I couldn't not have been more taken with the tone you took here, the address of the reader can work so well in horror, and you execute it in true style from start to finish. The children dressing up, the reference to the well known legend playing in, combined with your vivid descriptions build a sense of suspense at what could be coming, and then the flipping of the scare has the perfect effect, ending with the sense of horror worthy of some of the greats. The lack of relief works so well in creating a new urban legend to haunt the minds of readers. Well written, as always, and so well put together, a very nice scary story!

The winners of round 11 have been announced and round 12 is out - really hope you'll be back to tackle to next one!
