| Props: | None required; optional beds or chairs to represent sleeping family |
| Notes: | Ghost should be spooky but not too scary-aim for dramatic, over-the-top delivery. Daughter's line should be deadpan. |
(Scene: A quiet house. Family members are 'asleep' in chairs or sleeping bags.)
([Ghost] tiptoes up to [Mom], leans in with a spooky voice.)
[Ghost:] I am the Ghost of Midnight!
[Mom:] Ahhh!
([Ghost] moves to [Dad].)
[Ghost:] I am the Ghost of Midnight!
[Dad:] I'm getting out of here!
([Ghost] goes to [Son].)
[Ghost:] I am the Ghost of Midnight!
[Son:] Help! Mommy!
([Ghost] approaches [Daughter].)
[Ghost:] I am the Ghost of Midnight!
[Daughter:] (Looks at watch.) Aww, shut up. It's only 11:45.
