"Good evening listeners. As the sun begins to fall and the night is upon us, the horrors of this world and others around join us to dance in the night. You can hear the children begin to run through the streets, looking for goodies and treats. It's an innocent enough night, but what started this strange tradition of door to door hunting? We'll my friends, I'm here to tell a tale. Now many will tell you that it starred as a pagan harvest festival, but what if I said it all started long before any of that?"

"It was a late night when it all began. People had barely began to light fire, but our story doesn't focus on meer mortals of this realm. This all took place in a time when the rift between our world and the world's of monsters was thin. Thin enough for said monsters to break thorough. When the creatures found the low humans of our world, the found opportunity. They began to hunt us, we were easy prey, so easy that they began to play with their food. The lost appetite and just found pleasure in making us shake. All they needed was to know that they had total control over our fear and they were satisfied."

"Eventually however, their presents became second nature. Humans adapted to the creatures tricks and they were no longer a threat. They even began to mock the creatures through a tradition we've all done as children. They began dressing up letting them know we were not afraid. The creatures slowly disappeared and they became nothing more than stories. They were gone and the human race was safe again."

"Or was it? Though no one knows what happened to the rift between our world's. Was it sealed? I don't think so. The creatures are still here. They've just become invisible to our eyes. They're waiting for humans to become weak again, weak enough that they can push us back again, back to the cowering state that we were long long ago. You never know when they might strike again."

"Happy Halloween everyone. And as you go out, to run through the night, celebrating your night of horrors, remember that the creatures are waiting to celebrate again too. Your host wishes you all a good day, and implores you all to stay safe out there in the darkness of the night. Good night."
