Name Pages to grade _ Scary Costume Contest Halloween BONUS Peter and four friends challenged each other to wear the scariest costumes for Halloween this year. The only rule was that they had to make their own costume. Each one went as a creature of the night... and boy, did they come up with some good ones! They planned to meet, decide which one of them was scariest, and then go trick or treating together. Their meeting place, of course, was the graveyard after dark and they did a royally good job scaring each other before heading out to trick or treat. Determine the full name of each boy (one boy s first name was James), what kind of creature each dressed up as (one was a mummy), and the order in which they placed for their impromptu scary costume contest. 1. Don s costume was deemed the scariest so he got 1st place but he wasn t a ghost. 2. Harvey Parker wasn t the werewolf. 3. The vampire got third place. Peter Jones didn t wear the ghost costume. 4. The zombie costume was worn by the boy whose last name was Smith. 5. Martin s last name wasn t Hayes. 6. The boy whose last name was Elliot had a costume which placed one higher than the werewolf but two lower than Peter s costume. LPPACS Schmidt 1
Monster Halloween Costume Party On Halloween, the favorite gathering place for movie monsters is Dracula's castle, site of the annual Monster Ball. The Count's intolerance of daylight limits his ability to shop for party items, so his four best monster friends each brought a different necessity to this year's party. Each of them showed up wearing a different Halloween costume; one came as Cinderella. Thanks to their help, the guests had a ghoulishly good time. Determine the order in which each monster arrived at the Ball, the costume he wore, and the item(s) he contributed. 1. The monster dressed as Papa Smurf arrived just before the Creature from the Black Lagoon, who arrived sometime just before the monster who brought the pumpkins for the guests to carve into jack-o'-lanterns. 2. Wolfman arrived sometime before the monster who brought apples for bobbing, who arrived sometime before the monster who dressed up as Tinker Bell. 3. The four monsters are, in some order: Frankenstein, the one who brought his CD collection (which included "Monster Mash"}, the one who wore a Peter Cottontail costume, and the third monster to arrive. 4. The monster who brought a horror-movie trivia game arrived sometime before the Thing (who didn't come dressed as Papa Smurf). 5. During the evening, Frankenstein and the monster who brought the pumpkins talked about collaborating on a screenplay for a future movie. LPPACS Schmidt 2
