Challenge #68: Creepy and Kooky (original) (raw)

October in New York – the leaves are changing color, pumpkin spice has taken over everything, and I can start thinking about wearing sweaters. Which can only mean one thing…it’s time for the Supernatural AU!

They’re creepy and they’re kooky
Mysterious and spooky
They’re all together ooky
The Addams family!

I used to watch the Addams family as a kid. The Munsters, too. I’ve always been interested in the supernatural, whether it was a campy TV show or a Stephen King novel. Is it any wonder I enjoy Halloween season? ::grins::

There are a lot of ways you can tackle a Supernatural AU:

• The crazy cat lady is actually a very powerful witch
• Being the only “normal” one in a supernatural family (a la Marilyn Munster)
• Being the only supernatural one in a “normal” family
• Inheriting a haunted house/haunted object
• Being an out and proud vampire/werewolf/etc.
• Movie/TV/book fusion with your fave scary content
• Running a bar/club/etc that caters to the supernatural community
• Day in the life of a ghost
• The weirdest, creepiest family in the neighborhood is actually the most wholesome (a la The Addams Family)

So gather with your shawl on, a roost that you can crawl on, and let’s get in touch with our inner Addamses!
