This is one of the best Halloween stories online about Jay and his family. They are getting ready for Halloween. Jay’s mom is on the steps. She’s making a Halloween costume for Jay. Jay and his dad are decorating the front porch. There is a scarecrow on the swing, spiders in the corner, and paper bats hanging from the ceiling.
Now, it is time to carve jack-o’-lantern. They cut out the top, pull out the seeds, and finally cut out the face. There are two circle eyes, a triangle nose, and three square teeth. They put the jack-o’-lantern on the table on the front porch next to a big, scary bowl of candy. But, Jay’s mom and dad tell Jay, “You can have only one piece of candy each day!” Jay is not happy.
