Well,it is finally October,and there are only thirty days left until Halloween.Halloween is my favorite holiday,even though Mom says I'm getting too old to go trick-or-treating anymore.Halloween is Dad's favorite holiday,too,but for a different reason.
On Halloween night,while all the other parents are handing out candy,Dad is hiding(躲) in the bushes with a big trash can(废物箱) full of water.And if any teenagers pass by our driveway,he makes them completely wet.I'm not sure Dad really understands the idea of Halloween.But I'm not gonna b
e the one who spoils(糟蹋) his fun.
Tonight was the opening night of the Crossland High School haunted house(鬼屋),and I got Mom to agree to take me and Rowley.Rowley showed up at my house wearing his Halloween costume(戏服) from last year.When I called him earlier I told him to just wear regular(普通的) clothes,but of course he didn't listen.
I tried not to let it trouble me too much,though.I've never been allowed to go to the Crossland haunted house before,and I wasn't going to let Rowley ruin it for me.My brother has told me all about it,and I've been looking forward to this for about three years.
Anyway,when we got to the entrance,I started having second thoughts about going in.But Mom seemed like she was in a hurry to get this over with,and she moved us along.Once we were through the gate,it was one scare(惊恐) after another.There were vampires(吸血鬼) jumping out at you and people without heads and all sorts of crazy things.
But the worst part was this area called Chainsaw Alley(电锯谷).There was this big guy in a hockey mask(曲棍球面罩) and he had a real chainsaw(锯子).My brother told me the chainsaw is not a real one,but I wasn't taking any chances.Right when it looked like the chainsaw guy was going to catch us,Mom stepped in and saved us.
Mom made the chainsaw guy show us where the exit was,and that was the end of our haunted house experience( 体验) right there.I guess it was a little embarrassing( 尴尬的) when Mom did that,bu
