The Creation Of A Halloween Monster

The Creation Of A Halloween Monster

By Jane Zync


During a rainy night in New York City, Chris is in his mothers basement trying to fix his old TV. As he is excited while working on it he bursts into uncontrollable laughter. His mother yells at him. He goes back to working on his television.

A huge lighting and storm winds are heard as the TV turns on and static noise is seen. The ground starts to shake and Chris falls to the floor. Suddenly the TV comes to life. Beep Beep is heard and the monster goes running up the stairs. Chris follows and runs after the monster till he hits the fall on the second floor of Chris's home.

"Where the hell are you from?", "What is your name?" Chris asks before he realizes that the Monster does not speak english! He must name the new monster and Chris chooses the name Teli. Teli is a good Monster and means no harm, and so a happy ending is had to this Halloween story.

Typical festive Halloween activities include trick-or-treating (or the related "guising"), attending costume parties, decorating, carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns, lighting bonfires, apple bobbing, visiting haunted attractions, playing pranks, telling scary stories and watching horror films. In many parts of the world, the Christian religious observances of All Hallows' Eve, including attending church services and lighting candles on the graves of the dead, remain popular,[17][18][19] although in other locations, these solemn customs are less pronounced in favor of a more commercialized and secularized celebration.[20][21][22] Because many Western Christian denominations encourage, although most no longer require, abstinence from meat on All Hallows' Eve,[23][24] the tradition of eating certain vegetarian foods for this vigil day developed, including the consumption of apples, colcannon, cider, potato pancakes, and soul cakes. All Hallows' Eve is a Christianized feast initially influenced by Celtic harvest festivals, with possible pagan roots, particularly the Gaelic Samhain. Other scholars maintain that it originated independently of Samhain and has solely Christian roots
