PETER AND THE VAMPIRES is a horror/comedy web novel (and a free podcast!)about a normal, 10-year-old kid who moves into a sinister town filled with supernatural horribleness. The series is composed of different "monster of the week" stories - kind of like THE X-FILES crossed with THE SIMPSONS (if Mr. Burns were a ghoul and something terrifying lived in the town dump). "Peter And The Dead Men" is the first story in the collection. A new page is posted every day.

I hate those dreams where you know your dreaming but your dream knows your dreaming and can use reverse psychology on you.. those are the ones you can not go back to sleep too in the middle of the night because you know your just going to slip right back into it..
i think this one is going to creep me out more then the last one... its already struck a more.. adult terror rather then childish..

I know what you mean.
Dreams like this scare the hell out of me. Yeah, I've had creepy carnival dreams. They were the one reason I didn't run away to join the carnies.
-------------------------------------
As I was sitting on my couch watching some late night TV, summer is truly the only time one can do this, I got to thinking about if this was to become a movie, who would play what role?

Grandpa should be played by
-James Whitmore
-Christopher Walken
-The old guy from the Pixar chess game short
-James Caan
All i can picture for Peter would be Freddie Highmore
for Dill i think you would have to get some unknown little kid
-AnakMoon
You and my BFF are all about the Freddie Highmore.
He's doing the voice for Astroboy.
o//w//o
Looooove Astroboy!

Oh that scared the pants off of poor Peter. Those kind of dreams always suck.
Though I can't say I have had a bad dream in a long time. Now I think I hear an alarm in it and wake up and find out that my alarm hasn't gone off yet.
I wish I dreamt. Insomnia is a cruel mistress. :) Unfortunately I have a sinking suspicion that was not a dream where you know you're dreaming and so does the dream. I wonder if there's a carnival coming to town...
As for roles in a movie... I just can't stop picturing Dill as Dill from the To Kill a Mockingbird movie.

Darren-
Add "Something Wicked This Way Comes" (another Bradbury) to that list to read along with Halloween Tree!
Disney did a movie version in 1983 with Jason Robards as the Grandfather and Jonathan Pryce (Yes, the guy from Miss Saigon and POTC) as Mr. Dark.
You want to scare the crud out of yourself, watch it. I remember it being scary even by Disney standards!
Please don't tell me that there are clowns in this one!
AnakMoon -
Actually, you're right: the scary parts in this are much more adult in nature, and not softened nearly as much by humor.
Good suggestions for Grandfather. It's funny, I've been recording podcasts for the first four episodes - that's right, people, soon you'll be able to hear my voice impersonate Dill, which is pretty...um, unusual. Anyway, in the middle of the process I was watching GRAN TORINO, and I realized that Clint Eastwood has the exact same voice that I'm using for Grandfather. So for me, if Clint Eastwood had a big gray beard and was almost completely bald, you'd be pretty close. He DEFINITELY has the voice.
I actually think Richard Harris is closest to how he looks. Not as Dumbledore in the first HARRY POTTER, but here.
(Thanks, MistyCat - I used your HTML!)
Picture him without the cigarette, and with a much longer beard. Of course, he's gone now, so the casting goes on...
As for Dill and Peter, they'd have to be unknowns, or some kids in movies I haven't seen.

What do you mean, you haven't had a bad dream in awhile? A dream where you wake up before you have to is a BAD DREAM!

Well, I guess that's natural, since I definitely stole his name and kind of stole his personality (although amped up about 10x) from the book.
Mary -
I remember wanting to see that, but my mom wouldn't let me!
And no clowns in this one, I promise.
Darren-
They took a LOT of liberties with it (ie COMPLETELY diverged from the storyline) but it's still pretty creep.)
