Halloween Front Porch

I looked up and saw the cauldron full of candy. I took a step up the porch, and my foot landed on a pad that activated a mechanism. All of a sudden a hand reached out from under a bush and nudged my shoe, then bats on zip lines flew over my head. The full moon shone overhead, clouds drifting past it in the cold autumn wind. A still figure sat at the top of the stairs. I walked up to the top. I grabbed some candy just as the monster yelled BOO! The sweet tarts in my hand flew out as I stampeded down the driveway. I have visited that house every Halloween after that.
