Hi everyone. We hope that you and yours are in good health and have been staying safe during this new wave of COVID.
We’re not sure how many people frequently check this event page, but we have some very important information regarding this event.
Since the pandemic started, our activity has been spotty (which some might have noticed if you have participated in our other events). At first, it was due to putting our lives first since, like most if not all of you, many things have happened in our personal lives that needed our attention first and foremost. Eventually, as the months went on, both of our interest in Marvel has dwindled.
We had thought that getting more mods would help us out. However, the two of us thought about this long and hard, and we came to the realization that it wouldn’t be fair to anyone involved in this event, whether it be a mod or a participant, to have mods that aren’t as dedicated to the general Marvel fandom as before.
With that being said, we have decided to step back from this event for a year. If our interest doesn’t change, then we will unfortunately close this event.
We want to thank all of you that have participated in our event and have applied to be a mod. We hope to be back in a year! :)
It’s finally that time of the year again, and Marvel Spookytober Prompts is back with prompts for you a bit later than usual.
For those who aren’t familiar, Marvel Spookytober Prompts is an event that lasts the entire month of October. It has two different prompts for you to choose from each day or you could even use both prompts. You are free to participate as much or as little as you wish, meaning there is NO minimum word count, minimum days to participate, minimum images, or anything of the like. All forms (writing, art, gifsets, moodboards, etc.) will be accepted.
Here are some quick reminders of this event:
You don’t have to use every prompt that is given for each day, but you are more than welcome to if you want.
If you would like for us to reblog your work, then use the hashtags #marvelspookytober or #marvelspookytoberprompts. For an extra measure, since tracked tagging has been a bit wonky lately, then tag us in your post.
To make it easier for us Mods for when we reblog and tag your work, please state what day and prompt(s) you have filled. (ex: Day 4 - Group Costume or Day 23 - “Don't you dare touch my caramel apples.” || The 13th Floor)
You can also include your work in our AO3 collection here. Please state what day and prompt(s) you have filled in the ‘Summary’ section.
HERE is a link to a post that shows fic formatting examples. This format should be done since it provides information about what your work entails so people can avoid it if there’s something they aren’t comfortable with.
These prompts are free for anyone to use; however, we will only be reblogging Marvel related content.
Without further ado, here, under the cut, are this year’s prompts!

Hi everyone! Within the past few months, both Mods have become more busy in our personal lives. Due to this, the two of us have decided to open up an application for some new Mods to help us out in future rounds.
If you are interested in becoming a Mod please fill out the application form HERE.
November 1st is here, meaning that our event is officially over, for this year at least. Thank you to everyone that participated this year. We hope you all had fun creating this year!

It happened every two years. A week before Halloween several of them would come up missing. The windows and doors were securely locked yet somehow the females were stolen out of their beds with no trace of forced entry. The next day they were found not far from their homes with their heads ripped clean off. Their hair matted around their face and no trace of blood. Murdered, a mystery that to this day has been unsolved. The only clue left behind were the stack of candy wrappers thrown in a pile by the heads.
Maria had her suspicions, as to who, what, and why, but it could never be proven. Either way she was determined to find the sick monster before another one of your precious barbies fell victim to the hideous barbie serial killer.

“Come on let me scare a few trick or treaters.”: #marvelspookytober
Tony was always known for his outlandish parties, especially the holiday parties. Halloween being one of his favorites. He usually liked to make them themed. Last year was Greatest couples throughout history. This year’s theme was popular Horror movie characters. You decided you wanted to go as Carrie. So you bought your white dress and the supplies needed to make your bucket of fake blood and got ready for the party.
As soon as you were ready you headed downstairs stopping dead in your tracks when you saw Bucky in his costume. His demonic take on the Captain America look was crazy and beyond terrifying. It was even more intimidating than his normal Winter Soldier look.
You grabbed your coats and started to head for the door when the doorbell rang and you could hear the kids on the other side. You went to get the bowl of candy when Bucky stopped you begging for you to let him answer the door.
“Come on let me scare a few of the trick or treaters.”
You couldn’t resist the puppy dog eyes he gave you so you let him answer the door. It was well worth it to hear the screams, followed by uncontrollable laughter. You don’t know how enjoyed the reaction more, the kids or Bucky. It took you another ten minutes to get Bucky to leave so the two of you could get to the party.
Your new best friend and roommate had been living on earth for the past six months and was new to the traditions of holiday traditions. You told Thor that Halloween was your favorite holiday so he made it a point to understand all the traditions, even though he thought it odd for one to dress up in funny clothes and go from home to home to beg for candy.
He was willing to do all the traditions that you set before him. You made the plans starting with going out to find the perfect costumes for the two of you. Thor of course had to give you a hard time for dressing up as your favorite Avengers hero; Hawkeye. It was so authentic all the way down to the quiver of arrows. For some reason Thor decided it was a good idea to dress up as Robin Hood.
From there the two of you were going to meet up with your other friends and would be heading over to the Haunted Houses. Thor complained the whole time about the need to stand in line for such an event and how ridiculous it was for one to have to stand there for so long. However once your group got inside he had a different tune. He laughed as each character jumped out at them as they walked through the house. When they finally got towards the end the room was pitch dark and completely silent and you could hear Thor screaming like a girl till your group made it to the exit.
The two of you went back home and ended the night in your Halloween pj’s sitting in front of the tv watching scary movies and binging on junk food for the rest of the night. From then on Thor could not wait until it was Halloween again.
Hi, spooky friends! We hope you’re all having fun doing this event and we can’t wait to see the rest of the work you all put out.
This is just a casual reminder to please don’t forget to use the posting format that we asked for you all to do at the top of your content when posting on Tumblr (example below). This format makes it not only easier for us mods to tag accordingly when reblogging, but it also lets others knows what a work entails so they can avoid it if there is something in the work that they are not comfortable with. Thank you and happy spooky season!
