"They're creepy and they're kookey.
Mysterious and spookey.
They're altogether together ookey.
The Addams Family.
The house is a museum.
When people come to see'em.
They really are a scre-am.
The Addams Family.
Neat
Sweet
Petite
So get a witch's shawl on.
A broomstick you can crawl on.
We're going to pay a call on.
The Addams Family."
Lyrics by Vic Mizzy
The theme for the Addam's Family
Yes, that's right....Halloween is upon us!
Let's get freaky!
Here are your options for the contest.
Option #1
Write a poem inspired by either
The Addam's Family
or
The Munsters
Option #2
Give me a spine tingling poem or SHORT story.
Include lost of characters and chill me to the bones!
(I do not want just gross gore, be creative..scare me)
You can do this, but it won't be easy, lol.
Option #3
The image at the top of the page consists of a Demoness
and some friends. There's a party at her place...
Tell me about it in a poem.
Use our imagination.
And for those that may bet a bit too freaky...mark it adult please 
Option #4
Write anything about Halloween.
What it means to you, how you celebrate it.
Something cute and lovely...just about Halloween.
And good luck!

Really cool Idea for a contest. I unfortunatly can't think of anything for it
I use to watch the Adams family and the munsters all the time but as for Halloween stuff I'm dry

LOl Well they are pretty much "halloween" everyday. So anything inspired by them would work I would think. If your muse sparks come back

This is a fantastic contest!!! I can't enter because my muse is too stupidly sweet for anything spooky, however, I think this is a great idea to get everyone in the mood for halloween!!!
