The names Melvin,... Melvin Murdoch

Murdoch Matinee is about a Serial killer who enjoys watching Movie's about his murders. He's killed hundreds of people and most of the deaths were by decapitation. He removes the top of the skull and uses the head as a Popcorn bowl. He even pays an extra $12.00 for his Phantom Date.

Spooky! So I guess his count is about to go up by a couple. This was one of those stories that reminds me why I don't ride with strangers, even if my car breaks down.

I hope you do well in the contest my friend.

Awesome story OrangeJuice. I think I'll have some popcorn now. How was your story inspired? It is a good one.

Wow! Now that is a good scary story. Makes me hungry for a big bowl of movie theatre popcorn!

Great story OrangeJuice! Nice addition with the skull

Looking forward to writing with you some more in the future!
