EYE see you are back Kiddies...with THE HUMAN-EYE I am holding heh-heh-heh-heh-heh!  You are all very good PUPILS in my CLASS OF CREEPINESS, and FEAR'S a TERRIFYING-TEST to take.  I just know you'll all get an A PUS!  This SLOP QUIZ OF AN AX-AM is entitled...

Way back in the early-Winter Of 1939, there was a gentleman who was driving a car up, in Nova Scotia, Canada one night.  It was a blizzard out, and he saw a mansion on the side of the road.  The gentleman parked and rang the doorbell..  A fuzzy red light lit up in the windows on both sides of the front double-doors and the doors  opened to a lady with huge, black circles for eyes, with dimly shining-pupils of yellow.  "Good evening, sir, may I help you?" she asked him.  "Ah, good evening, miss, yes.  Do you have a room for the night please?" the gentleman inquired.  "Yes sir right this vay please" the creepy lady confirmed.  "Thank you ma'am!" he said, gratefully and followed her inside the manor.

The gentleman watched the woman climb up a staircase in her black dress and he took a room upstairs then.  "Have a grand evening sir" she told him.  "Thank you ma'am" he responded, crawling in bed.  A bit later, the woman was standing over the man at the bedside, and sunk fangs into his throat, hissing.  He woke and screamed in pain and terror at the vampire.  She tore her fangs out of his flesh and hissed, "I am Viveca A Creature Of The Night" to him.  "You are a vampire!!!!!" the man screamed at the monster.  He revealed his cross necklace and Viveca backed up, shielding her dim-glowing-yellow pupils with her hand.  The man rose from the bed and Viveca shined her purple ring at him.  He held his eyes, screaming.

The vampire rushed from the room, the man pursuing her.  The candles in the manor went out and the shine of Viveca's purple ring was the only light.  Viveca flew from the upstairs-bannister, into mid-air.  She hissed at the man and as she flew towards him, he pinned the cross necklace upon her pale-white cheek.  Viveca hissed in massive-pain, shrieking wildly, as her flesh and short black hair melted from her bones.  There was just a fanged-skeleton in a black dress that fell to the floor and the man fled the mansion.

Hee-Hee-Hee, that just MELTED MY HUMAN-HEART THAT I WAS HOLDING, kiddies.  There are no BONES about that either...except Viveca's aha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

Uncle Fred

Hee-Hee, greetings kiddies, welcome to the FIRST ISSUE OF CREEPS CASTLE!  I am your GHOST-HOST, CREEPS!  Welcome to my home known as CREEPS CASTLE!  Our story starts out with two brothers, who are watched by their rather ROTTEN uncle ha-ha!

It was a windy, October evening, back in 1938, up in Manhattan, New York City, where two boys were inside a small house, playing Cards, together at the dining-room-table. "Your turn Brother" one of the boys said to the other one. "Why thank you Tim!" he replied and put a card down. "Ah man, Ryan!" Tim told his brother. "I won Tim!!" Ryan said and Tim threw down his cards. Ryan tossed his cards down too and a young man and woman walked in, together. "We shall be back boys. Goodbye!" the couple told Ryan and Tim. "Alright have fun Mama and Papa!!" they replied. Their parents took off out the door and Ryan and Tim walked out of the dining room, together.

Later on, the boys heard someone knocking on the front door, as they were both reading books in their parlor.  Ryan and Tim got out of their chairs and looked out the parlor-window.  They saw a tall figure outside, silhouetted in the moonlight.  "Who is that?" Tim asked Ryan.  "I don't know" he replied.  They answered the door and stared up, at the tall figure.  "Good evening boys, I am your Uncle Fred.  I wanted to come and watch you, while your Father and my Sister your Mother are out" the figure explained to them, in a rather distorted old voice.  "Uncle Fred hi, come on in.  How do you do?" Tim asked him, invitingly.  "Oh, pretty good Timothy, how are you?" Uncle Fred answered and asked.  "Fine" he said.  Uncle Fred made his way to the parlor, very, very slowly.  "Here, take a chair Uncle!!" Ryan insisted.  "Thank you Ryan my boy. Could you please bring me a bottle of Scotch?" Uncle Fred said and asked in his rotted-voice.  "Yes sir" Ryan answered and walked out.  He went into the kitchen and returned with a bottle of Scotch.  "Hey, Ryan, didn't Uncle Fred die eight years ago?" Tim asked.  Ryan handed Uncle Fred the Scotch, as Uncle Fred leaned forwards in the fireplace-light.  "Yes Timothy I did!" he answered, as the boys screamed in horror at Uncle Fred's decomposed-corpse, of rotted-flesh, dirt and worms.  The worms crawled in the skeleton's eye sockets and out of his mouth.  He opened the bottle of Scotch with his decayed, boney-digits, as pieces of flesh and dirt dropped to the floor, with worms squirming about in them.  The zombie of Uncle Fred drank the Scotch down, as he laughed, hoarsely.

Hee-Hee, well, that old Uncle Fred was just FALLING TO PIECES over watching his nephews.  He sure KEPT AN EYE ON THEM, even without his eyes ha-ha!  Well, luckily Uncle Fred didn't go to the wrong home and make a GRAVE MISTAKE ha-ha-ha!
The Girl In The Canoe

Come in!  Come into my CASTLE kids.  I, CREEPS, have PRESCARED a DIE-A-BOLICAL DISH for you.  Heh-Heh, it's about a group of FIENDS, who find a mysterious girl in a canoe out, on a lake!  I call it...

On the shores of Mallard Lake up, in the wilderness of southeast-Canada, three teenage boys and three teenage girls, were fishing back in November of 1952.  "You boys brought us out here on a really cold day" one of the girls said.  "Do you hear that Jeff?" one of the boys replied, asking another one.  "Yeah, Fred, we bring our girls on a date and one of them is complaining" Jeff replied to him.  "Can you believe this, Daniel?" Jeff asked the third boy.  "Well, it is cold Jeff!" Daniel answered.  The girls dropped their fishing-lines and walked into a small cabin.  "Now, look at that.  Women will be women!" Jeff said.  "Yeah" Daniel and Fred agreed.  That evening, the boys spotted an old canoe out, on Mallard Lake.  There was a teenage girl in it.  Her skin was glowing a pale-white, along with her straight, short-hair.  She appeared to be wearing a light-brown dress.  The girl's eyes seemed to glisten and glow-white as well.  Fred, Daniel and Jeff were sitting on rocks around a campfire, looking at her.  "Who the heck is that?" Jeff asked.  The old canoe moved quietly along the water, sailing down, under the light of the moon.  The girl in the canoe was a phantom.

Fred, Jeff and Daniel gasped in fright, as the ghost shrieked at them in a high-pitched voice.  The canoe sailed to the shore of Mallard Lake and the boys jumped up, peering directly at the ghost.  The specter of the teenage girl shrieked in a loud, high-pitch.  The guys screamed and ran into the cabin.  Their girlfriends were sitting around the table by the lit-fireplace, playing bingo.  "About time you boys came in" one girl said to Jeff, Daniel and Fred.  "There's like a ghost out there in an old canoe!!" Daniel replied.  As the girls laughed, Jeff ran out, to Mallard Lake, finding only a rotting skeleton in a light-brown dress, lying in the old canoe by the shore.

There are NO BONES ABOUT THAT ENDING, eh, Kiddies?  Just a WHOLE SKELETON heh-heh-heh-heh!  Well, I guess that phantom's really going GHOST TO GHOST on lakes.  Until next ISSUE, BEAST WISHES to you Kids ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

The Midnight Visitor

There you are Kiddies.  I was just SLAYING a bit of tennis with my GHOULFRIEND Ha-Ha.  Yes, we SCARE to be ON THE BALL and like to OOZE our new TENNIS HACKETS hee-hee-hee-hee.  But, here is another GAME, about a little girl who meets a rather FUNNY OLD FIEND!

It was back on July 4th, 1953, when a little girl was awake in her bedroom down in Montgomery, Alabama.  She layed in her bed on her stomach, watching the fireworks out her window up, in the starry-sky.  As the fireworks booms and crackled outside, the grandfather-clock in the downstairs hall outside the girl's bedroom chimed: "12:00 Midnight".  The girl then noticed a figure in the street, standing still in the darkness.  The figure began shining, and the girl saw it was a clown holding a bunch of yellow-balloons.  The clown had: a white suite, with blue clown-shoes on, and red hair.  It seemed to gaze at her with ita blue painted-on eyes and grinned suddenly, stretching its red painted-on mouth into a sickening-smile.  The small girl went to her open-window and looked out, at the clown in the road.  It began laughing in a chipmunk-voice and waving at her with its red-gloved hand.  She smiled, waving back.  The clown walked up to her bedroom-window and the girl saw its teeth were black and pointed-fangs.  The creature spoke to her in a chipmunk-voice: "hello little one, would you like a nice yellow balloon?".  The girl hesitantly reached her hand out and the monster handed her one of the balloons.  As she pulled it inside her room, the balloon quickly popped, spraying yellow-slime all over her face, hair and nightgown.  As the girl screamed, the clown hissed like a snake, and more slime of yellow burst out of the other popping-balloons it held.  A yellow pool of slime covered the lawn, and the clown growled deeply, fangs showing in the moonlight.  "I am called The Midnight Visitor and a lot of children know when I visit them at this time with my balloons of slime!" the inhuman-clown explained to the girl in a much deeper-voice.  The monster removed its own head, with yet more yellow slime oozing out of its neck and head.  The Midnight Visitor laughed insanely in its chipmunk-voice, as it juggled its head.  The girl screamed again and this time, The Midnight Visitor vanished.

Well, wasn't that just a LAUGH-RIOT?  Like me, The Midnight Visitor got A-HEAD OF THE GAME heh-heh.  The score of our tennis game is 5-FEAR-0 Ha-Ha-Ha.

The Christmas Carolers

Greetings boys and girls, I, CREEPS, am in the CHRISTMAS MOOD once again.  Heh-Heh, I have hung my SHOCKINGS ON THE FIREPLACE and have DE-GORE-RATED my CASTLE with colorful CHRISTMAS FRIGHTS hee-hee-hee!  Well, here's a GHOULTIDE SCARE-ROL for you all, I call...

During Christmas Eve, 1892, in Brooklyn, New York City, a teenage boy poked logs in a fireplace of an apartment.  He glanced out the window, seeing snow fall.  A woman entered the room.  "Daniel, would you care for a cup of hot tea or coffee, sweetheart?" she asked the boy.  "Yes, Mother thank you" he replied, smiling.  "Alright" Daniel's mother smiled back. Daniel continued tending the fire and suddenly heard some men singing: "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" outside.  He took his poker and opened the door.  Outside, there were shadowy-men in a small crowd.  As they sang the carol, one of the Christmas carolers had a shadowy-top hat on and their eyes all glowed a white-color.  Daniel peered out, at them in the falling-snow of the evening.  The Christmas carolers finished the jolly-song and started singing: "Silent Night".  Daniel grinned with a grinning-face, looking at the six of them.  Their voices were low, deep and the teenager began to hear growls come from all of them.

Daniel looked frightened and shut the door.  "Hello Son, who is out there?" a man asked Daniel, stopping behind him.  "Oh, Father, just a group of Christmas carolers" he answered.  "Oh, that is nice then!" Daniel's father replied.  A knock was heard on the window and they looked out it.  It was one of the carolers, only he was some creature, in a cloak and hood of black, with black-skin.  Its eyes continued to glow-white and now its sharp-teeth were visible, glowing-white as well.  Daniel and his father screamed and the monster growled from beyond the window.  The window blew open then in the wind, the monster reaching into the apartment with its black-hand and white-claws.  It touched Daniel's throat, as he screamed some more. The other Christmas carolers stopped caroling and got closer to the open-window, growling and showing their pointed-teeth.  Daniel's father pulled his son back and they saw the monster closest to the open-window, hold up a human-nose in its other clawed-hand and gnaw on it.  Daniel's father closed and latched the window.  They heard the monsters scurry off in the snow and looked out the window, seeing that they were gone.

That one caroler got a bit NOSEY ha-ha.  Daniel and his father really were SCREAMING OF A WHITE CHRISTMAS!  Well, I've got to go Kiddies, on a JOLLY SLAY-RIDE ha-ha-ha-ha!

A sign hung across the building in Manhattan, New York City, which read in black capital-letters: "BRYAN'S BARBECUED MEATS", back in the summer of 1955.  Inside the butcher's shop, the thin butcher hit a huge piece of meat on his counter with a meat-hammer, tenderizing it.  He stopped and went back into his meat locker, seeing pieces of a giant hog hanging on meat-hooks.  "Boy, you are gonna make me rich, along with other swines that shall come after you're all sold out" the butcher laughed to the pig's head on one of the hooks.  He walked out of the meat freezer, locking the door.

Chapter 2

"Hello, Bryan, getting ready for your grand opening tomorrow?" a lady came into the butcher's shop, asking the butcher.  "Hello Darla, yes my wife" Bryan answered her.  "Good Sweetheart" Darla replied and kissed Bryan's cheek.  That night, Bryan was still in his brand new butcher's shop, mopping the floor around the counter.  Just then, he heard a scurrying around back in the meat locker.

Chapter 3

Bryan stopped mopping and took a swig from a bottle of Ripple on his counter.  He flung open the door of the meat freezer and found that the body parts of the huge hog were missing.  "Where'd all of my meat go?" he said in confusion.  Then as he walked inside, the door of the meat locker closed and locked.  Bryan heard more of the scurrying around in the meat locker and oinking was accompanied by it.  The butcher saw the huge hog was now sewn-together and walking on its hind-hooves in the corner.  "Nooo, I slaughtered you in my slaughterhouse!!!" he laughed insanely at the zombie of the swine.  The pig zombie's skin was a reddish-pink and it was rotting, as the thing peered at Bryan with solid-black dead-eyes.  The center of its head was torn-open, causing dark-brown slime and ooze to drip out of it.  As Bryan screamed in terror, the zombie-swine attacked him, ripping at his throat, oinking and squealing like mad.  An hour later, the dead body of Bryan hung with a meat hook in its back in the meat locker.

Old Bryan really made quite a MIS-STEAK with slaughtering that sow eh?  He really was PIGGING OUT in his butcher's shop ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!  But at least in the end the zombie went HOG WILD and left him HANGING AROUND heh-heh-heh.  Oh well, Bryan did get HOOKED to his job ha-ha.

Vacation Home

Well, hello TERROR kiddies!  I was just listening to my FAVORITE SLOP-SHOCK AND ROLL BAND: DAVY GROANS AND THE MONKEES ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.  Here's a classic song of theirs and hit DAYSCREAM BELIEVER!  But among my MOLDY-MUSICAL-COLLECTION, is a #1 hit on the CHILLING-CHARTS, called...

A group of teenagers rode in a yellow Chevy together, back in late-July, 1961.  They were in the western part of Kentucky and as they laughed and chatted, Bobby Lewis sung Tossin' And Turnin' on the car-radio.  The two teenage girls in the backseat stopped laughing and one said to the other, "so what will your Mother and Father say if they find out your Boyfriend came along Wanda?".  "Oh, they won't.  Besides, Eddie and I are sleeping in different rooms Karen" Wanda answered her.

The four teens arrived at a bungalow by a lake and the teenage boys in the front of the car high-fived each other.  "Here we are girls, come on!" the boy at the wheel said.  "Alright Eddie honey" Wanda said to him.  That night, Wanda and Eddie kissed out by the lake, standing beneath a tree.  A figure in the small woods by the lake seemed to watch them from afar in the moonlight.  Two punks rode up on motorcycles just then.  They approached Eddie and Wanda.  "This here lake is our lake when we show up, so take off y'all dweebs" one punk ordered.  "We rented this here bungalow from my Father" Wanda said to them.  "If y'all are not gone by midnight, we'll kill ya" the punks said and they got on their motorcycles and took off.

At midnight, the punks were back outside the house.  They drank bottles of Budweiser in the moonlight.  "Those dweebs are still here.  Let's kill" one whispered to the other.  They held guns, but suddenly, the figure in the moonlight came out of the woods and stuck a shadowy-blade into one of the punk's necks, killing him.  The other punk saw the figure was in a black trench-coat, boots, pants and a white hockey-mask.  The punk screamed and ran for his motorcycle, but the murderer yanked their knife out of the murdered punk and headed his way.  Before the punk started his motorcycle, the murderer got to him, removing their hockey mask.  They were a hideous monster, yellow flesh covered in black veins, with three eyeballs of a glowing-red.  The monster hissed with its black fangs extremely long.  It stabbed the screaming-punk in his back, murdering him with its knife, as its black long hair shone in the moonlight.

Wanda, Eddie, Karen and the other teen raced out of the home with a cop, all seeing the creature.  The cop shot the thing in its back and it screeched like a wolf, dropping its mask as its wound splattered a puddle of green-slime on the ground, spraying into an eye-hole of the mask, on and around it.  The monster then disappeared into the woods.

Well, everybody ended up seeing what was in the MOONFRIGHT eh, Kiddies?  Before punks could ruin those teenagers vacation, they got their own SLAY-CATION heh-heh-heh!
