BLOODY MURDER
"IT" GOES AND HIDES WHILE THE CHILDREN SITTING ON
"HOME" SING THE FOLLOWING SONG:
ONE O'CLOCK, TWO O'CLOCK, THREE O'CLOCK ROCK
FOUR O'CLOCK, FIVE O'CLOCK, SIX O'CLOCK ROCK
SEVEN O'CLOCK, EIGHT O'CLOCK, NINE O'CLOCK ROCK
TEN O'CLOCK, ELEVEN O'CLOCK, TWELVE O'CLOCK
MIDNIGHT!
"MIDNIGHT" IS YELLED AS LOUD AS POSSIBLE SO THAT "IT" MAY
KNOW THAT THE CHILDREN ARE COMING. THE CHILDREN SEPARATE
AND LOOK FOR "IT". IF A CHILD SEES "IT" AND HASN'T YET BEEN
TOUCHED BY "IT", THAT CHILD WILL SCREAM "BLOODY MURDER" AND
RUN TO HOME. THE OTHER CHILDREN ALSO SCREAM "BLOODY MURDER"
AND RUN TO HOME. IT IS UNWISE TO BE LAST FOR BY THEN "IT" HAS
GOTTEN TO THE AREA OF HOME BASE AND GUARDS HOME SO THAT THE
PLAYERS CAN'T GET THROUGH. THE PLAYERS TOUCHING HOME BASE THEN
FORM A HUMAN CHAIN, LINKING HANDS, AND TRY TO REACH THE
TRAPPED PLAYERS. IF THEY CAN REACH THE CHAIN THEY ARE "SAFE".
IF SOMEONE IS TOUCHED BY "IT" THEY BECOME "IT" FOR THE NEXT
GAME. OTHERWISE THE ORIGINAL "IT" IS "IT" AGAIN AND THE GAME
BEGINS AGAIN. THIS GAME WAS ALWAYS PLAYED AT NIGHT. "IT"
COULD HIDE BETTER AND THE DARKNESS ADDED TO THE FEAR AND
EXCITEMENT. THE BOUNDARIES WERE ALWAYS SETTLED BEFORE HAND AS
WELL AS A TIME LIMIT FOR FINDING "IT".

DEATH CAR
DURING THE SUMMER VACATION, WORD TRAVELLED AROUND TOWN
THAT A 1958 THUNDERBIRD {AUTOMOBILE} WAS UP FOR SALE
AT FLINT FOR ONLY $100. THE CAR WAS IN PERFECT
CONDITION, BUT TWO PEOPLE HAD DIED IN IT, AND THEIR
CORPSES CAUSED THE INTERIOR AND EVEN THE METAL OF
THE CAR ITSELF TO TAKE ON A PUNGANT ODOR. NOTHING
COULD REMOVE THE STENCH. THE USED CAR MAN TRIED
EVERYTHING TO SELL THE CAR, BUT NO ONE WOULD BUY IT.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CAR. THIS FACT
WAS TRANSMITTED TO ME ORALLY.

THERE ARE SEVERAL VARIATIONS OF A GAME USING THE ALPHABET.
IN EACH YOU MUST GO THROUGH EACH LETTER AND THINK OF
SOMETHING IN THE CATEGORY THAT STARTS WITH THE LETTER. "A,"
"THE" AND "AN" DON'T COUNT. THE CATEGORIES ARE MOVIES, BOOKS,
ANIMALS AND SONGS, TO NAME A FEW.
FOR EXAMPLE IF THE CATEGORY WERE ANIMALS AND THROUGH TAKING
TURNS YOU HAD REACHED THE LETTER "K" YOU COULD USE KANGAROO.
YOU NEED AT LEAST TWO PEOPLE, THOUGH MORE IS MORE FUN. FOR
A MORE CHALLENGING GAME, GO THROUGH THE ALPHABET AGAIN WITH
THE SAME CATEGORY, BUT YOU CAN'T USE THE SAME WORDS AS THE
LAST GAME.
A VARIATION OF THIS IS LOOKING FOR LETTERS, IN ALPHABETICAL
ORDER, ON SIGNS AND LICENSE PLATES WHILE TRAVELING ON ROADS.
THIS IS MORE COMPETITIVE, BECAUSE NO ONE TAKES TURNS.
