Hello Funny One here. It’s halloween soon. What are some good halloween stories. You can’t go wrong with Edgar Allan Poe, he’s obviously has done some great short stories. “The Pit and the Pendulum” The story is about the torments endured by a prisoner of the spanish inquistion. the prisioner is bound to a wooden board by ropes. He looks up in horror to see a painted picture on the ceiling; hanging from the figure is a gigantic scythe-like pendulum swinging slowly back and forth. The pendulum is unstoppable, sliding downwards and will eventually kill him. Or there’s the “The Tell-Tale Heart“. a man commits a murder and hides the body under the floorboards. Terrified by the violent beating of the heart, and convinced that the officers are aware of not only the heartbeat, but his guilt as well. He tells them to tear up the floorboards to reveal the body. Or there’s the poem “The Raven“. A man is remembering his the loss of his love, Lenore. A “rapping at chamber door” reveals nothing, but excites his soul to “burning”. A similar rapping, slightly louder, is heard at his window. When he goes to investigate, a raven into his chamber. It perches on a bust of Pallas above the door. The raven’s only answer is “Nevermore”. He wonders if God is sending him a sign that he is to forget Lenore. The bird replies again in the negative, suggesting that he can never be free of his memories. he asks the raven whether he will be reunited with Lenore in Heaven. When the raven responds with its typical “Nevermore”, he is enraged, and, calling it a liar and commands the raven to return to the “Plutonian shore”, but it does not move. The raven “still is sitting”on the bust of Pallas. His soul is trapped beneath the raven’s shadow and shall be lifted “Nevermore”. He has written many more stories and poems. There’s also a museum about him in Richmond, Virginia. Anyways I’ll leave it here for now.
