Prom Fright

A FLAVOR OF FRANKENSTEIN-FRIGHT, a WHIFF OF THE WOLF-MAN, and finally, a DASH OF DRACULA DREAD! Oh, hello, dear FIENDS, CREEPS here. Stirring up a SICKENING-SOUP for you all, BILE I present this MAIN CORPSE! Hee-Hee, it’s about a HIGH GHOUL PROM, and a GHOULFRIEND who had THE SLIME OF HER LIFE there. It’s called...

It was during the Spring of 1951, up, in the town of Clam Haven, Maine, where a sign outside of a school read: “CLAM HAVEN HIGH SCHOOL” on it in capital-letters of blue. Within Clam Haven High School, crowds of teenagers walked through the hallways. Three teenage girls walked together and one said to a second one, “do you just want to go to Prom with Jessica and I, Marsha?”. “Why, thank you Francine. We can make it a Girl’s Night since we have no dates!” Marsha answered her, smiling. “Yeah, what do you say Jessica?” Francine replied to Marsha and then asked the third girl. “Absolutely Francine” Jessica said, agreeing. As Francine, Marsha and Jessica turned a corner, two female bullies stopped them by a drinking fountain. “Hey, Marsha, you and your Friends here have no dates for Prom? Awe, I am sorry!” one bully said to her, meanly. “They will just have to play House that night together with their dolls, Jillian” the other bully said to the first one. “Yeah that’s right Sarah” Jillian responded to her and she and Sarah both laughed at Marsha, Francine and Jessica. “Knock it off please Jillian and Sarah. We are going to Prom together as a Girl’s Night” Marsha said to the bullies. “Just shut up, Marsha. Sarah and I have dates unlike you losers” Jillian told her and she and Sarah walked away then.

That afternoon, Marsha, Jessica and Francine walked out of Clam Haven High School together and they passed a car with Sarah and Jillian in the backseat. A teenage boy was seated in the driver’s seat and a second one was in the passenger’s seat. Sarah spotted the three girls and said to the teenager in the driver’s seat in front of her, “hey, Fred, it’s Marsha and her loser Friends. Follow them please sweetie”. “Alright, baby, anything you say” Fred answered and drove after them. The girls glanced over to the street and saw Fred following them within the car. “Oh no. Jillian has her cruel Boyfriend Fred following us in his car, Francine!” Jessica said to her and Fred sped up from behind. “Hi losers. Fred is just so handsome!” Jillian said out loud to Francine, Jessica and Marsha. “Yeah, you girls are too freakin’ ugly for any guys to date!” Fred said out of his car to them and he and Jillian laughed. The bully drove off and the girls sighed sadly. Two weeks later, the girls were walking up a sidewalk together in a neighborhood one night. They wore fancy blue Prom dresses. “Yeah, my Dad insisted on driving us all to the Prom tonight, but I finally talked him into letting us three walk to it. You know how my Dad is though all teary-eyed” Francine said to Marsha and Jessica. “Oh, yes, I know” Marsha said, replying. Jessica rolled her eyes and smiled. They turned the corner onto another street and a car passed by them. It was the bullies, with Fred at the wheel.

As he drove his car, Jillian was in the passenger seat, looking out the window. “Oh, there was Francine, Marsha and Jessica, Fred sweetie!” she said. “I have an idea Sarah. Let’s ruin their Prom dresses” the second teenage boy in the backseat next to her, told her. “Larry what a cruel idea. You are so bad honey” Sarah replied to him, kissing him on the lips. Fred pulled his vehicle over and he, Jillian, Sarah and Larry all lit cigarettes and sat smoking together. Marsha, Jessica and Francine were approaching Fred’s car then and as they passed by it, the bully revved it up, causing water and mud to splash and splatter on their dresses. They stopped walking immediately and the bullies rode away laughing at them. “OH NO!! THOSE JERKS!” Jessica shouted out. As they turned around crying a little bit and walking away, Fred turned around and sped down the street, as the four smoked away. The girls got back to the street corner and spotted the bullies pursuing them. Fred swerved onto the sidewalk and the girls ran for it.

“Those losers will tell their Folks what we just did to them, so we’ll just have to kill them. Run them over sweetie” Jillian said to Fred. “Yes Jillian dear” he responded. “Yeah, crush them, Fred woo!” Larry said. “Come on Fred woo!” Sarah added, clapping. There was a sudden thump on top of the car, and a pale white hand with long, black fingernails smashed through the windshield. The bullies screamed and Fred crashed into a fence. Marsha poked her head through the windshield, her skin now a pale dead white. With her black, straight, long hair covered in broken glass, Marsha peeled-open her lips to reveal fangs to the screaming bullies. She being a vampire, hissed eerily, driving her fingernails which were now claws into Fred’s temples. He screamed in pain and she pulled his head forwards, hissing and sinking her fangs into his forehead. Jillian, Sarah and Larry all screamed and ran from the car. When Marsha let go of Fred’s head, he slumped back, dead. Jessica and Francine stopped running and caught their breath. “Where’s Marsha at Francine?” Jessica asked her. “She was behind us, Jessica!” she replied. Jillian, Sarah and Larry ran up to the school, screaming. They calmed down outside and all hugged. They went into the high school and Jillian went into The Girl’s Room. Marsha stood there and she had no reflection in the mirror.

The bully gasped in fright at her. “You all were gonna run my Friends and I over, Jillian. You always taunt Jessica, Francine and I” Marsha said to her and hissed, showing her fangs. Jillian screamed, the vampire digging her black claws into Jillian’s shoulders. Marsha hissed, her eyes turned black with red-glowing pupils within them. The dead-white-fleshed-vampire in the fancy blue Prom dress gnawed on the bully’s throat. Jillian’s screams stopped. Sarah came rushing into The Girl’s Room then and her eyes widened in terror at Marsha slurping on Jillian’s neck. The vampire looked up at Sarah and hissed, glaring at the bully with her shining-red pupils. Marsha dropped Jillian’s dead body on the floor then. “You are a vampire Marsha???” Sarah said, asking in terror and shock. “Yes, Sarah, you, Jillian and your Boyfriends tried killing my Friends and I tonight” she answered the bully, then hissed at her. Marsha quickly clutched Sarah by her head, twisting it around and murdering her. The vampire then feasted on the throat of Sarah’s corpse, hissing eerily. Twelve minutes later, Larry was walking around the gymnasium among teenage couples dancing to “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy” By The Andrew Sisters. All of a sudden, Marsha came to him. Her eyes were normal once more. “Hey, Marsha, where’s my Girlfriend Sarah at ya loser?” he asked her, laughing. She stepped on the bully’s foot with her blue high heels and took off. Larry cried out in pain, and chased her. He found her back behind a wall, where nobody was at. Marsha turned around, grabbed him with her claws, showing her fangs, and then tore into the flesh of his cheek, causing him to scream and fall over dead.

That Prom ended up FANG-TASTIC for Marsha eh, boys and girls? Even with her dress covered in mud she can do some DIRTY DANCING hee-hee-hee-hee! Well, Fred finally DROVE HER to attack, although he did bring out the BEAST IN HER heh-heh-heh-heh.
