Prompt

You have been waiting for the Carnaval del Horror for a whole year and on the night of Halloween, the carnival crew finally hit the town. The posters promised a lifetime of thrills where magic and horror would take reign at nightfall and as a lover of all things horror, you can't miss out. At the carnival, you and your friends decide to start with the mock-up spooky graves.

The caretaker warns you to remain silent as you take a stroll through the graveyard lest you wake the dead. After all, it is Halloween, a night where the veil that separates the world of the living and the dead is at its thinnest. However, when a colony of bats come flapping at you from out of nowhere, you can't help but scream. 

Suddenly, there are scratching sounds emanating from the ground and when you all look down, you notice the dead are waking up and their costumes seem too real
