Well, as long as you don't call it your own, I guess it's ok...just wanted to clear that up in case you have to answer to higher authority :)

Well, I re-wrote a lot of it, and I made sure to state that they were from the books... and I'm not using the stories for like a school project or something and taking credit for them, I'm just showing the stories to people. So, no, I don't think it is.

Isn't that plagiarism?

From the books, but i re-wrote parts of it.

Awesome! Your last thread was very successful (duh), but after a while it got too long and messy, and I found myself too lazy to read through everyone's posts; very good idea making a new one, I'm sure we're all excited to find else what else you have in store! Btw: Are these directly from the book (Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark), or is the similar title just a coincidence? EDIT: disregard the "btw" text...I didn't read your first post.

*points flashlight under chin* Once upon a time, there was a floodian, he awoke to find himself in the middle of the Halo 3 Forum, and he could never leave! muahahahahahahahaaaa!!!!

I'm sure many of you have heard this before, this story is a classic. *I did not write this story. The Hook The reports had been on the radio all day, though she hadn't paid much attention to them. Some crazy man had escaped from the state asylum. They were calling him the Hook Man since he had lost his right arm and had it replaced with a hook. He was a killer, and everyone in the region was warned to keep watch and report anything suspicious. But this didn't interest her. She was more worried about what to wear on her date. After several consultation calls with friends, she chose a blue outfit in the very latest style and was ready and waiting on the porch when her boyfriend came to pick her up in his car. They went to a drive-in movie with another couple, then dropped them off and went parking in the local lover's lane. The blue outfit was a hit, and she cuddled close to her boyfriend as they kissed to the sound of romantic music on the radio. Then the announcer came on and repeated the warning she had heard that afternoon. An insane killer with a hook in place of his right hand was loose in the area. Suddenly, the dark, moonless night didn't seem so romantic to her. The lover's lane was secluded and off the beaten track. A perfect spot for a deranged mad-man to lurk, she thought, pushing her amorous boyfriend away. "Maybe we should get out of here," she said. "That Hook Man sounds dangerous." "Awe, c'mon babe, it's nothing," her boyfriend said, trying to get in another kiss. She pushed him away again. "No, really. We're all alone out here. I'm scared," she said. They argued for a moment. Then the car shook a bit, as if something…or someone…had touched it. She gave a shriek and said: "Get us out of here now!" "Jeeze," her boyfriend said in disgust, but he turned the key and went roaring out of the lover's lane with a screeching of his tires. They drove home in stony silence, and when they pulled into her driveway, he refused to help her out of the car. He was being so unreasonable, she fumed to herself. She opened the door indignantly and stepped into her driveway with her chin up and her lips set. Whirling around, she slammed the door as hard as she could. And then she screamed. Her boyfriend leapt out of the car and caught her in his arms. "What is it? What's wrong?" he shouted. Then he saw it. A bloody hook hung from the handle of the passenger-side door.

Sounds One time, after a long day of fishing, 3 fisherman were returning from the sea. They got caught in a terrible storm when they reached land, and took shelter in a deserted house near the docks. They found some dry wood next to a fire place, and they lit a fire to warm themselves up. Then they began hearing footsteps coming from the second floor. it sounded like [b]7[/b] people were walking above them. one fisherman called, "Who's up there?" The footsteps stopped. they then heard a woman scream. The scream turning into a groan and died away. blood began to drip from the ceiling. It formed a puddle on the floor. A door upstairs slammed shut, and they heard the womans voice again. "Not me!" She cried. The fisherman heard high heels tap as the woman ran down the upstairs hallway. "I'll get you!" They heard a man scream. Then, silence. It didn't stay quiet for long, though. The man started laughing, a strange, menialcal laughter. The fisherman heard someone dragging something heavy down the stairs, in the room next to them. It was bumping on every step. They heard the object being pulled through the front hall, and out the front door. then, the screen door slammed shut. A flash of lightning struck outside the house, and they say a man in the doorway, staring at them. The fishermen, terrified, ran out the back door into the storm. [Edited on 07.06.2008 7:35 AM PDT]

Room for One More A man named Josh went to New York City on a business trip. He stayed with his friends in a apartment outside the city. They talked about life in New York and Michigan, where Josh lived. When Josh went to bed, he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. He heard a car pull up into the driveway, and saw the headlights shine through his window. He wondered who would come this late. He looked outside and saw a long, black hearse, with many people inside of it. The hearse driver looked at him, and said, "There is room for one more." Josh stayed in his room, and the driver drove off after a couple of minutes. The next day, Josh went to one of the many office buildings in New York City for his business meeting. He went up the elevator to the top floor, and went to the meeting. After the meeting, he went to the elevator to go back down. The doors opened, and he saw the elevator was very crowded. "Room for one more.", he heard a man say quietly. Josh looked at the group of people and saw the Hearse driver. "No thanks, I'll wait for the next elevator." Josh said. The elevator doors closed, and the Elevator started it's journey down. Josh heard a scraping noise, and many screams and shrieks. The elevator cable had snapped, and the elevator had fallen all 50 floors to the bottom of the shaft. Everyone died. [Edited on 07.05.2008 1:03 PM PDT]
