Welcome to my collection of spooky Halloween stories for kids! Before we dive in, make sure you’ve got a light on and you’re cozy and safe, snuggled up in bed or on the sofa with a grown-up. Get ready, our halloween adventure is about to begin…

Daddy is a zombie!

Zombie tag is my favourite game
I run and hide and call his name
“Daddy daddy, you won’t get me!”
Up stairs I run, did he see?

Into my bedroom, close the door
Hide under my bed, lay on the floor
Footsteps and growling, he’s getting near
My door swings open, daddy’s here!

Feet broke and bony, toe nails so long!
This can’t be daddy, where’s daddy gone!
I keep very quiet, the feet walk around
I keep very quiet, I don’t make a sound

If this is not daddy, who can it be?
My mother, my brother, a real zombie?
But zombies eat brains, and I like my head
So I keep very quiet, under my bed…

A moan and a groan, toys fall to the floor
A bang and a crash, a slam of my door
I’m locked in my room, I scream and I shout
“HELP it’s a zombie, get me out!

A hand reaches down, followed by a head
Bits of its brain fall next to my bed
He opens his mouth, I let out a scream
It’s teeth are all yellow, a tongue slimy green

The zombie is growling, it mumbles and speaks
“Uuuurrh…. it’s…. brains…. me…. eats….”
I close my eyes tightly, this game is not fair
This must be a dream, or a nightmare

My eyes slowly open, the zombie says “boo!”
Followed by “uuuurrh, I’ve found you!”
This game is so scary, but I love to play
The zombie was daddy, he got me today…

The End
