APRIL GHOULS DAY

I sure need to get an IN-FEAR-IOR DE-GORE-RATOR in my CASTLE here boys and ghouls!  Perhaps one of the professionals from THIS MOLD HOUSE could help.  I'm thinking of putting on a HUMAN-GUT-TER and a brand new DUNGEON-GORE heh-heh-heh-heh-heh.  In the MEANSLIME, here's a BOO-IT-YORSELF BIT about a killer who is not CLOWNING AROUND on a holiday I entitle...

It was on April Fool's Day back in 1979, when three kids walked through a library over in New Jersey.  One of the three boys got "MOBY DICK; OR, THE WHALE." off of a shelf and they took seats at a table.  "This is my favorite book my Dad read to me" one boy said to the other two.  "Yeah, Frank, it's neat" one of the other boys told him.  "Hey, Jimmy, remember we're here to pull an April Foo's prank on Mrs. Baker though" Frank reminded him of.  "Yeah I know.  Got the chattering teeth ready Edward?" Jimmy answered than looked to the third boy, asking.  "Yep, Jimmy" Edward replied.  Frank, Jimmy and Edward walked over to the librarian then who was sitting behind her desk.  "May I help you boys?" she asked them with a smile.  "Hello Mrs. Baker.  Yes please help us find more classic sea voyage books" Frank replied.  "Of course, Frank" Mrs. Baker said and walked into an aisle wIth him and Jimmy.  Edward pulled a pair of chattering teeth out of his jacket-pocket, putting them underneath a sheet of paper on Mrs. Baker's desk.  Moments later, the librarian came back to her desk, sat down and grabbed the sheet of paper.  Gasping, Mrs. Baker found the chattering teeth chattering away, and the boys were laughing away from over at the table.  "Very funny boys!" Mrs. Baker sighed, looking over at them with a smirk.  "April Fool's Mrs. Baker!!" they laughed, saying in unison.

A couple hours later, Edward, Jimmy and Frank were reading some books at the table and Jimmy walked over to Mrs. Baker's desk, discovering she was not there.  "Mrs. Baker.  Mrs. Baker" he called out, then tried the double-doors of the library.  They were locked.  "Guys, Mrs. Baker's gone and we're locked in here" Jimmy called to Edward and Frank.  Frank and Edward went over to him.  "What?  The library's closed ah, man!" Frank said, surprised.  "The phone, Frank!" Edward said and they all went behind Mrs. Baker's desk.  A shadow moved on the wall in the light from outside shining through the windows then.  The boys saw it and ran into an aisle.  "There's somebody else here.  I am not going near that phone on Mrs. Baker's desk with whoever they are, being able to see me" Edward whispered.  "Just keep quiet, Edward" Jimmy whispered back.  It was twilight hour, and an old man wearing a red and yellow-striped jester's cap popped his head up, outside one of the library-windows.  He didn't have any eyes, just black eye-sockets.  The boys heard footsteps coming their way and crowded into a back room together.  As Jimmy, Edward and Frank looked out the doorway, the shadow from before was on the back wall, bobbing in the light.  There was the sound of laughing in a chipmunk's voice suddenly that echoed through the library.  "It's some maniac like in the film Psycho" Jimmy whispered.  The shadow bobbed and left the back wall.  The boys hid in the back room in a darkened-corner.

The laughing died down and within the dim back room of the library, the old man in the red and yellow-striped jester's cap skipped in the fading-light.  The silhouette of him was seen by the boys, and the sound of the jingling-bells on the ends of his cap was heard.  Then he made a hissing-noise at them, as he hopped into the dim-light through the one window.  Jimmy, Edward and Frank all noticed his shadowy-fangs in the light as he hissed, and they ran from the room.  As the thing's laughter was heard from the back room, the boys bumped into a man standing in a row of books.  "Pardon us sur, we're sorry" Frank told the guy.  "Oh it's alright boys.  I got locked in this library too" he told them.  They walked over into the light from outside shining through a window together.  The guy opened a bottle of Jim Beam Whiskey and took a swig from it.  "You boys don't know who the killer is.  Whoever that is in that back room back there, is not the killer for sure" the man said.  He then pulled a knife out of his jacket and grabbed Edward by his arm.  The boys screamed in surprise and shock.  The laughter of the thing in the back room got closer, then it came into the light, hissing at the guy.  It was a ghoul.

         Well, hee-hee, that was FRIGHT a GHOUL TALE I mean a COOL TALE eh, Kiddies?  OF CORPSE there was SOME-BODY in the library with the boys and ghoul, and it ended up being the man's aha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.  Well, I've decided to watch an episode of Home Improvement with Tim Allen's show in it GHOUL TIME!  I want to get these CASTLE RE-SCARES going.
