costume

Describe your best or worst Halloween costume ever. Use lots of details and explain why it was so awesome or lame.
My Halloween costume was lame... I dressed as a girl... It was horible. I wore this little skirt that was really bright red and this nasty wig that was itchy and some glasses. Oh and these little shoes that hurt my feet. The sad part was no one really knew it was me because i was with a bunch of girls that were dressed up as princesses, it was bad. Yeah Im never doing that again...

Edgar Allen Poe

It seems like reading Edgar Allan Poe stories around Halloween is a rite of passage for students in English classes. He wrote poems such as "The Raven" and "Annabel Lee" and stories like "The Tell-Tale Heart", "The Black Cat", "The Fall of the House of Usher", "The Cask of Amontillado", "The Masque of the Red Death", "The Pit and the Pendulum", etc.If you have read Poe stories before, which ones have you read and what do you remember of them? Did you like them? How scary/creepy were they? Share your memories of you or teachers reading the works of Edgar Allan Poe.If you have not read Poe or don't remember, describe to me what you expect from a classic horror writer? What kinds of stories do you think we'll be reading? Have you ever read scary stories?
I have never hread any of his stories but they sound pretty awesome! I have not read other scary books or anyhing but i have watched some scary movies which i thought were really good. His stories i dont really expect them to be really scary or we probably wouldn't read them at school. I still think that i'll like them though.
