    Hello #KidsHorror Lovers👻☠️🧟🧛🏼‍♂️🧙🎃

    HAPPYYY HALLOWEEN!

    Here's a (quite scary) horror story for those 10+ (or parents, guardians ...listen first!) all about

    THE HAT MAN.

    It is Inspired by a nightmare my daughter had when she was 2 ..ish ...and all she could say was....'Man....Man...Hat man....Black Hat' - it terrified me that she thought a man in a black hat had been staring at her for half the night as she was paralysed in her cot. And so. This story...brewed.

    Trigger warnings include...
    Peril, Danger of soul being taken, Children being naughty. Child in peril, Paralysis, Whimpering child, Stair Stomping, Gurgling Tummy, Threat from an entity, scary deep voices (manipulated pitch).

    The narrator is speaking as if in the house in which this story takes place. Shut your eyes...be brave, and see....the story...

    The message to be kind is universal. Maybe do something kind every day to keep the HAT MAN away....

    And it goes without saying that

    I hope none of you get a visit from

    THE HAT MAN

    Feel free to review these BOGEYS AND GHOULIES STORIES or ping any artwork or your own stories inspired by this one to

    [email protected]

    All Sound effects were made by me or are Creative Commons 0 from free sound.org.

    To enjoy

    This kids gentle comedy horror story - THE GHOST WHO LOST THER SCARE???

    Join the Screamdents at the Great British Scare Sghoul on an original adventure by Sarah Golding (28% scary) AND NARRATED BY Fiona Thraille (30% scary😎) with BOO! The scariest ghost in the sghoul(98% scary) - summoned to the Giant Head Teacher's (Karim Kronfli )(48% scary) office (in total darkness, no...candles...allowed) After being talked to by the coolest meanest Head Ghoul (Meabh De Brun) (33% scary) and her demons, Red, and Blue, Boo whizzes on their way to ....possibly try to scare the Head Teacher. On the way, Boo's darker, naughtier conscience - Blue Boo - speaks, and....they fall out, and the Blue Boo leaves...to cause chaos in another part of the sghoul.

    There's a dark dark blue bluer than blue itself (SCREAM) vortex that has started to swallow up the school - and all of year 5, the prefects and...everyone - and Boo knows who exactly is to blame.

    Can Boo work with all their other inner thoughts - Happy, Energetic, Tired, Silly and Loving to save the school, and ..themselves? Listen and...FIND OUT!

    Thanks to Fiona, Karim and Meabh for jumping on to play such wonderful fun characters, and to the students - screamdents? of St Clement Danes School for doing some of the walla and crowd scenes. Such fffunnnnn!

    WE WOULD LOVE to have your artwork inspired by any of the characters - the giant and their office, the head ghoul and her demons, the narrator - all of the Boo's!! The first years fainting, Blue Boo in the - you know what its called - (scream) vortex attaching folks to the far away growing glowing blue walls of doom, the school custard evaporating, the suitcase opening - oh wait - thats in part two!!

    Feel free to send us any - or even your own thoughts or scripts on what happened next or before or inbetween (What DID the head teacher chat to the Head Ghoul about in the corridor existing outside of time and space that was a plot hole that was never explained?)
