I love how Sean is so calm and at ease in the beginning of the fic. XD Him casually vaulting over the gate is priceless. XD And, ooh... the mention of that stone from that article (LOL at Elliott's interpretation of it)!

And more LOL. Sean is hilarious in the first half of this fic... pulling the zombie thing on Scott... the "Nevermore" quote... his "Now we have a choice to make" commentary... the "Ollie Ollie Oxen Free"... and him thinking that Scott was trying to pull the zombie thing back... XD

Sean is so fun to write for. X3 I hope he doesn't sound too much like Zack; I've tried to give him his own brand of humor.

The creepy monument Scott was standing by with the broken urn is from another creepy legend around here. XD Supposedly kids light a candle, walk backwards three times behind the tomb saying "Emo!", then come around to the front and see a face looking out at them from the window. It sounds like the stuff of kids' dares, alright. LOL. But so many claimed they really saw something, so.... **shrugs.**

(Nope, nobody knows what Double Trouble's names are.)

The illusion scene was really creepy to write. o.o And originally I'd had them actually run through the ghosts for real, but then I just didn't like it and thought it didn't make sense, so I decided to change it to them vaulting over the gate, which was an idea Kaze had. X3

Thanks!

**snickers.** Figures that they ran out of gas at the cemetery. XD

That was actually a nice point that Sean made about cemeteries being for the living, not the dead. ^^

LOL! I love the "dim bulbs" comment. That totally fits Double Trouble. XD

LOL. Just like Sean to get everyone to lighten up by scaring them! XD

I never did like those Edgar Allen Poe stories. Too creepy. XD;

**snickers @ Sean's "Ollie ollie oxen free."** And at him running when the door slammed! I think I'd totally do that too. XD

Man, that part with Elliott and that spectre was still so freaky! **shudders.**

Oh man... That was such a horrible illusion of Sean getting his hand frozen and then torn up when he yanked it away! Glad it was only an illusion. **shudders.**

**snickers @ Double Trouble running back and forth.** I can totally picture that. XD

Oh gosh, that was so awful when they thought Barry hadn't been able to make it! He's lucky he was able to get around the side of the fence.

LOL @ the ending. XD

**nodnod.** Somehow I thought I could picture Sean saying that about cemeteries being for the living. ♥

**snerks @ dim bulbs.**

I had to read both The Raven and The Tell-Tale Heart for school. XD I think I liked The Raven, and The Tell-Tale Heart really was creepy, though also tragic, showing a glimpse into the mind of someone who was totally nuts. o.o

I think the illusion idea was something I came up with on the spur of the moment while writing. So creepy and terrible!

I love the mental image of Double Trouble freaking out like that. LOL.

Barry having trouble getting out was another spur of the moment thing. ;__; I suddenly decided that there needed to be one final monkey wrench.

Yay Monkees-inspired ending! X3

This was definitely a fun fic to write, even though I scared myself with it a lot. XD Thanks!

[cskazaam]

Yeah, I had to read them too. XD I think The Raven was more spooky than anything, but I have to say that the Tell-Tale Heart was definitely creepy and disturbing. XD

That last thing with Barry was definitely intense! And so awful when it seemed like he'd really just vanished. ;__;

LOL. Scaring yourself is part of the fun!
