Waking from the aftermath of Halloween feels like having a hangover - a sugar hangover. Yet, I'm still determined to record the events of this year's Halloween.

So, as you may know of you watch my vlogs, I like to scare the living crap out of Daniel. I don't know why, I just do. It's funny! Now, as you can imagine, Halloween was going to be special; it turns out that it was the day that Daniel was planning his revenge.

However, that comes a little later in our series of horrifying events. First, it was my turn to see how many times I could scare him in one day...

It all started because Daniel was holding a large bag of candy to pour into a pumpkin-looking bowl to hand out to kids, it was way too tempting to scare him - so I did. I switched my camera on, crept up behind him and screamed loudly in his ear, causing him to scream and jump back. The candy flew everywhere.

"Happy Halloween." I said as I gave him a little kiss.

"Oh my God, tell me you're not going to do this all day." Daniel groaned.

A grimace slowly crept onto my face, for I knew exactly what to do: the exact opposite of what Daniel told me not to do. But, no ordinary scarings would work for this was Halloween, which means I needed to get creative.

So, I looked at the decorations that Daniel got (he really gets into decorating for holidays) and got a brilliant idea when I found a human sized coffin. I ran upstairs and put on a black cloak that was part of my Vampire Temp outfit for MyMusic because I had to at least dress up a bit. I set up a hidden camera, got inside the coffin and texted Daniel saying I found something weird in the coffin and wanted him to take a look at it. As soon as I saw light entering I knew that Daniel was opening the coffin and I jumped up at him whilst yelling.

You should have seen the look on his face.

Priceless.

Later into the day it got dark, so I decided - while Daniel was out - to put some glow in the dark face paint on and turn off all the lights. He came him and found me standing opposite the door as afar away from it as I could get. He screamed and ran for the light switch. I don't think I've ever seen someone move so fast, I was laughing so hard I was in tears.

But then, Daniel exacted his revenge.

We went to this Halloween party a little bit later with a bunch of my friends and there was a haunted house. Little did I know that Daniel had contacted all of them and asked them to help scare me - and they all agreed, what nice friends I have. The house was supposed to be just creepy looking, there wasn't supposed to be jump scares, but Daniel and my friends had made quite a lot of plans.

I went in with Grace, Mamrie, Colleen and Jenna. I tried to get Daniel to go with me, but he protested claiming it was too scary. I left him talking to Stacy and entered. On the first floor there was a lot of jump scares, practically every corner you turned, there were people everywhere dressed up as monsters. It was very bright and kind of fun.

However, on the second floor, it was dark and quiet - way too quiet - and I was expecting the jump scares by this point. But, because there weren't any, my mind started building up tension and I really started to freak out. Grace, Mamrie, Colleen and Jenna did not make things better, but hats off to them for their acting skills. But then we reached the last corridor, the floor boards creeked and all, and music started playing. It got mor and more intense, until a terrifying clown ran towards us with a knife. That scared the living shit out of me.

We reached the stairs go up to the next level, but I protested saying "I don't think I want to do this anymore." But, we did. We climbed the stairs while I made squealing and groaning noise to express my up most animosity towards this house. The third floor was a doll house. Fucking perfect. Dolls were aligned all round the edge of the room in a perfect square, yet they all felt like they were staring at me. There were also pieces of furniture under white sheets. What I didn't know was that Daniel was under one of them. But, he didn't go for a jump scare - oh, no - he went for a give me nightmares for the next week approach. There was a wardrobe that didn't have a sheet over it. All the dolls proceeded to say "open the wardrobe," so I slowly crept towards it. Tensions reaching an all time high as my shaking hands pulled back the oak doors. Inside was a note written in blood - lovely - it read: "turn around." I froze for a moment, I hoped and wished that nothing was behind me. But, as I turned around, I found a horrifying skeleton mask about an inch away from my face.

And I shrieked.

I don't think I've ever screamed so loudly. Of course, it was Daniel, who began laughing in hysterics, followed by the girls. As we walked back down through the house, Daniel explained his master plan to me. The clown turned out to be Tyler who met us on the second floor. Those on the first floor were also a bunch of my friends - Meghan, Sawyer, Connor, even Gigi, etc. - and the worse surprise of all was that there were cameras everywhere recording the entire thing.

Just fucking perfect.

We went home and snuggled up on the couch watching Halloween films and eating far too much candy. And I know what you're thinking, but after that haunted house I needed it. I turned to him and asked "Truce?"
"Truce." He replied and kissed me, marking the beginning of peace. Well, that is until I decided to prank him again.

Just kidding!

Or am I?

Muwahahaha!
