Hello, Boils & Ghouls! It's your cold, I mean your old friend The Crypt Keeper! It's coming up on that time of year again, kiddies, & I'm as happy as a vampire in a fully stocked blood bank! That time of ghoulies & ghosties, witches & werewolves, aliens & abominations! Of course, I'm talkin' about Halloween! I already have my pumpkin tree & mistle-toe up...with an ACTUAL toe! A-HEE-HEE-HEE! Y'know, what I love about as much as a horrid horror story is a spaced-out sci-fi story! Which brings me to what this here little DreamUpZone challenge is about. My good friend sterlingsapphire was sort of stuck...no, not in a giant spider's web🕷️...but on an idea for a Group Halloween Challenge. So, I suggested to him why not combine Horror AND Sci-Fi; make it SPOOKY SCI-FI! Then, ask all of you devious Deviants out there what does "Spooky Sci-Fi" mean to YOU? Is it weirdo aliens? 👽Is it time traveling to an unknown future or a forgotten past? Is it a refrigerator that transforms & eats
