Andy and Paul are walking home as usual. But tonight their walk home seems strange. There are odd lights, and a weird howling noise coming from an old house. Oh, and it's Halloween. What is going on?

"Maybe it's a dog," said Paul, trying not to be scared.
"It must be in trouble. Let's go and see," said Andy.

They passed through the old rusty gates and crept along the path towards the door of the house. It was so dark that they could hardly see. The wind whistled through the trees. Again they heard the low howling sound, coming from the house.
Oooooh! Oooooh!

"I don't think it's a dog," said Andy.
"You're just a scaredy cat!" said Paul.
"Come on, let's go inside."

They went up the stairs and pushed open the front door. It creaked loudly and fell open with a bang. The air felt cool and clammy and creepy. Paul walked into the hallway. An enormous spider's web hit him in the face and he screamed.
"Aaagh!"
"It's only a spider's web," said Andy.
