Welcome to the Dark Side. These stories may contain almost anything; they're for a Halloween story event, so will have some spooky, creepy, or other Halloween connection. Since this event was inspired by Virago's comment about a story of hers that was maybe too creepy to post, expect the dark side. I'm sure there will also be stories that are light and cheery. But be warned: dark things* walk the night, and on All Hallows Eve, their power is at its greatest. Is your door locked?

* Ghosts, goblins, werewolves, vampires, politicians, trolls, editors, ghouls -- all sorts of scary creatures.
