Plans For Halloween (How to Scare People) By Sarah A. Davis Square Park

1. You can scare people by putting on a mask. That mostly works.
2. Pop out of a room when you see their shadow coming past the room.
3. Buy a kit of funny things that could scare people at the dollar store.
4. Attach a fake spider to a string and the string to a stick and put the spider in front of the person you are scaring, as if you are fishing.
5. Get a mask and put it on the window and when the person turns on the light, they will see the mask and get scared (at night).
