HORROR ON THE SET(jo) HORROR ON THE SET

I told you this was a bad idea you guys, Vicky whispered over to Puppy and Daisy as they looked around the old abounded gym.

Yah Daisy, I can’t believe that you made that stupid bet with Tommy, that we’d spend the night inside this creepy school and see if it’s haunted or not, Puppy frowned.

Me? I don’t remember you two putting up much of a protest when we were fighting, Daisy frowned back.

That doesn’t matter now, we’ve a bigger problem to worry about, Vicky interrupted.

Like what? Daisy asked, still frowning.

Like the doors won’t open. it seems to be locked from the outside, Vicky answered her.

What!? That’s impossible! They can’t be locked! They’re probably stuck or something Daisy cried out. She then handed her flashlight over to Vicky and began tugging on the doors. I bet the boys have something to do with this. They probably put a chair or something against the door so it won’t open. just wait until I get my paws on them, she added.

Or maybe it was the ghost of the kids who died here. They probably trapped us in here just waiting to make us their next victims Puppy giggled.

You’re not funny Puppy! Now if you’re done making stupid jokes can you help me open the doors, Daisy smirked. Then while Vicky held their flashlights both Puppy and Daisy began tugging on the doors. But they didn’t notice the ghostly figure creeping towards them nor did they see it slowly raise its ax high above its head and was about to swung it when a loud noise interrupted...

Cut! Sammy’s uncle Mo yelled. now Sammy, I know that I asked you and your friends to be in my new movie. But if you’re going to jump out of your shell and interrupt every scene, we’re never going to finish making it.

I’m sorry uncle Mo, it was an accident. I reached over to grab the clip board and it fell. I wasn’t scared, honest, Sammy answered him. Sammy’s uncle patted his head and smiled.

Don’t be ashamed to admit that you’re scared Sammy. Only cowards are ashamed. now why don’t you and your friends go over to the lunch table. I’ll let you know when I need you kids again, he added before he walked off yelling at the light crew.

Hey! Way to go Sammy! That was my best take—

Yah after we had to redo it twice because you kept dropping the dumb ax handle! Daisy interrupted Tommy laughing.

I still can’t believe that we’re going to be in a real horror film. I can’t wait until it comes out. we’ll be the talk of the town, Puppy added.

Yah the talk of the town, Sammy mumbled.

Hey I thought you’d be more excited than that. What’s the matter? She asked him.

I just thought that my uncle would stop thinking that I’m such a scaredy cat about everything.

But you are! Tommy interrupted laughing.

Funny, I’m starting to think that the only reason he even asked me to be in his movie was to just prove how scared I am of them. I just wish that there was a way that I could prove to him that I’m not the scaredy cat he believes I am, Sammy sighed.

Puppy was about to answer him when Sammy’s uncle walked over towards them.
Okay kids I won’t be needing you any more today. Why don’t you all head out home and get some rest. tomorrow is going to be a very exciting day.
Right, birthday boy? he said winking in Sammy’s direction. I’ll see you all tomorrow, then he walked off before any of them could answer.

The next day they all piled into the limo that Mo had sent over for them. A few minutes later the driver pulled up to the movie studio front door, Got out and opened the door for them.
Welcome and happy birthday mister Samuel! He smiled.

Umm, thanks, Sammy mumbled. is my uncle already here?

Ignoring Sammy’s question the driver added, Please follow me.

It was really nice that your uncle stopped filming so we can have your party inside the studio, Vicky told Sammy as they all followed the driver inside the back lot.

Yah but I wonder who that guy is, I don’t remember seeing him before, Sammy answered her back.

After a few minutes Tommy asked the driver, Excuse me, but where are we going? But the driver just ignored him and stopped in front of an old faded door and opened it, then told them, Please go in.

Umm, this room looks pretty empty, are you sure this is the right place? Why would my uncle want us to wait for him in here? Sammy frowned.

I don’t know sir, I was only instructed by mister Mo to bring you kids here then leave, the driver answered.

Leave? Daisy frowned. But instead of answering her he quickly turned around and slammed the door in their faces.

Hey! What’s the big idea! Open the door and let us out of here right now! This isn’t funny! Tommy yelled. can you believe that creep just locked us in here!?

Yah, but where’s here? Puppy added as she and the others adjusted their eyes and looked around the old movie set.

This must be some kina of joke. I bet that my uncle just paid that guy to scare us. I’m sure he’ll let us out any second now! Sammy laughed. A few minutes later he started pounding on the door. Okay uncle Mo! You had your fun you can let us out now!

Umm Sammy, I don’t think this is a prank, Vicky told him.

But it has to be! Why else would that jerk just lock us in here if it wasn’t a joke? Sammy cried out.

Joke or no joke, I think I just found a way out of this sink hole, Tommy interrupted.

They quickly followed Tommy towards the back of the set and towards the exit door.

Oh great! This just leads to some sort of stupid costume room Sammy whined.

Oh wow! Look at all this stuff. it looks like it hasn’t been used in years, Daisy told them as she began going through the racks of dusty old clothes. Vicky was about to answer when an old pale looking creature stepped out from the far corner. The two creatures were all dressed in black and the male creature had a bloody scar on the right side of his face.

Finally he’s here. we can finish our movie now! The male creature hissed as he and the other creature slowly made their way towards them.

Oh yes! We’ve been waiting for a very, very long time, especially for you, the female creature pointed at Sammy.

Huh? Umm, we really don’t want to bother you, but we don’t know who you are or what you’re talking about, we just want to find a way out of here, Daisy answered them.

We’re the accident ones who have waited a long time for you to come back and finish making our movie.

Are you two nuts!? Did my uncle put you up to this? I don’t want to be in your stupid movie! Sammy cried out.

You’re not going anywhere! They both hissed with their arms stretched out.

Get away from me! Sammy yelled. then as he began to back away from them he tripped over a piece of curtain making it come crashing down.

SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Rang out from all over the place.

Huh?

The male creature suddenly busted out laughing.
Oh wow! Look at their faces! I think we sort of over did it! They look scared to death.

Mo! You and your bright idea. not everything has to be a horror movie plot! Look at him, he looks like he’s about to have a panic attack or something.

Aww mom! please don’t make a big deal, I knew it was a joke all along. We were just going along with it. now can we just not talk about it anymore and just open up my presents, Sammy whined.

Two days later the gang was walking around.
Oh wow! I’m sure glad that we don’t go to this school cause this place is beyond creepy, Sammy was telling them as they walked down the hallway passing the principal’s office.

Umm, excuse me, but can any of you tell me how to get to the lunchroom? Are you guys in the next scene too?

Huh? Who us? Nah we are just waiting for my uncle Mo to finish filming for the day, Sammy answered her.

Mo’s your uncle? It must be cool having an uncle who is a movie director. I’m Blue. my friends and I are extras in your uncle’s movie. that’s if I can find them, she smiled.

Yah, but sometimes it’s not so great. come on, we’ll walk you over. So do you and your friends live around here? Sammy asked.

No the next town over, Blue answered. I’m surprise that your uncle is even using this old place for the set of his movie. Especially after what happened.

Umm not really sure what you mean, what happened? I think we just figured it’s always been around, Daisy shrugged.

It all started when the town decided to build a bigger school. But little did anyone know when they built it that they built it on top of a graveyard. And the dead weren’t happy about being disturbed and removed out of their resting place.

The gang just looked at one another, then waited for Blue to continue.

One day when the senior class were all inside the gym the dead kids got their revenge. First they locked all the doors and windows so none of them could escape, then one by one they slowly started killing them. And since there was no way anyone could get in to help them the only thing they could do was just stand outside the doors listening to their screams. after that they closed down the school never to be open ever again, Blue sobbed.

And you actually believe that stupid story? Tommy frowned. Blue was about to answer him when a voice cried out from behind, Hey! There you are! I’ve been looking for you all over.

Oh hey! I want you to meet Sammy and his friends, his uncle’s the director. I was just telling them the school history, Blue smiled.

Oh Blue I can’t believe that you told them that stupid story. Anyway, Mo asked me to come look for you, he’s ready for us.

They all walked over to the lunch room where some of the other kids were sitting and laughing. Mo was about to yell out some last minute instructions when one of the kids suddenly cried out, Oh eww! Gross! There’s an eyeball inside my salad!

A few minutes later they were all talking outside the parking lot.
Why’d anyone do something so gross as to put an eye ball in a salad? Vicky frowned.

That’s exactly what I’m going to find out. I don’t think those kinds of pranks are in any way near funny, Mo frowned.

Puppy was about to answer him when a skull suddenly popped out of the ground.

Maybe Blue wasn’t lying about this school being haunted, Vicky shrugged.

Haunted? There’s no such thing. the only haunting that’s going to happen are the ones that my movie is going to give out. When it’s done! I’m pretty sure it was one of the crew or someone on the set only pulling a stupid prank, Mo laughed.

A few minutes later they were walking through the school’s hall when they started hearing footsteps behind them.

Umm I don’t think this is such a great idea, Daisy whispered over to them.

Now, now, let’s not get our imagination all going kids. let’s just keep moving, Mo answered.

Where are we going any ways? Vicky asked.

And before Mo could answer her a loud laugh rang out from down the hall. They quickly turned around but there wasn’t any one behind them.

What was that? Puppy asked as they all looked around the empty hallway.

I don’t know but it sounded like it came from one of the classrooms, Mo answered her. let’s go check it out.

The gang slowly followed Sammy’s uncle inside the dark classroom. then after flicking on the light switch he told them, You see kids, there’s nothing here but just some overthrown desk...

... and some creepy kid just staring out the window with his back towards us, Puppy interrupted.

Mo walked over towards him. Okay son, the joke’s over. He went over to grab his arm but it just crumbled into sand.

Oh my god! Uncle Mo can we please get out of there like now! Sammy cried out.

No! Nobody is going anywhere! Until I get to the bottom of this! Ghost or no ghosts are going to stop me from making this film, Mo answered. He then went to open the door but it wouldn’t open.

Oh great! The door won’t open.

What!? Uncle Mo if you’re trying to pull another prank on us I don’t think it’s very funny! Sammy cried out.

Sammy how many times do I have to tell you that I’ve nothing to do with this. Now help me open the door.

Yah and kids just disappear into thin air for no reason, Sammy mumbled as he slowly walked towards his uncle. When they busted out of the room the floors of the hallway were all covered with smelly goo.

Oh gross! What is that smell? Daisy cried out.

I don’t know but it’s all over the place, Puppy answered her.

Well, I've had enough of all this! I’m going to find out what’s going on and I’m going to find out right now! Mo frowned.

When they walked into the lunchroom it was filled with deadly looking kids
What’s the meaning of this!? Where’s my crew? Mo frowned.

Blue gave out an evil laugh before she answered him. We tried to warn you Mo not to use our home as your playground. To believe in us while making your movie, but you just wouldn’t listen. And now we’ll make you one of us!

Mo started to back away when Sammy suddenly blocked his path.

Sammy what do you think you’re doing? Mo cried out.

One of us, Sammy hissed in a spooky zombie tone of voice.

Sammy? Why are you talking like that? What’s wrong with you? Mo mumbled. Sammy reached out and touched him on his shell but Mo shrugged it off,
Get away from me! Sammy went to reach out again but he busted out laughing.

Gotcha! You should’ve seen the look on your face! It was classic. I finally turned the great horror film maker prank back on him! Sammy laughed.

Huh? You mean this was some kind of joke? Mo frowned. you were the one who was behind all of this? This whole time?

Sammy proudly smiled, Yah but I couldn’t have done it without the rest of the gang’s help.

Well done Sammy my boy, I’m very proud of you. it took lots of guts to have pulled this off. You nearly gave your poor uncle a pure heart attack! Mo laughed.

Later that day Mo walked over towards them and said, Well it’s a wrap up! The film is done.

They followed Mo to one of the class rooms so he could show them the finished movie. He turned off the lights and turned on the film but it only showed pictures of an empty school.

Huh? Where’s my film? He cried out.

Maybe there’s something wrong with the film, Sammy shrugged.

Or maybe we really are all just a bunch of real ghosts! Puppy added laughing.

Mo just shook his head as he left the room with a confused look on his face. When he left the gang started to high five each other. Oh that was awesome! Did you see the look on his face before he left? He looked like he was about to faint, Daisy laughed.

Yah I wonder how long it’s going to take him to realize that he’s truly one of us! Sammy answered her back with an evil smile on his face.
