Halloween Program & Writing Contest
Posted on 10/22/2020
"If you're wanting to write a really scary story take something ordinary, change it just a little bit, put it in the wrong place, and then watch as characters you love fundamentally unravel. It's either going to be hilarious or terrifying or ideally both."
~ Richard Fairgray |
