FRIGHT NIGHT (7 min read)
When our boys were younger, 8 and 12, they loved having sleep overs with kids from school. Minimum 8 kids would spend the night , play games and maybe watch a scary movie 🍿. Then in the mornings Lee would make pancakes, eggs , bacon , sausages, hash browns , toast , crepes ect . It was made a feast fit for gladiators after battle , just what they needed.
Aside from movies and games, another thing they loved to do was make cardboard swords with duct tape for strength and originality. They fashion helmets and shields, like the metal smiths of old medieval times, except there was no forge burning coal to shape the black iron into a sword. They were armed with scissors, cardboard and many colours of duct tape to forge there armory of weapons for the battle that would soon begin . There creativity was exploding out ward into the world, it was really neat to see and Home Depot loved all my buying of duct tape 😂
While the kids had there traditions at sleep overs, so did Daddy. I would try and scare them or play pranks. I would put on a mask and go out on the front deck and sit and watch them, watching a scary movie, they would freak out when they finally noticed me looking in with my clown mask from American Horror Story.
Another of my favourite things to do was I would wait till they were watching a scary movie, my favourite Movie for this prank was Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I would get all dressed up with a Halloween mask and all. Go out to my garage and find my chainsaw, take the chain off my chainsaw so it was not dangerous to anyone. Then I would bust in the back door wielding the weapon of choice with the motor revving and smoke billowing from the exhaust and chase them. They scattered and ran away screaming. It seemed I always caught them off guard and they loved it and screamed AGAIN AGAIN
A NEW REIGN OF TERROR 🩸
I’ve upped my game, I’ve thought of a new prank or scare tactic. So now like a cougar in the trees I wait for my prey .... I catch wind that the kids are having a sleep over this weekend and all the regulars are coming. Perfect I think to my self.....
A regular night of gladiator battles, pizza and movies ensued, I said I wasn’t feeling good and all the boys are ok with it. I think a little disappointed no terrifying scare tonight. So I get into our bedroom and my plan takes shape. I tell my wife it’s on, it’s on like Donkey Kong baby ! I go down stairs to the electrical panel and flick the breaker off , dead silence through out the pitch black house .... I smash a glass in a bag so everyone could hear. I text Jake, my oldest son. I’m in the Blue bubbles and he’s in white.
At this point I’m walking through the dark house, making it known that there is an intruder. I’d open doors slowly so they squeaked and them then closed them fast with a
I make my way up the stairs making sure to hit all the squeaky steps .....
