“Anon come on! The ad says it right there!”

My girlfriend throws her phone over to me. It lands on the couch and I pick it up, eyes scanning an ad for a theme park. It’s littered with the usual pumpkins, skeletons, black cats, and pointed hats one would expect, with orange text on a black background detailing the event. ‘Global Studio’s Annual Halloween Horror Nights Starts Soon!’ makes up the title with their usual tag line just below it, ‘Never Go Alone!’ displayed in bright red font with blood dripping from each letter. I give a tired sigh and turn back to my girlfriend.

“Susan, baby, I know you want to invite your sisters for our annual trip to global studios but are you sure that’s the best idea?”

“What do you mean by that?” She fires back, arms crossed.

“Well, they’re just, you know, a little weird.”

“My sisters are perfectly normal werewolves Anon, just like me.”

I put my hands up defensively.

“I never said anything was weird about the whole werewolf thing Susan. You turn half wolf at the end of every month, so what? All I’m saying is that they never seemed to have the best social graces, if you get my drift.”

She rolls her eyes.

“They live out in the sticks and don’t get a whole lot of social contact, sure, but can you really blame them? Living in the middle of nowhere comes with a lot of benefits for a werewolf. Not having to hide their monthly transformations, free access to game, plenty of space to roam around and do werewolf stuff in. It’s pretty nice.”

“Susan, do you remember what happened the last time you had them over? What happened to the pizza guy?” I ask, voice low and serious.

“They just gave him a little fright is all.” She says with a nervous chuckle. “Like I said, they normally don’t have to worry about scaring anyone with their lycan forms where they live. It was just a little accident.”

I shake my head and toss her phone back to her.

“I don’t think inviting them to an amusement park during their Halloween event is going to end well, but if you think otherwise, I guess it’s your call.”

Susan unlocks her phone and begins typing.

“Thanks Anon, it really means a lot to me. I’ll make sure they know to behave themselves in the park. Absolutely no howling, running into people, or scaring any innocent parkgoers.”

“And be sure they know to say that they’re just in werewolf costumes if anyone asks, we don’t want the police getting called on them.”

Susan nods her head approvingly.

“Of course! It’s the one time of the year we get to mingle with the public while transformed, we don’t want them to ban anyone with a werewolf costume for next year or anything.”

“Good, good, and just one more thing Susan.”

“What?”

“Be sure that they know that all the mummies, witches, and vampires walking about are just people in costumes. We don’t want them getting into a fight over territory with another ‘werewolf’.”

“Sure, but their sense of smell should clue them in that it’s all just humans in makeup and cheap costumes. I’ll make sure they know to put on their best manners for the event. No growling, teeth baring, or awkwardly humped legs.”

“Good, we wouldn’t want to cause a scene.”

********************************************************************

The rearview mirror is nothing but tufts of fur and twitching ears as we drive to the park. Susan’s three sisters somehow managed to cram themselves into the rear seats of the car despite all of them being seven foot tall wolfish beasts. I made sure they all received a long talking to about what this whole event was supposed to be about. Harmless scares, exploring the spooky park, eating cotton candy and drinking red punch. I think they got the jist of it, but I could never be too sure with them.

I park the car and get out, her sisters all exiting in a clown car esque fashion as spindly limbs and pointy muzzles all fight for the first door that opens. Why they didn’t just use the door on the other side of the car I’ll never know.

First out is Michaela. With jet black fur and an equally dark leather jacket it’s almost easy to miss her among the shadows, that is if it weren’t for the fact that she easily had the most muscular frame of all her sisters. She takes a couple strides in the cool air and stops, her nose blowing steam as she takes in the distant sounds of the park.

“I hear a lot of screaming in the distance. This courage ritual of yours is strange, but I will do my best to give the humans a decent fright.”

“That’s not really the point, you’re here to get scared, not scare others.” I explain.

She scoffs at my words.

“Ha! Michaela the wolfess, scared?! Such a thing is not possible! I will do my best to give as many humans around me a chance to prove their courage by not running away from my terrifying form, and challenge them to honorable combat if their flight or fight instincts choose the more foolish of the two options.” She gloats, putting her hands on her hips triumphantly.

I turn my head and whisper towards Susan.

“Is she always like this?”

“She normally comes up to my chest in her human form, give her a break.”

“Your chest when you’re a werewolf or a human?”

“Human.”

“Ohhhh.” I trail off, the mental image of the massive hulking wolfess shrinking down to an absolute pipsqueak of a woman causing me to hide a grin.

Next out of the car is Stephany. With a glittery blond coat and Halloween sweater draped around her waist she sniffs the air.

*SNIFF…SNIFF-SNIFF*

“I’m hungry! Do they have venison in the park? Or maybe just some bones for me to chew on?”

“No Stephany, but there they do usually have a little cafeteria and food stands set up around the park. You might be able to find yourself a turkey leg or hamburger if you’re lucky.”

“Aw man.” She pouts. “I’m so hungry I could eat a horse, maybe even an elephant.”

“Well maybe you should have thought about that before the drive.” I sternly remind her.

She crosses her arms and growls at me.

Susan walks up to the grumpy canine and lightly slaps her across the muzzle.

“No growling Steph! Remember, you’re supposed to be a human in a werewolf costume, humans can’t growl like we do! And just eat something in the park if you’re so damn hungry.”

Stephany sighs and shrugs her shoulders.

“Uhhg, fine.”

The last sister exits the car with a bright smile and her ears perked up. Melany, no doubt the most dramatic of the sisters, practically prances out of the car, doing a little twirl before stopping next to Stephany. Her auburn fur is shiny and vibrant, she must have taken a shower just after transforming. Her body is bare aside from a small purse dangling from her shoulder. On one hand all of her unmentionables are fully covered by her thick coat of fur, on the other hand being around others fully naked was considered risqué even by werewolves. Guess she must really be trying to make an impression on someone tonight.

“Oh Susan, will there be many cute boys at this thing? My bleeding heart aches for the touch of another.” She says, her eyelashes fluttering as she holds her paws to her chest.

“Yes Melany, lots of boys.” Susan replies with a grumble. “But if you want to snag one be sure he’s got nerves of steel, we all know what happened to the last dozen or so boyfriends you scared away.”

Melany looks up and wipes her eye.

“They just weren’t strong enough for my unrequited love. Too weak to accept my lycan body and the passionate heat that it can bring to bear. If they can’t handle my fur then they don’t deserve my skin.”

“I think it was mostly the love bites that turned them away. Perhaps you should rethink giving them when you’ve got fangs two inches long.”

Melany huffs and crosses her arms.

“A little biting in the heat of the moment never hurt anyone. Besides, I brush my teeth on a regular basis, it’s perfectly safe!”

“Uh-huh.” Susan half-heartedly responds.

I clap my hands and motion towards the entrance to the park.

“Well everyone it’s about time to head in! Take your tickets and go have some spooky, and hopefully safe, fun girls.”

I take a stack of tickets out of my pocket and begin handing them out. Once Susan’s three sisters had theirs, I take my wolfy girlfriend by the paw and begin walking to the entrance, trying to keep my hopes up that they wouldn’t get into too much trouble.

On a Mongolian basket weaving forum the next day…

>Be me

>Working at the Halloween horror event last night

>My job was to scare people walking by a specific corner of the park

>They dressed me in a butcher’s apron with a hockey mask and a prop chain to rev and wave around at people, pretty standard stuff right?

>Well not long after the park opened this lady in a super realistic werewolf costume rounded the corner

>I’m talking professional grade quality here, shit could have been in a movie

>Realistic black fur, limbs and fingers that moved naturally, her mask must have had little motors in it since her eyes and muzzle moved too

>And she must have been really tall for a woman under all that fur, she must have cleared seven feet in the costume

>Anyway, I’m just kind of gazing in awe at her costume when she suddenly looks at me with that frightening face of hers and I break out of it

>So I raise my chainsaw and make some guttural laughs, you know, trying to do my best crazed chainsaw wielding psycho impression

>That’s when she suddenly lurches forward and bears her claws and fangs at me along with a loud bark

>I flinch, but then I pick up my balls and resume waving the chainsaw around

>That’s when she fucking walks next to a display with a skeleton knight, rips the sword out of its bony grasp, and points it at me!

>She said something like “Prepare to meet your fate in honorable battle, brave human.” or something weird like that, I wasn’t really paying much attention to her words with that giant sword pointed at me

>So I take my mask off and try to reason with her, tell her it’s all just playing pretend

>That’s when she lunges forward at me and brings her sword down!

>I bring my chainsaw up in an attempt to defend myself but part of the chain section breaks off almost immediately, those props aren’t exactly intended to take a beating

>She keeps swinging at me and I keep parrying her blows with the chainsaw, little bits of it breaking off each time

>Eventually it’s all the way down to the motor and I have no choice but to throw it off to the side

>So now I’m totally defenseless and this crazy lady in a costume still wants a piece of me, so I run off into the park

>She kept on shouting something while following me, something about declaring my surrender, but I didn’t know what the hell she was talking about so I just ran

>Eventually I made it to one of the haunted houses and tried to lay low

>Only for, you guessed it, that crazy werewolf lady to follow me inside

>I remember the sound of her sniffing the air as she stalked me through its dark halls and cobweb infested rooms

>Eventually I managed to loop around using an employee entrance and escape her, thank god

>Then I just laid low in the park for the rest of the night, trying to both keep myself hidden from the werewolf and my boss, those props can’t be cheap

Seriously though guys, that was the most insane experience I’ve ever had at the park and it wasn’t even an attraction! Anyone else see some weird shit last night?

******************************************************

Dude, you had someone in a werewolf costume harass you last night? I had one practically try to eat me! Let me give you a QRD.

>Be me (who else would I be?)

>Go to the park last night with a few friends

>For context, I was wearing a giant pumpkin costume around my body and taped a couple a couple of those really small pumpkins to my shoulders

>It’s dumb, I know, but at the time I thought more pumpkins = more Halloween spirit

>So me and my friends are enjoying the park and eventually I get hungry

>No one else wants anything so I go to the cafeteria they have to get a quick bite to eat

>I’m waiting in line, just minding my own business, when all of a sudden someone taps me on the shoulder

>I turn around to see someone in a costume a lot like what you described, super realistic, facial expressions on the mask, except this one had blond fur and a sweater around her waist

>She said “Can I take one of those?” and I have no idea what she’s talking about

>Until she points to one of the pumpkins on my shoulders and repeats herself

>Which just makes me more confused, why would she want a tiny pumpkin?

>Before I even have a chance to answer she rips it off my shoulder and takes a big bite out of it

>With pumpkin guts dripping down her chin she wipes her lips and goes “This is pretty good.”, as if she just took a bite out of a sandwich or something

>She takes a few more bites and I’m just wondering how the hell the jaws on her mask manage to be damn realistic, bits of pumpkin even go down her throat and disappear as if she’s eating it

>When she devoured the whole thing, which only took seconds, she points to the other one on my shoulder

>She asks for it and I respond with some variation of “Hell no you asshole! You just ate part of my costume.”

>This was clearly not what she wanted to hear, since I hear this deep growling sound come from her and her ears pin to the back of her head

>But just as suddenly she back away and stops growling, she then gives me a short half-hearted apology then looks down

>Still pissed that she ate my pumpkin, but not riled up enough to continue this confrontation, I turn around and decide to let it go

>Nothing happens for a couple of minutes as I slowly trudge forward to the front of the line, guess they must be understaffed with now long it was taking for people’s orders to get put in

>Everything was going well…until I hear some sniffing coming from behind me

>I grit my teeth and hope it’s just the lady in the werewolf costume having the sniffles or something, but then I see her nose appear out of my peripheral vision

>Angered, I zip around to face her and at the same time my sole remaining pumpkin falls off my shoulder, guess I should have taped it on better

>The werewolf lady immediately picks it up and takes a bite out of it

>I scold her for eating more of my property, but she rebuts that if it’s on the ground it’s fair game

>We argue some more, then her ears perk up as she resumes sniffing around my body

>She says that I'm hiding something from her, that I have food in my pocket

>IIRC I did have a candy bar in my pants pocket, some of the employees were handing out candy and I wanted my fill

>But I can’t reach it due to the pumpkin costume, and of all the people I could give it to it sure as hell wasn’t going to be this annoying mangy mutt

>So we argue some more, eventually push comes to shove and I realize that whoever the hell was under the costume could easily take me in a fight so I did the only thing I could

>I ran away like the defenseless little pumpkin I was

>After making it through the line I dashed to a darker and less traveled area of the park

>Not that it helped, the werewolf soon found my location and cornered me behind a tree

>She ripped off most of my pumpkin costume with her claws (who the hell puts sharp claws on a costume?!) and immediately found my candy bar, taking it in her mouth before disappearing into the darkness

>I returned to my friends pumpkinless, candyless, and with a newfound dislike for anyone wearing werewolf costumes

I’m still livid over what happened tbh, my costume was cheesy but I still hate having it ripped apart because of some weirdo with a sweet tooth

********************************************************************

lmao, I thought werewolves couldn’t have chocolate. Anyways, I too had a weird experience with someone in a werewolf costume last night.

>Be me, supreme alpha chad extraordinaire

>As in I painted my skin gray, grew a stubble, and put on one of those fake muscle suits under my clothes for my costume

>I’m in the park for a first date, this girl I met a few days ago is really into Halloween and I thought it would be nice to meet up somewhere spooky and have some fun

>So we decided to meet up at one of the rides and go from there

>As I'm walking through the entrance of the park I’m behind this lady in a really well put together werewolf costume

>She’s got those stilts that make her feet look digitigrade, coated head to toe in auburn fur, and like the rest of you mentioned, a really nice mask with moving eyes and everything

>So I'm just walking behind her and she’s fiddling around with something in her purse, I see her drop a twenty without noticing and I bend down to pick it up

>I yell over to her and she freezes in her tracks before running over to me and giving me the biggest hug in my entire life

>Seriously, without the muscle suit padding my body I'm pretty sure I would have broken a rib or two

>So I give her back her money and she starts making small talk

>She asks me about my costume, if I’ve been here before, what my favorite part of the park is, etc.

>Pretty normal small talk

>At some point I mentioned I was here on a date and that’s when her demeanor changed

>She pins her ears back and crosses her arms, staring into me like I just committed some kind of heinous crime

>She asks how long I’ve known her, where we met, how many dates we’ve been on, has she ever cheated on me, weird stuff like that

>At some point I get too weirded out and politely excused myself

>She just huffed and stared me down as I walked away

>So later on I meet with my date and everything’s just dandy

>Aside from the occasional flash of auburn in the corners of my vision the werewolf lady kept out of our hair

>We go through a few of the attractions, walk around the park a bit, talk about our interests, have a quick meal together, everything is going well

>Until she disappears to use the restroom and I’m left waiting outside

>That’s when the weirdo in the werewolf costume from earlier comes stomping back up to me in a rage

>She throws her arms up in the air and starts screaming at me

>Ranting about how I'm the one for her and it’s true love and how I deserve better than that whore that I was walking around with

>It’s total madness as I try to calm down this crazed lunatic and make sense of her unrequited love for me, all the while she’s basically throwing a temper tantrum in the middle of the park

>I’m not sure what happened to my date during all of this, but I wouldn’t see her for the rest of the night

>She probably saw the madness going on and skedaddled, not that I would blame her

>So I keep arguing with the woman in the werewolf costume and she’s practically on her knees bawling in front of me, crying about how her true love has been stolen away from her or some other such nonsense

>Not wanting to cause a scene, I calmly wrap an arm around her surprisingly warm waist and suggest we talk this out someplace a little quieter

>As in, some place where we wouldn’t have half the park gawking at us like some couple having a marital dispute

>So we walked to a quiet corner of the park, away from any onlookers, and that was that

Pretty weird night tbh. The park should really do something about all those people in werewolf costumes harassing park goers.

What do you mean ‘that was that’? What happened? Stop being so vague

**************************************************

Nothing happened

Bullshit! Tell us more you coward

My dude, I'm currently in the hospital and on so many painkillers it’s amazing I can even type. Apparently after talking down the lady in the werewolf costume I got attacked by a stray dog or something and was rescued by some other park goers. Must have been one hell of a big dog given the bite mark on my shoulder and the bruises all over my body. The people that rescued me were really nice though, one even stayed overnight to make sure I was okay. I’ll have to remember to thank her after I get released.
