"UNCLE HAPPY'S CANDY SHOPPE"

Welcome kids! Here's a TERROR-TALE that deals with a lot of CLOWNING AROUND heh-heh-heh-heh-heh. So, be sure to stop by...

Back in the July of 1962, there were three boys carrying fishing-poles, walking through the small town of Golden Creek, Pennsylvania one day. "Welcome to Golden Creek Sam! We have a bit of a club out by the creek where we fish at!" one boy said to another boy. "Thanks George. I'm glad my Folks moved to this town in the Summer instead of during the school year" Sam replied. "Yeah" George said, agreeing with him. "There's this place in town here, Sam, that's rather creepy" the third boy said to him. "Oh yeah. What's the name of it, Freddy?" he asked him, replying. They stopped at a building and Freddy answered, "Uncle Happy's Candy Shop, Sam". George, Sam and Freddy all looked at the building and the small white sign hanging up above the door read in black but capital letters: "UNCLE HAPPY'S CANDY SHOPPE". The boys went into the place and Sam looked around at the huge lollipops with swirling-colors, and jars and jars of colorful jawbreakers. "What is creepy about this place, Freddy?" Sam asked him. "Uncle Happy is Sam. He's this freakish clown. You'll see him" Freddy replied. The boys started to hear eerie chipmunk-laughter coming from somewhere within Uncle Happy's Candy Shoppe.

A tall clown came walking over to Sam, Freddy and George from the back of the shop, waving at the three of them. It wore: a carrot-red pointy-cap and a white collar with red "V's" around it with red dots in the middle of the "V's", a clown suit, that was carrot-red and dark-green, and huge clown shoes of light-purple. It also had: a white-painted-face, a red circle around its collar up, above the "V's" and dots, a yellow dot on its one cheek and a carrot-red dot on its other cheek, with carrot-red-painted-lips, red painted-on eyebrows, a red bizarre "V" painted on its forehead, and three red, painted-on eyelashes. The clown was bald and had frilly-cuffs on the ends of its sleeves and pant-legs, and Sam shook its white-gloved-hand. The clown blinked its eerie black eyes with small white pupils within them at Sam and the boy said to him, "hi, I'm Sam, Uncle Happy!". "Uncle Happy I am Sam" the clown responded in an eerie chipmunk voice, smiling at the boy with pure white teeth. Uncle Happy laughed eerily and grabbed one of the swirling-colorful lollipops. He handed it to Sam. "Thanks a lot" he said to the clown. Uncle Happy just kept on laughing eerily. The creepy-clown gave George and Freddy each a swirling-colorful lollipop as well. "Hey, thanks, Uncle Happy!" George and Freddy said to him and he laughed away. Uncle Happy with painted-on lines of black on his eyelids, blinked his eerie black eyes with white pupils, waved at the boys and walked away. Freddy, George and Sam walked out of the shop together then.

That day, the boy were sitting by a creek outside of town within some woods together. George pointed to a little shack across the creek to Sam. "See, Sam, that's our club man" George said to him. "Very nice George!" he said back to him, replying. "Yeah, Freddy and I have a pretty good time playing Cards, Chess, reading our stacks of comics" George told him, carrying on. "Yeah" Freddy said to Sam. A man showed up and the boys saw him then. "Hello, Principal Andrews sir" Freddy and George said to him. "Hello boys. You both should be in Summer School now. You're no-good delinquents who I've had my eye on all last school year" Principal Andrews replied to them, meanly. "Please, Principal Andrews, we're good kids!" Freddy and George said to him. "You two are trouble, Freddy Miller and George Daniels. All of you kids are at Golden Creek Elementary!!" Principal Andrews replied to them. Principal Andrews grabbed Freddy Miller's fiishing rod from him, snapping it in half and tossing it in the grass. He snatched George's fishing-pole from him and snapped it in half as well. Principal Andrews dropped it on the ground too. "Why did you do that, Principal Andrews sir?" George Daniels asked him. "Because you boys are stupid delinquents George Daniels" he responded being really mean. Principal Andrews left and George and Freddy picked up their broken fishing rods.

That early-evening, Freddy Miller, George Daniels and Sam walked through Golden Creek together. They passed by Uncle Happy's Candy Shoppe and the creepy clown peeked out one of the windows, seeing them. Meanwhile, Principal Andrews walked through downtown Golden Creek, swigging a bottle of Jack Daniel's Whiskey. The boys sat down on a bench in front of a building together and Sam said: "sorry about what Principal Andrews did to your fishing-poles fellas!" to Freddy and George. "Gee, thanks. Yeah, be warned Sam. He's a mean guy" they replied to him. "Oh, is that so boys?" Principal Andrews said, asking them, as he stepped in front of the bench. "Oh, well, we uh, Principal Andrews sir" George Daniels and Freddy Miller said to him, seeing him, surprised. "SHUT UP!!" Principal Andrews screamed at them. "You're not going to tell your Folks that I broke your fishing-poles, Freddy Miller and George Daniels. Because this is what I will do to you boys if you do!" he went on, saying. Principal Andrews looked around, seeing nobody else was around, took off his belt and beat both Freddy and George with it. As they screamed in pain, Sam shouted: "STOP IT PLEASE SIR!!" to him. When Principal Andrews stopped beating them, he hit Sam with his belt too. "That goes for you too boy!" he threatened Sam and took off. Freddy Miller, George Daniels and Sam got up from the bench with marks on their arms and walked off together. Nearby, Uncle Happy stood looking at the bench and eerie deep-blue slime oozed out of his mouth.

During the night, Principal Andrews sat out, on the back porch of a house, smoking a cigarette in a rocking-chair. Within the darkness beyond the side of the porch, a pair of eerie green-glowing eyes peered at him, as the chipmunk laughter of Uncle Happy was heard. Principal Andrews looked over and saw it. "Freakin' kids. What are you doin' you delinquent?" he said, asking the pair of eyes. The green-shining eyes came onto the porch and they were the eyes of the clown. Uncle Happy laughed in his chipmunk-like voice at Principal Andrews, making the guy stand up. "What the heck are you doin' on my back porch you clown??" Principal Andrews said, asking it. Uncle Happy's opened his mouth and his white teeth had now become sharp fangs. His eyes stopped glowing-green, turning back to black with its small pupils of white then and the monster roared at Principal Andrews suddenly in a deep voice. Principal Andrews screamed in surprised-horror and the clown-like monster in the red and dark-green clown suit, carrot-red pointy-hat and big purple clown shoes, wrapped its white-gloved-hands around the man's throat. Uncle Happy's tongue shot out of its mouth, being red and white-striped like a party-blower, and it wrapped itself around the guy's head, jerking it and snapping his neck, instantly killing Principal Andrews. The next day, Freddy Miller, George Daniels and Sam walked back into Uncle Happy's Candy Shoppe together. The boys gasped in surprise at Uncle Happy, who was standing within the center of the shop, roaring in his deep voice. He had his white fangs and held the skeleton of Principal Andrews. More deep blue slime oozed out of the inhuman clown's fanged-mouth and the boney-corpse held one of the lollipops within its skeletal-hands. "Uncle Happy, did you, uh, kill and eat Principal Andrews for us?" George asked the monster, nervously. Uncle Happy nodded its head, roaring. "Are you an alien? You have only been here in town since April" George Daniels continued asking it. The thing nodded its head. "Thank you" George, Freddy and Sam said, grinning a bit. The monster alien known as Uncle Happy roared some more and faded-out, vanishing, leaving the skeleton of Principal Andrews to fall to the floor then.

Wasn't that a SWEET ENDING Kiddies? I wanted to ask Uncle Happy CANDY HELP Sam, George and Freddy. He sure got to THE BARE BONES OF THE SITUATION eh? His plan to help the boys was OUT OF THIS WORLD hee-hee-hee-hee-hee. Sam, George and Freddy enjoyed the rest of their Summer vacation without worrying about THE PRINCIPAL OF THE THING with Principal Andrews anymore aha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.
