It was only the beginning.
On the bottom of stairs railing, there was a festive jack-o-lantern tree. With candlesticks on top.
The ghost host spoke.
"More rapid than vultures,
the Mansion was changed,
adorned, and deranged."
The strange and unusual presents stacks like an entryway. The living vampire teddy was sat on a gift. I detected it on my right. It had a little fishing rod. There was a spider with a box to the end of it.
Really?!
I had to back away. My fear of night crawlers was known. If it's bigger, I don't know how to save myself from such a dreadful pest.
The present was lots of skulls had a gift tag. It reads:
Seasons Screamings!
It seems to me that the Pumpkin King was so busy. To scare the souls of anyone who came here.
Into the endless hallway, I noticed something peculiar.
The armor knight display had a Jack-o-lantern on top of it.
Jack-o-lanterns are a huge hit to the haunted mansion holiday.
At one side close, there are piles of bones in a black bowl. It says "ZERO" in captions.
And a mountain pile of bones too. With a black and white striped ribbons around them. The pink gift tag says "To Zero".
The ghost host mentions.
"And what, to your
wondering eyes, disappears,
is Jack's little friend Zero—
the ghost dog reindeer!"
One bone with a black and white striped ribbon. It was levitating.
And straight down far is what the ghost host just mentioned.
It's Zero!
He barks delightfully. Zero was saying hello. His Jack-o-lantern nose lits up.
I say hi back to the cute ghost.
And there are red flowers in a pot.
I was being moved on. Somehow.
The ghost host talks again.
"Nothing here was forgotten—
It all looks so pleasant.
'A coffin,' Jack says,
'makes a fine Xmas present.'"
He was laughing.
The doom buggy drove me to the conservatory. The plants all over the room was a good observance here.
There was a coffin indeed.
The bat bow was placed on top of it. The gift tag says.
DO NOT OPEN TIL CHRISTMAS!
To my bewilderment, the man in a coffin was trying to get out. He had efforts to lift the coffin lid. No wonder a poor guy can't get out. It was too heavy.
Let me out! Let me out of here!
There was a label on the toolbox.
Coughlin Nail Co.
Unbelievable.
Someone or somebody tried to nailed the guy down.
The ghost host warned me.
"A man-eating plant
makes a wonderful wreath,
As long as you don't get
caught in its teeth!"
The red singing flowers in a vase was there. Besides the coffin.
La, la, la,
La la la la
La, la, la, la, laa
La, la, la
La la la
La, la, la, la, laa
So catchy in the music beat.
It sounded like a song from the Disney animated film (my all-time favorite since childhood).
While riding along the Doom Buggy, I'm seeing more animated flowers and plants with eyes and mouths.
My body tells me that I'm about to see a Xmas wreath monster.
After passing several decorated doors, I glanced up.
The same red singing flowers. With a red bow under them.
And suddenly...
There was a man-eating wreath above. It got greenery vines coming out of it. One vine grasps the ceiling lights. And the other with something. I really don't know what it is. That wreath got eyes. Glowing in bright yellow and bright green. It only changes if the wreath blinks. For its center hole, that Xmas monster has teeth. It seems that possessed Xmas decoration could clutch you like an African strangler.
It missed me!
The portraits of guests of a Gracey Manor looked terrifying. The sign that read next to the hanged pictures.
Tomb Sweet Tomb
The gothic antique clock ticks and tocks limitlessly.
The time strikes 13.
There was a saying on the gift tag.
To Leota:
13 special gifts for you!
Sandy Claws
The ghost host told me.
"Jack's holiday vision
was unlike no other,
So ring out the bells!
There's more cheer
to uncover."
It was then...
I may entered into one room.
The room where the instruments floats are now the tarot cards.
The seance room with Madame Leota.
Do not worry, readers! The gypsy in a crystal ball is next!
