For the past several years, Message Board members have collaborated on writing a Halloween story. Each person participating writes a section of the story and then hands it on to the next one in line and at the end there is a complete story. We post each section daily so that you get to read it in a serial format.

[txmatt]

Wow! How cool! Thanks Ms. Mod!

[arista]

Happiness in anticipation of reading the much waited for Halloween story!! I can't wait.

[Jaedpact]

This sounds like an amazing adventure!

[Kim L.]

This sounds like an amazing adventure!

Oh, that sounds like so much fun! Gee, I knew I loved October!

[Matticus]

I'm so excited this thread is here. The Halloween story this year is really good and I appreciate all the writers so much. We've been working on it for months!

[rose key]

first!




No, you didn't. No, you did not. :biggrin2:

That's the first "first" I've seen on the MB.
Congratulations.

Oh yeah, and,
Halloween story!!! Yay!!!

I couldn`t understand if you need to be invited to write a part of the story - thus, I didn`t write anything.

But, since my b-day is on Devil`s Night (one day before Halloween) I`m sure something will happen(not scary and really good) and I`ll have a story anyway...:biggrin2:

[Nero]

No, you didn't. No, you did not. :biggrin2:

That's the first "first" I've seen on the MB.
Congratulations.

ROFL YES somebody recognizes it!

haha, ive been trying to do it on new people's profile messages too haha

[Jaedpact]

LOLs, Nero plus 15 internets to you good sir!

[mojomofo]

Fantastic beginning Darkwriter, I can't wait for the next installment!

[arista]

The story is starting off well..I can't wait!!

[JohnDalglish]

Hi,

Great to see the first part up, and a terrific start Darkwriter.

And kudos big-big to the unsung hero in the entire production - Matticus!

Long days and pleasant nights

[Spideyman]

The talents of the SKMB shine. Happy Halloween 2009

[Sugar Marie]

As soon as I read "Marysville Institution for the Criminally Insane", I grinned in anticipation.
Great start, DarkWriter!

[Srbo]

Great beggining, Dark Writer.

Thanks a bunch.

[Haunted]

Dark Writer, you wonderfully described the atmosphere and the dread that hangs over the old asylum.

Staropeace, you gave a warm respite from the grimness of DW's start.
I really believe that some lightness from time to time is needed in a horror tale in order to give the reader a chance to catch her breath! (Of course, then she lets down her guard.) :biggrin2:

All in all, you have got my attention.

Thank you for your efforts.:biggrin2:

[DarkWriter]

Thank you all. I appreciate your kind words.
However, I am but a lowly rung on the ladder that built this story.



If you see a masked, blood soaked figure and it's not Halloween...RUN

[Matticus]

It just keeps getting better! And thanks John, I had a great time putting it together with you guys.

[DarkWriter]

And kudos big-big to the unsung hero in the entire production - Matticus!


Matt, you and your wife have kept us on track and smoothed out the bumps in the road. Even with a new job you found time for the story. You are both truly--as John has stated--unsung hero's.
Your the best. :y:

[DarkWriter]

Way to go Star.

[staropeace]

THanks very much.

[su_joaninhas]

How can I be part of it? *yay* :D

[Natjen24]

Staro and DarkWriter.. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Wonderfully written :)

[Spideyman]

Dark Writer and Star- you have both done a excellent intro and part to the Halloween Story. Way to Go!!

And say true Matt, you had a lot on your plate as the story began, yet you held it all together. From idea, to conception- through glitches to completion, you held the writers to the path. Great job , Matt!

[psj77]

This is great! I can't wait too see what happens next...Oh wait I know what happens next I took part. The next thing that happens is...you get trickedhere, then you get a treat tomarrow when the next part of the story comes out.:biggrin2:

[bopropadop]

Thanks for great beginning Darkwriter and Star! I'm on the edge of my seat...

[arista]

Darkwriter and Star you have kicked the show off with a bang!! I am so into this story great job!!!! I can't wait for next installment..Annie Wilkes would be envious.

[Perse Jr.]

This has been a wonderful experience. The "story" group is always my first stop when I log on, and I'm so thankful to have been (and continue to be) part of this project.

...cannot wait for the ending...though I don't want to "rush" it either...

[Bryan James]

...cannot wait for the ending...though I don't want to "rush" it...

Good news, as I don't know the ending either.

~BJS

P.S. There might be two.

[Terry B]

Nicely done to all involved. I wish I had a talent like that.

[Srbo]

Staro and Kisun, thank you su much.

It`s simply fantastic.

[Lily Sawyer]

This is quite surreal, since I haven't written my piece yet. I've seen the 2009 story unfold behind the scenes, and now it's all real and stuff out here in the open.

I feel like I'll be writing naked at a desk out in front of eveyone now!! :eek2:
Scary thought.
Better go find that robe.

[Haunted]

Kisun--the headache was good stuff and the bricked up rooms!!!!! What atmosphere!!!

And I wanted a cigarette too!!!! I haven't smoked in over...well...long time.

[bopropadop]

Great job, Kisun! Nice and creepy!

[jenboxer77]

This is such a wonderful idea! The story is great so far and I can't wait to see how it turns out! It sets the perfect tone to Fall and Halloween! Thanks to all the creative talents and members who came together to make this happen!

[Kymatty]

one question, why would Karen have the password to the computers when she just walked into her first day of work?

Other than that, kudos! I can't wait to find out why the rooms are bricked up!

[Spideyman]

Great job writers! This is going to be a special Halloween for the SKMB.

And for those with questions concerning the story line.... read on:wink2:

[PatInTheHat]

Rrroowww now that's Ssssmmokin'!!!!

YOU are going to be just fine:wink2:!

[Bryan James]

one question, why would Karen have the password to the computers when she just walked into her first day of work?


It's an asylum for the "Criminally Insane," so there would probably be a deep background check for a new employee along with some related administrative housekeeping. Protocol basics, a network password, a handbook, that sort of thing. Anyway, the computer system doesn't seem to have much of a role so far, and we're almost done. Suspend your disbelief, as there are goods a-come.

[Jaedpact]

Hey did you guys know that I am actually a nurse, and have actually worked in Laugh factories like this one before? I would loved to have seen some real world detail thrown in there. For instance Nurses don't wear scrubs or whites in Insane assylums, It wigs out the residents. Yes residents, most of the Crazies are wards of the state and the hospitals to which they are interned are considered a place of resident for them. I mean the drug cocktails etc. I might just try to draft up a short story of my own... never tried it but it wounds like it could be fun...

[Natjen24]

Kisun, Matt! After reading it again, kudos! Really kudos to you two..
:)

[Matticus]

I had a welcome packet that included initial passwords when I started at the bank all those many years ago.

[Kymatty]

ok, but, that is still gonna bug me. I wouldn't be giving a new employee the password to my computer system til her first day, admin stuff of not. Sorry to be a pain, it's just one of those things...

[Bryan James]

ok, but, that is still gonna bug me. I wouldn't be giving a new employee the password to my computer system til her first day, admin stuff of not. Sorry to be a pain, it's just one of those things...

Low-level account, and it's a closed network within the facility...but like I said, I don't expect the computer system to be a major player in this game. We still have some writers burning synapses, so I might be wrong....

[constantreader1313]

This story is great! I can't wait to see how the story will twist and turn with all these terrific writers floating around this board!

[arista]

You guys are a rockin' Keep em coming!!

Maybe the Senior Staffers ain't "All There"! Shitt, next thing ya know they'll be giving her the keys to locked doors!

[Haunted]

Matt-In a few words you were able to sum up both characters. Shy, tentative new nurse with the older, more experienced and jaded head nurse.
Also the disregard the head nurse has for the receptionist indicating some kind of power struggle there.

I thought it most ironic the factual contrast you drew between smoking tobacco and chewing it. Also you described well the grimness of the places that smokers are now relegated.

Grear submit.

[bopropadop]

You guys are a rockin' Keep em coming!!

Yes, they are! Thanks for today's installment, Matt! Love the chaw chewin' scene. Sometimes horror comes from unexpected places... :smile2:

[kisun]

ok, but, that is still gonna bug me. I wouldn't be giving a new employee the password to my computer system til her first day, admin stuff of not. Sorry to be a pain, it's just one of those things...

That's the point. She wouldn't have the passwords, they didn't expect her to have to passwords, yet she still got a message on a closed network addressing her. It's supposed to not make sense.

And thanks for the praise, ya'll :biggrin2:

[Balrog21]

Yep, a great start! I am not looking back at the group where all the installments are. It's a great idea and I highly suggest to all who wrote. It breathes new life into the story once again! Great Job to all involved! I look forward to each installment daily now. Aww heck, I am hooked. :smile2:
Best,
Bal

[TBlack]

Sheesh Ms. Mod!
Remember the first time we did this?
We had an hour to figure what we wanted to say... beat it out on a drum... you received it all & chisled it into a rock & hung it up in the Town Common?
This one ran rather smoothly (I can say that `cuz all I did was bang out 500 wurds)
My compliments to the Editor!
"All Hail DiploMatticus!"
Sorry Emperor Nero!

[Moderator]

That's one case where I'm glad not to be back in the good old days. :smile2:

I read that as Metaphor... made me laugh a great deal. This story thing is awesome!!!

[Jaedpact]

OMFG Lobotomy Theater!!!!! YES!!!

[arista]

This installment today adds a whole new horror aspect...YEAH GUYS!!!

[Nero]

YESSSSSSSSSS
lobotomies omfg weeeeeeee!!

[Haunted]

Well, Sam Peebles, you really ratcheted it up another notch or two, didn'tcha?:biggrin2:

Sub-basements in a building originally built in 1889, tunnels from that basement to other houses on the grounds, Angela's familiarity with the keys, faulty lighting and then, by golly, a lobotomy theatre!!!

YESSIREEBOB.....Lead on....

Great job!!!

Progress! A wonderful thing. Still, if we didn't have teething pains, we wouldn't grow teeth! :biggrin2:

I am enjoying the story so much, well done everybody! And a big thank you to Matt and his wife for their hard work. :y: :smile2:

[Natjen24]

Sam, awesome!! Really good job, Can't wait to see where this theatre is taking us ;)

[bopropadop]

Great job with today's installment, Sam Peebles! I love the transition into the sub-basement with it's infinite possibilities. Can't wait for tomorrow's piece...

[Srbo]

Matt and Sam - awesome jobs.
The story just keeps getting better and better.:smile2:

[Mookie]

Great job to all of you who have contributed to the Halloween story. It flows seamlessly. I can't wait to read the next installment.

[Natjen24]

Patricia, again well done!!
It's been a while since I've read and I like discovering it all over again.

[Nero]

You guys are doing an epic job of keeping it fluid, it feels almost like 1 person wrote the whole thing so far.

Thank you for the great story thus far :D

[Haunted]

PatriciaA- I felt no interruption; nothing but a smooth seamless pickup from the prior writers.

Angela becomes more and more sinister and maybe indicates that she is abusive towards her patients.

That was great, succinct description of the lobotomy procedure. (A Truly barbaric practice. Reminds me of poor Rosemary Kennedy and her narrow- minded father, Joe. Although, you could say, some good came from that horrific act; the Special Olympics was formed in Rosemary's honor by her sister Eunice.)

Karen comes across as a damaged person but also a determined one. (Twelve-step program and pursuit of the mystery of Room 319.)

THANKS, PatriciaA!!

[arista]

Loved the last installment..You guys are awesome

We post each section daily so that you get to read it in a serial format.

How does someone go about getting in on such a project?

[Moderator]

This year a thread had been started in Chattery Teeth a couple of months ago (? not sure of the exact time frame) asking if anyone was interested in participating and then a Social Group was set up with Matticus as the coordinator.

[Srbo]

Patricia, thank you.
Splendid job! :smile2:

[bopropadop]

Patricia! Great job! Great story all around. I really enjoyed reading everyone's contribution this week.

[Dana Jean]

So, no story segments will be posted over the weekend?

[Moderator]

No, but I was planning to add another piece before the Board closes this afternoon and will probably post two on Tuesday when it reopens to make up for it.

[constantreader1313]

WowAptpupil! That part is amazing, I'm totally intrigued now!!!

[Haunted]

Well, Aptpupil, you've managed to create an even creepier atmosphere. (It is like each contributor peels off another layer of the asylum.)

You made me wonder did Karen actually synchronise her footsteps with Angela, or did Angela at that moment disappear?

And the two figures, one larger than the other, going through the wooden door; were they a ghostly orderly taking his patient for his lobotomy?

Aptpupil, thanks for your piece of the puzzle.:biggrin2:

[Natjen24]

Drew, I'll say it again.. you've delivered a terrific part, but to be honest I didn't expect anything less! :smile2:

[Matticus]

Even though I have already seen this, I am really loving watching the pieces come out on the board. The story is just amazing this year.

[Kymatty]

It's a cool story! Ms Tak huh!?!?!?! LOL

[arista]

Good job Cola..another interesting twist

[Natjen24]

Nikki, I'll keep saying it! Wonderful addition! Well done ;)

[Matticus]

They were sure having fun with it. :laugh:

My goal was to make sure the individual writing was preserved at all costs. I kind of felt like this was a great opportunity to showcase talent. Reminds me of a large graphic novel with different artists rendering the same overall story.

[Haunted]

Cola, thank you for further developing the other characters involved here and giving us a view of the friction between Ms. Sally and Angela. Ms. Sally hinted that Karen may be a very special addition to the asylum staff and will not take kindly to Angela's controlling manners. Ooooooo girl fight!!!!

Wonderful addition, Cola, thanks!!:biggrin2:

[Mookie]

The story keeps getting better and better. Great job to all.

[constantreader1313]

...and yet another twist, awesome! We need to keep an eye out for Angela now, hmmmm....

[Patricia A]

That's a really cool vision Matty. :idea:
Come to think of it, can anyone around here do illustrations,
mayhap a Patrick Danville in the house?

[boogerb53]

You guys are awsome! This story is killer good!

[Cola]

Thanks for the nice comments guys - it was great fun!!! - Matticus and the other writers made it so easy to do this year - and stress free too!!! :love:

[arista]

Great new installment..I am so enjoying this story...

[grmbl]

Can't wait to see what happens next! Hello btw, im new! :laugh:

[Mookie]

Once again, Great Job! Sounds like it's lobotomy time.

[Haunted]

Natjen-

With your words, Karen proves to be a resiliant, brave young woman. She's had quite a day but pushes (or is pushed) forward into the strange room. The old and decaying room as you describe is not one anyone would want to be in for any length of time and remain sane but she stays and observes.

Oboy, Oboy! Who was on the operating table and were they going to receive a lobotomy? Is this an apparation?

Raised my anticipation/fear level several notches.

Great job.

(Had never heard the second part of the cat and curiosity saying before. Cool!!)

Yep, raised my anticipation/fear level a few notches too, I think I actually felt my heart stop when she noticed the bed was not empty.....Love it!!!

[Mookie]

What a wonderful creepy job on that last installment. The whine of the drill, I could hear in my head. Can't wait to read the next one.

[Natjen24]

Beowulf, well done!! :)

[Cola]

Well done Nat!!!!! - :love:

[Mookie]

Once again great job! The story flows seamlessly, as always. Poor Mr. Miller sure had a rough time.

[arista]

Tblack..you did wonderfully

[jenboxer77]

TBlack, all that blood and gore, very nice touch! Just wat the doctor ordered! :laugh:

[Haunted]

Beowolf

Whooooboy...There is nothing worse that a med type using a plural pronoun when doing something only to you!! The dental drill brought back not so long ago memories along with an accompanying odor, yech. She was drilling behind poor Mr. Miller's ear???

Truly grim. Thanks, Beowolf.

[Haunted]

Tblack:

Poor Mr. Miller on the table held captured and tortured by a mad woman who isn't even there when Karen tries to stop her!!!

'Twas truly gory and gross.:biggrin2:

Thanks

[aneaglesangel]

Ooooh...the agony...the suspense...it's keeeeelling me....

LOL, at least it's not as bad as The Green Mile, or Oh. My. God. The Dark Tower, LOL!

Great job guys, keep it coming at me, PLEASE!!!

[constantreader1313]

Oooooo, I need more...........
Thank you AngelZ for that amazing addition!!!

[arista]

You guys are just doing so well this year..I am on the edge of my seat...

[Mookie]

What an amazing group of talented writers there are, on skmb! I can't wait to read the next installment. Great job everyone.

[Natjen24]

Tblack and AngelZ, such wonderful additions. I've stopped reading after my part and love how this tale of horror is unraveling.

GIMME MORE!!

[Haunted]

AngelZ:

You have presented a very interesting twist here! The nurse from the ghostly room in the basement is all cleaned up and taking care of a stunned Karen along with Nurse Angela. Karen is restrained on a bed!!

Good twist!!

[Haunted]

Dana Jean:

The mysterious 'nutbin' in town has been rehabilitated without using local hands and Karen is hired by someone standing in line with her at the bank????

Kyle is skeptical and queries the internet to find out that the woman who had hired Karen killed herself years ago at the same 'nutbin'.

Wonderful hints here, Dana!!!

Thanks

[Secret Window]

The story is great and makes me want to know what happens next. You guys are very creative.

[Mary Strickland]

Excellent writing everyone. I read about two novels a week and all these pages are as good as, or better than anything else in print.
CONGRADULATE YOURSELVES!!!!!

[Spideyman]

Congrats to all the writers. This year the project has been such a pleasure and the story is unfolding giving us goosebumps and keeping us on the edge of our seats. Great job, everyone!

[JBee]

Wow, I haven't had a chance to read this yet, but it sounds great... I just don't know how I can read it? Any help for a newby? Thanks!

[Moderator]

There's a separate thread (http://www.stephenking.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15019) for the story.

[Haunted]

Kim L.

Well, girl, you had me clutching my chest while you were describing Angela's changing visage. Shapeshifter? Something more evil?

Who da' heck is the Head nurse? Someone has authority over the Bobbsey twins of sticking evil needles!!? What the heck kind of a place is this? Most interesting...

Is it Kyle on the phone?? AAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!

Bartender, pour me a brew while I light up my cigarrette. Phewwee!!!

Thanks, Kim.:biggrin2:

[Srbo]

Boy...all of you guys have such a talent for writing.

If you didn`t do it yet, sit down, write a novel and publish.

I don`t think for one sec that any of you who contibuted to the story would have a problem finding a publisher.

Thank you for the awesome work.:smile2:

[staropeace]

Wow

[marew1]

:smile2: Just read all the available installments. Everyone is doing a wonderful job. Thanks for putting me in the Halloween mood. Can't wait for future installments.

[Mookie]

Bravo! Bravo! Excellent writing as usual. All of you have such talent. I can't wait to read the next installment.

[JohnDalglish]

Hi,

Congrats and kudos to all the writers.

Great stuff, folks!

Long days and pleasant nights

[arista]

This story just keep getting more interesting./.. Good job guys

[Mookie]

Superb job on that last installment! As if Karen isn't going through enough, now she has a black menacing face coming through the wall. Spooky and creepy! I can't wait to read further and see just how Karen get's herself out of this latest scenario.

[mstay]

The story is great so far! I have to save up and read it in big chunks. I can't read a little piece every day. :smile2:

Thanks to all of you fro sharing your talent with us.

[constantreader1313]

We have such talented people on here, it's getting better every installment! Thank you guys for all your efforts!!!

[Natjen24]

:wow:

[Matticus]

The last piece of this story is officially written and I must say it is very well done.

[Mookie]

Just read installment #16 It's great! Impressive job.

[constantreader1313]

I love reading this story! I look forward to it every day and no one has disappointed me yet- excellent job everyone!!! :D

What's the timeframe for complete posting on the Main Board? Halloween is on a Saturday and the Board is usually frozen on the weekend.

It's my plan to post one every week day and two this Friday which should bring us up to the final installment (#24) on Friday the 30th.

If my math is right (I've never been good at math) my part will be the second Friday post this week. :eek2:

Why wait? You can sign up now for the Valentine's Day story by contacting Matticus. :smile2:

[arista]

You guys are such a day brightner..Gosh I hope that this turns out okay LOL LOL AS IF...:)

Great story! I agree, it does make for a great morning read. Fantastic job to allof you who have contributed and made this story possible.

OOOOO Love and blood....I am on my way there! Thanks Ms Mod! :blush:

[constantreader1313]

Excellent addition today, I was riveted!!! They're just not long enough, I NEED MORE!!!!!!!

[Moderator]

My apologies--I forgot to add a new section this morning but have just done so now. I will also be adding another by the end of the day as there will not be any posted over the weekend.

[Srbo]

Excellent addition today, I was riveted!!! They're just not long enough, I NEED MORE!!!!!!!

I second that.

[91rewoT]

Being new to the MB, this was my first "Halloween Story" - I read all of it in one sitting tonight! Very cool concept! As I went from one to the next, I felt a little bit as though I was sitting around a campfire with a bunch of friends...Can't wait to hear what's next!

[arista]

I really hope things turn out well for this lady and boyfriend LOL LOL....Maybe not

[Moderator]

My apologies to psj77 and patinthehat. I didn't make the cut-off for the Board closing on Friday afternoon so had added patinthehat's piece to the post for psj77 in order to have the two sections I'd promised. When I separated them out, the "thanks" didn't stay with the posts so it looks like no one had thanked them for their piece of the story.

[TBlack]

I love the sticcato beat to these stories we do here.
Everyone can't wait to get in there & twist the knife a little more.
It's a Round Robin multiple orgasm of short individual climaxes!:cool2::cool2::cool2:

[Mookie]

Every addition to the story is constantly impressive! It is hard to tell when one writer leaves off, and another begins; they are beautifully seamless.

[TBlack]

Mod? Is there some way you could link the writer's names to their profiles? I like to see who I'm reading.(Like flippin' the book over every now & again & sayin',"Hi Unka Steve! Thanks fer writin' that!":wink2:)

[Spideyman]

Shout out to all the writters- fantastic job and well done. First place I check to see who has done what to the characters. Goosebumps!!

Halloween Story 2009 - the story (http://www.stephenking.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15019)

Mod? Is there some way you could link the writer's names to their profiles? I like to see who I'm reading.(Like flippin' the book over every now & again & sayin',"Hi Unka Steve! Thanks fer writin' that!":wink2:)


Just realized that if I do that it will erase all of the Thanks that are attributed to that post so don't want to go back through but will add the link for the last set of posts. When the Valentine's Day story is posted, I'll be sure to do that from the start.

Bryan James, Well written, and exquisitely detailed.

[Sugar Marie]

That's exactly what I was thinking - WOW - it was just a really great, spooky story, everyone!
(and incorporating the Beam was inspired, Bryan James)

This year's story was an all around awesome tale put together seamlessly by our many talented fellow members. I toast you with my sippy cup!!!

[jenboxer77]

Loved it! Loved the ending! The tie-in to the Tower and Derry, the seven deadly sins! The poem, very clever Bryan! ;)

I often wonder if Sai King has read the story, or if he ever read a Halloween Story at all, for that matter. Would be interesting to know, wouldn´t it?

Btw, I don´t recall if I gave my opinion on the story, probably not here yet, so, congratulations to everyone, cause I think it is great. I had moments in which I thought 'how the hell are they going to finish this?', specially after my part, but you did an amazing job!

We will ask Marsha to tell him it is required reading and there WILL be a test,later. :laugh:
