"What are you guys dressing up as for Halloween?" Richie looked at his group of friends. They all looked up at him and their faces turned up in thought.

"Ben and I are going as a Zombie bride and groom," Beverly told the rest. Ben nodded in agreement and wrapped his arm around Beverly's shoulder. 

"I'm thinking a demonic prisoner" Mike responded. The others nodded in approval.

"I'm going as an insane doctor. Richie's my worked on patient" Eddie added with a smirk. "I thought of it myself!" 

"I'm going as a skeleton," Bill told the others. 

"And I'm going as a ghost" Stan added.

"Please tell me you're not just throwing a sheet over your damn head and calling it a day" Richie mumbled at Stan. Stan just shrugged and smiled at him. The others laughed.

Halloween finally came and they all met up in the middle of town. They went to as many houses as they could to gather as much candy as their bags would hold. They then went to Bill's house for a sleepover due to the fact Bill's parents wouldn't be home until the following night. They all made their beds on the living room floor and laid around watching scary movies together all night.

They woke up to find something different about themselves. They had left their costumes on all night out of pure laziness to change. 

Richie was the first to wake up with pain flooding his body. He looked around at his friends. Their costumes seemed far more real than they did the night before. He raised an eyebrow then winced heavily. 

"Ow! Fuck!" Richie looked down at his arms and noticed that the part of his arm he had colored with body paint to represent a piece of arm that wasn't his was no longer just paint. The fake stitches were very real. Richie realized many parts of his body were the same and there were open wounds and blood all over him. "G-G-Guys!" 

Mike sat up and opened his eyes. He had taken his black colored contacts out the night before. Now, his eyes were completely black.

Eddie sat up and looked at Richie, a smirk slowly spreading across his face as he looked at his masterpiece. Richie noticed the look on his face.

"E-Eds?" He asked softly. 

Before Eddie could answer, Bill sat up. His skin was falling off his body and he was only bones. Richie screamed and backed away from him quickly.

That's when Beverly and Ben started to move and groan from their sleeping bags.
