Yes. I am doing that Spooktober Story thing, like I did last year, like I do every year. You know what the spookiest thing of all is? Creative stagnancy.

SPOOKTOBER STORY #1:

In the first part of this story, we are spooked out because of a ghost or whatever. I describe it in detail, really trying to build up the sense of spookiness.
Then the ghost comes up and does something unghostlike, like asking us for directions, which really punctures the sense of dread created in the first part of the story.
That's the joke. That's the whole joke. Oh my god.
