pain, he let go of Janet. Janet ran. Ace Lynderman punched George Valance in his rotting ribcage and the zombie yanked the knife out of his eye socket, plunging it into the other zombie's shoulder. Ace screamed in pain and pulled it out. George Valance walked off, up the hallway. Janet got to the front double-doors of Griswald Insane Asylum and she looked back, seeing the zombified-George Valance approaching her. She screamed in fear and he reached out and gripped her ponytail with his skeletal-hand. She froze in fear, widening her eyes. The living dead zombie laughed eerily in his raspy voice, and suddenly gasped in more pain, his rotting-bones cracking as he fell to his dead knees. The skeleton let go of Janet's pony-tail. Ace Lynderman's knife stuck out of the other zombie's dacaying-back, through his dark rags. The zombie of Ace Lynderman walked slowly up to George and pulled his knife out of him, causing the zombie to grunt in pain. Then, George Valance stood up quickly, bones cracking and snapping, turned around, pulled the knife out of Ace's dead hand, and cut his orange t-shirt open with it. Janet ran outside then.
As George hit Ace in his rotting-green and hole-filled-stomach, the other zombie clutched George's skull. George eerily screamed as Ace pulled off his skull from his rotting-body, causing the body to fall to the floor and the skull to fall silent. Ace laughed and dropped George's skull then. The kids stood in the field together, looking into Griswald Insane Asylum. The last zombie of Ace Lynderman stepped into the green moonlight that shined through the glass of the double-doors, smiling out at the kids in his shadowy-clothes. He had a couple teeth still in his rotting-mouth. The kids screamed in fear. The zombie picked up the knife from the boney-hand of George Valance. Ace came outside, aiming the knife at the kids, but Harry grabbed an axe from out of a hole. Margaret and Janet backed up when the living-dead psycho got closer to them. "My ax. That was buried with me. Give it to me boy. I'll kill all of you!" Ace said to Harry and then to all of them. He swung the knife at Harry, but the boy backed up, quickly along with Clyde. The girls ran passed the zombie and he turned around. Harry quickly knocked the knife out of his dead hand from behind, with the handle of the axe. Ace turned around and grabbed his ax out of Harry's hands. Then Clyde ran passed Ace, causing the zombie to turn around again and take a step forward. He tripped over a long tree-root sticking partially up, out of the ground, and fell forward, causing his own ax to plunge directly into his rotting throat, cutting his head off. The kids smiled, sighing in relief, ran passed the still head and body of Ace Lynderman, and ran out of the field, and back onto the sidewalk of the neighborhood together.
Well, that ending was very AX-CITING eh, Kiddies? The zombies of the psychopaths had a FRIGHT TO THE FINISH heh-heh-heh-heh-heh! They certainly HEADED OFF each other hee-hee-hee. Well, Clyde, Harry, Margaret and Janet all figured out how to PSYCH WARD OFF the zombies in the end ha-ha!
