Customer feedback received 12.10.14 AMAZING! Exactly what I needed. Well written, funny and great suggestions for music. I’m using this with a class of 31 and the suggestions for adaptations were spot on. The class love it and are super excited for our assembly on the 30th of October. Thank you

Judge 1: Welcome!
Judge 2: We are gathered here to behold the year’s spookiest show!
Judge 3: Our very own …..
Whole cast: (Shouting together) Halloween Talent Competition!

(Everyone cheers)

Judge 1: Each year we have a different set of contestants – but all sharing one thing in common! They’re all
All Contestants: (Yelling) Gruesome!
Judge 2: That’s right! No prizes here for beauty – on the contrary…
Judge 3: The more gruesome, the better!
Judge 1: (Looking up and down the line of contestants) And I have to say, this year you have truly surpassed yourselves!
Judge 2: (Nodding) Absolutely!
Judge 3: What a grotesque lot!

(Everyone cheers)

Judge 1: But are you truly scary?
Judge 2: That is what will win you this coveted prize!
Judge 3: A pumpkin – filled with every imaginable horror!

(Each judge walks over and holds up something from out of the pumpkin, before
dropping it back in again; the showing of each ‘exhibit’ prompting
cries of admiration from the cast)

Judge 1: A venomous snake!
Judge 2: A warty toad!
Judge 3: A blood-covered axe!
Judge 1: Ah yes! There is something for everyone!
Judge 2: But who is to be our champion this year?
Judge 3: Let’s meet the contestants!

Music 2 Witch Queen of New Orleans - Redbone

(Enter 3 witches)

Witches: (Together) We are the three witches of Macbeth!

(Three witches recite 2 lines from Shakespeare’s Macbeth, whilst bent over a caldron)

Witches: Double, double, toil and trouble
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.
Witch 1: Evil we look!
Witch 2: Ugly we are!
Witch 3: (All sweetly) Choose us, kind judges
Witches: (Screaming together) Or we’ll have yaaaaaaaaah!

(Witches race over to the judges, making menacing gestures)

Judge 1: That’s enough!
Judge 2: We will not be intimidated!
