TWO GHOSTS ARE TALKING TO ONE ANOTHER IN AN OBVIOUSLY HAUNTED HOUSE

CECIL:
Bloody Halloween! You can't scare anyone at this time of year. Most of the time you at least get a scream, but today all you get is nice costume, where can I get one.

PHIL:
Aw it's not so bad, Keep your chin up mate!

CECIL:
It's comfier to keep it under my arm, thank you.

PHIL:
No I mean cheer up, it's only one day a year and it's quite fun if you ask me, I just tried to scare the Woman next door & she gave me a Mars bar.

CECIL:
Haunting people is not meant to be fun! I blame Scooby Doo for all this. Honestly! Sometimes I feel like banging my head straight through a brick wall

PHIL:
You've got to admit it's good publicity.

CECIL:
So everyone can think that Ghosts are White sheets with eye holes & feet. It makes a mockery of shockery

PHIL:
It's not just Ghosts, people dress up as all sorts, Vampires, Mummies, Zombies.

CECIL:
Yeah great! The undead, the used to be dead & the supposed to be dead, whatever happened to becoming a good old fashioned Ghost! The art of dying is a dying art if you ask me.

PHIL:
We don't have to answer the door if it upsets you that much. We can just stay in & watch a DVD. I still haven't seen that Sixth Sense movie.

CECIL:
At the end It turns out the little boy's not dead.

PHIL:
I was looking forward to that you sod! Listen if you're going to be a misery all night then I'm off out to a Séance or something.

CECIL:
Alright Alright I'm sorry I promise I'll cheer up.

PHIL:
Shake on it?

CECIL:
You shake, I'll shiver.

Nicely written Steve, liked the lines.

this starts great with a topper idea of Ghosts feeling belittled by halloween, but you kinda end on just some puns

which aren't bad, but you know man youre the gold standard

Yes the premise went astray.
But I thought I'd stick it up for a bit of fun
rather than finding sketches that go bump in the night

Its better than most people, I wonder if they're jealous of how much fuss zombies get

Nice to see you writing again, Sunshine.

Well I just tried to pull the woman next door and she STOLE my Mars Bar!

Laughing out loud

Some wonderful lines; not sure about the ending, but could maybe work depending on the production.

That is superb, up until the 6th Sense. That gag is a bit desperate, and it fizzles out after that. With a different ending, this could be a solid gold winner.

Just had a thought for the ending...?

-Shake on it?

-OK.

[FX of chains being rattled. Both ghosts go "whooooo!" eerily]

The Shiver shake & the 6th sense are a bit tacked on
As I couldn't think of where to take it at the time, but wanted to stick something up on Halloween.

I may rethink & see if the original premise can be taken to a more satisfactory conclusion.
Or bin it, either way..
