The Boogeyman Next Door

Hello Kiddies. I hope you're ready to BOOGEY, because our tale is about a BOOGEYMAN ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. This SCREAM-STORY about a NEXT-GORE NEIGHBOR, is called...

It was one night, back in the early-winter of 1966, when a teenage hippie drove into the driveway of a house over in northern-Illinois, and parked her blue VW Bug. On the car radio, The Beach Boys sang "Barbara Ann", and the hippie turned it off along with her car. She went into the house and turned on a lava lamp that was yellow in her living-room. A cat came running up to her, meowing away. She took her coat off and hung it up on a coat-rack. "Hi, Kitty, how are you?" the teenager asked the cat and picked it up. The hippie kissed Kitty on the side of its face and walked into her kitchen, carrying the cat in her arms. She turned on the light within the kitchen and saw the shadowy-figure of a man within the window of the house next door. The hippie stared out her kitchen-window, seeing the shape of the man wore a hat. He stood and waved at the teenager, she put Kitty down on the floor, then waved back at him. She poured some cat food from out of a can into a cat dish and water and then poured some water from out of a cup into another cat dish. Kitty ate the food. "There you go, Kitty" the hippie said to the cat and pet it. She walked back into the living room and sat down on a sofa by the yellow lava lamp then.

The hippie looked over at a record-player on the other side of the couch, got up and turned it on. A record of The Mamas And The Papas was on the record-player and "Monday, Monday" played. The hippie sat back down on her couch by her lava-lamp then and the shadowy-figure of the man from next door who she saw, stood by one of the walls within the room. "Victoria" the shadowy-figure of the man said to the hippie. "What is it? Who?" Victoria replied, asking startled. She looked over at the wall and the figure was gone. Kitty was drinking water out of its cat dish in the kitchen, and a shadowy hand pet it then. Meanwhile, two robbers were outside the back door of Victoria's house. "We're gonna get in here and if you see the girl, shoot her to death, Henry" one of the robber said to the other. "Okey dokey, Pete" Henry replied to him. Pete smashed a window-pane within the back door with a crowbar, reached into the kitchen, unlatched the back door, and opened it. He and Henry snuck into the kitchen and held guns. Victoria stood within the doorway of the kitchen and screamed, seeing them. The shadowy-figure of the man in the hat stood within her kitchen too and said to Pete and Henry: "you two fellas get out of here, and do not harm Victoria or her cat". He stepped into the kitchen-light. He had: a black fedora, black dress-pants, black shoes and a black long-sleeved-shirt on. His face was a dark-yellow color and also was totally burned. He also had huge eyes that glowed-white, along with two huge, long white fangs that protruded from his upper-mouth. "I am know as The Boogeyman Next Door" he said to the robbers and they both shot him, causing dark-green slime to ooze out of the bullet-holes within his shirt. Henry and Pete ran out of Victoria's house and The Boogeyman Next Door ran out the back door, chasing them, cackling in an eerie high-pitched tone.

As the robbers ran around Victoria's home, The Boogeyman Next Door ran, cackling into the moonlight, with black ooze dripping out of his mouth. Henry got to a van across the street and looked back. The Boogeyman Next Door tackled Pete to the road, attacking him by biting the back of his head with his fangs. Pete screamed, writhing back and forth. Henry gasped in horror, got into the van and drove off, down the street. Within the shadows, the humanoid-monster gnawed on the neck of the robber, and the sounds of flesh-tearing were heard, as the screams of Pete stopped. Victoria peered out her living-room-window and The Boogeyman Next Door stood up, turned around and his shadowy figure picked up the silhouette of Pete's dead body, by its arm and faded-out, vanishing with it then. Soon, a police car pulled into Victoria's driveway and two cops got out of it. The ran to her front door. The next day, Victoria and another teenage girl who was also a hippie sat on her sofa together. "The two cops said that the house next door is empty and has been for four years Donna" Victoria said to the other hippie. "I'm sure glad you're alright Victoria. You and Kitty. This Thanksgiving should be far out though" Donna replied and Kitty jumped up, on the couch. Victoria pet Kitty as the cat purred.

Meanwhile, Henry was sitting in the van up the street, drinking a bottle of gin. He looked around, put the bottle down and got out of the van. The robber walked down the sidewalk and got to Victoria's home. Passing her blue VW Bug, Henry crept up to her front door. He rang her doorbell and pulled his gun out of his jacket-pocket. The door opened and it was The Boogeyman Next Door, blinking his huge, white-glowing-eyes and laughing eerily in his high-pitched tone. Henry gasped in surprised-terror and the thing scraped its long and black clawed-hand that was also dark-yellow and burned like its face across Henry's face. The robber came to with claw-marks across his face, lying on a bed within a shadowy-house. All of a sudden, he sunk down into a huge hole within the bed, causing Henry to scream. The screams were accompanied then by the sounds of eating within the hole. A geyser of dark green slime shot up, out of the hole, spilling slime everywhere. The geyser of dark-green slime stopped shooting out of the hole and The Boogeyman Next Door rose up, out of it, cackling in his high-pitched tone. His burned, dark-yellow, long, black clawed-hands held the skull of Henry's skeleton, as the boney-corpse rose out of the hole in the bed with him. Meanwhile, Victoria and Donna looked out Victoria's front door. "Someone was at the door when we were looking through my groovy records Donna" Victoria said to her. "Yeah, I heard your doorbell too Victoria" Donna replied. Victoria looked over and saw The Boogeyman Next Door, standing in the window of the house next door. The humanoid monster waved at her with its clawed-hand. It held up the skeleton of Henry by its jacket-collar. "Oh, The Boogeyman Next Door saved Kitty and I from the other robber" Victoria said to Donna, smiled and waved back at him. He cackled in his eerie high-tone, blinking his huge white-shining-eyes.
