Here are some additional ideas that you can use as inspiration for each day's themes! You don't need to follow these prompts at all, but feel free to jump off of these ideas.
Day 1 - Ghosts & Hauntings, Trapped in the UD, Haunted House:
Ghosts & Hauntings - Mike and Will move into their first home together... but it's haunted. Ghost!Will haunts Mike, or Ghost!Mike haunts Will. Ghost movie AU. Young Mike and Will hide from a scary ghost in the closet or under the bed. A midnight stroll through a graveyard goes wrong.
Trapped in the UD - “It’s like home, but it’s so dark. It’s so dark and empty. And it’s cold!” Mike, Will, or both are trapped in the Upside Down this Halloween.
Haunted House - Creaking floors, spiderwebs, skeletons, and spiders! Mike and Will break into the scary, abandoned house down the street, only to run away when there's a creepy noise coming from the attic. Did Mike and Will get part time jobs as monster actors at the Hawkins Haunted House this October, or are they just going to the Haunted House as guests? Double Date Night: we encourage you to feature other ships with this theme!
Day 2 - Slashers, Gore & Body Horror, Demogorgon & the Flesh Monster, Halloween Party
Slashers, Gore & Body Horror - Slasher movie AU’s. Serial killer Byler, cannibalism Byler, or Frankenstein Byler.
Demogorgon & Flesh Monster - Looking back at our S1 and S3 monsters! The demogorgon or flesh monster are on the prowl and looking for victims this Halloween.
Halloween Party - What costumes are Mike and Will wearing to the party? Who has a few drinks, gets a little extra silly, and starts some drama? What feelings bubble up at the party? Loud music and dancing, spilled drinks, drunken confessions, and kissing in the dark corner of the room. Double Date Night: we encourage you to feature other ships with this theme!
Day 3 - Demons, Devils & Exorcisms, Will’s S2 Possession, Pumpkin Patch & Apple Orchard
Demons, Devils & Exorcism - Will and Mike make a deal with the devil. Demon x Exorcist enemies to lovers AU. Exorcism movie AU.
Will’s S2 Possession - Looking back the scenes of Will saying ominous things, not remembering the names of his loved ones, Mike sitting by Will’s bedside in the hospital, and the shed scene. What if Mike had been possessed instead of Will? What if Mike and Will were already dating in S2 when Will was possessed?
Pumpkin Patch & Apple Orchard - Picking out the biggest pumpkin at the pumpkin patch, carving pumpkins, baking pumpkin treats, and wearing ugly pumpkin sweaters. Getting lost in the apple orchard, climbing trees together, picking apples, drinking apple cider. Riding the hay bale and sneaking kisses.
Day 4 - Psychological Horror, Attacked by Vecna, Sweater Weather
Psychological Horror - Ramp up the horror, terror, paranoia, and fear! Psychological horror movie AU.
Attacked by Venca - Looking back at our S4 villain, and the horror filled visions he uses to attack his prey. Vecna returns on Halloween this year.
Sweater Weather - Everyone wants to cuddle up once the weather gets colder! Mike and Will start wearing their cozy sweaters and flannels. Falling leaves, hot cocoa, bonfire nights, smores, and camping.
Day 5 - Came Back Wrong, Flayed!Mike & Flayed!Will, Carnival Night
Came Back Wrong - Resurrecting your beloved childhood friend and sweetheart from death comes with a price... they're not the same now as they were before. A call back to good ol' Phineas Gage.
Flayed!Mike & Flayed!Will - Rethinking S3 if Mike or Will were flayed. Suspicions are raised and fear mounts: Mike or Will aren't quite acting like themselves and it's a fight to rescue them from their gruesome fate!
Carnival Night - Will and Mike play carnival games and go on rides. Bobbing for apples, getting lost in the corn maze, face painting, and feasting on carnival food. Double Date Night: we encourage you to feature other ships with this theme!
Day 6 - Supernatural Creatures, Trick or Treat, Freak (2x02), Trick or Treating
Supernatural Creatures - Vampires, and werewolves, and monsters, oh my! Mike and Will encounter a supernatural creature this Halloween, but is it friend or foe? Will as a werewolf, Mike as a vampire, Will as a goblin, Mike as a centaur? The options are endless! Monster x Monster Hunter AU.
Trick or Treat, Freak (2x02) - A look back on our beloved Halloween episode. Mike is complaining about Max, Will sees the Mind Flayer looming in the sky, and Mike takes Will home. Crazy together, right?
Trick or Treating - Mike and Will take Holly out trick or treating. Adult Mike and Will hand out candy. The early years of Mike and Will trick or treating with the party, TP-ing a bully’s house, and swapping candy afterward at home.
Day 7 - Witches, Wizards & Necromancy, D&D, Renaissance Festival
Witches, Wizards & Necromancy - Witch covens, a trickster wizard, or a necromancer raising zombies from the dead! A witch hunter falls in love with a witch, or Zombie Boy comes back to life.
D&D - Paladin Mike and Will the Wise celebrate the spooky season! Redecorate the Will the Wise costume with some Halloween vibes, or alter Will's S4 painting of the party to give it a spooky twist.
Renaissance Festival - Dressing up as knights, fairies, wizards, and more! The knights are jousting, everyone is eating a turkey leg, and Mike and Will are playing ax throwing games. Entertainers are juggling swords, fire eating, and putting on raunchy comedy skits. Are Mike and Will attending as guests, or working at the Renaissance Festival this fall? Double Date Night: we encourage you to feature other ships with this theme!

🎃💀👻 Walking through a haunted house ride at the carnival and ghouls are popping out at you & chasing you but HEY one of them is super hot & you let yourself be caught…🎃💀👻
Relationship: Dean Ambrose/Roman Reigns
Author’s Tags: AU College students, Seth & Roman friendship
WSL Prompt Contest Entry number: S3
Summary: none provided by author
Roman cursed Seth’s existence.
That was it. Nice and straightforward. No pussyfooting about.
He cursed his best friend’s existence on this planet.
His best friend who was currently somewhere at this damned carnival…sorry…at this damned Frrrrrright Fest…complete with extra spooky Rs for extra spooky emphasis, making big eyes at some leather jacket wearing sexy leprechaun of an exchange student. Somewhere that was not here, at the concession stand with Roman where he was supposed to be working, not that he was even sure if you could call it working if you weren’t getting paid.
Just then a very small zombie Wonder Woman stepped up to the counter to buy some popcorn, her sweet smile and the adorable puppy at the end of her Lasso of Truth snapping him out of his funk and reminding him why he was standing here in the first place.
Roman’s chosen major may have been marine science, but Seth had opted for a future dealing with more fur and less fins, gaining experience by volunteering what free time he had at the local charity animal hospital, the same hospital that was hosting this event in an effort to raise some much needed funds. As designated best friend since sharing a room in freshman year, Roman was volunteered too.
Chrissie, who Seth had already warned Roman was the real force that ran the hospital despite her claims to just be the receptionist, and therefore by default also ran the carnival,  had taken one look the pair of them, Seth in his Green Arrow get up, and Roman in his slightly more revealing Aquaman costume and with dollar signs in her eyes, assigned them both to the arduous task of relieving animal lovers of their cash in exchange for candy.
It had been a rather shrewd decision, truth be told, with their stall located slap bang in the middle of the whole thing, right between the ring toss and the haunted house. They were kept on the comfortable side of busy with kids, of all ages, being treated to cotton candy after a disappointing turn at the skill games and guys enticing their dates to take a tour of the haunted house by literally sweetening the deal. The less that could be said about the thirsty eyed moms making witty comments about the length of Seth’s arrows or the size of his trident the better. No one was overly offensive so the two just smiled back politely, thanked their customer for their purchase and moved on to the next person, a smooth well-oiled machine.
Until that moment about an hour and a half into their evening when Seth’s gaze drifted into the distance and a goofy smile plastered itself across his face. Roman just presumed that he had seen a really cute dog somewhere in the crowd, it wouldn’t be the first time, or maybe a goat, there had already been two of those tonight, but no. It was the really cute Irish guy…no Roman I don’t think you get it, he’s super hot from Seth’s literature Gen Ed class. Seth had invited him, Finn, on a ‘pre-date’. From the way Finn’s eyes lit up when he laid eyes on Seth in his costume, Roman was pretty sure that Seth’s worry that he might not be into dudes was for nothing, either that or the guy had enough of a leather kink that it might not actually matter.
Finn had hung around for a little while until things got quiet enough that Roman couldn’t really argue when Seth offered to go show him around. Which was when Roman’s night began to take a turn from okay to very not fun.
Without the extra pair of hands, when the waves of customers came, Roman struggled to keep up with rush, and without Seth’s easy smile and ridiculous laugh to deflect them he had to deal with all the flirtatious comments on his own. If even one of them had been his type it might not have been so bad, but everyone so far was lacking in a certain something that Roman preferred his dates to have.
Occasional cute kid…or puppy…or goat aside, Roman was pretty much convinced that this whole night was going to be a write off. Not for the animal hospital…lots of people had come tonight and spent lots of money, but for himself. Being ditched by a buddy was never fun, however Seth did seem really interested in this Finn guy so he tried not to think too harshly of him, apart from the whole moments of cursing his existence thing, but if you couldn’t curse your best bud, who could you curse?
Not thinking too harshly of Seth was made infinitely easier when the man himself returned with Finn and a hotdog that he recognised as one of the nurses in tow.
“Ro! We are here to release you from your servitude! Elena’s gonna hold the fort so we can go check out the haunted house…it’s supposed to be a real hoot.”
He didn’t need to be asked twice. With a grateful smile for Elena, he slipped out from behind the counter to join his friend.
There was a short wait at the haunted house, the line just long enough to give Roman a chance to get to know Finn a little and to come to an initial conclusion that he was okay. He signalled his approval to Seth with a subtle thumbs up when Finn stepped up to the ticket booth to pay their admission.
The haunted house had been designed to suit all ages, even the youngest carnival goers, and their group was mainly made up of quite small children with their parents, but that made the tour even more entertaining. The shrieks and yells and laughter of the little ones were contagious, and all the adults found themselves joining in with abandon. Even some of the actors found it tough to stay in character, more than one having to jump back behind whatever fixture they had jumped out from to attempt to save face.
The actors were kept busy scuttling around behind the scenes from room to room to jump out at the guests over and over again. Roman was sure that the cute blond vampire lurking near the doorway of this last room was the same one who had laughed so hard in the cobweb strewn bedroom that he’d almost lost his fangs. As he got closer and was able to get a clearer look he realised he was right.
He also realised that Hottie the Impaler was checking him out.
Making sure he was thinking good butt thoughts, Roman slowed down snails pace as he passed by the hiding spot, coming to a complete halt as the man sprang out to chase the crowd.
“Raaaaaaaaa…aaa?”
Count Cutie smashed into Roman’s broad back.
“Hey pal, you’re supposed to run here…I’m supposed to be chasing you…” The vampire’s voice was a low urgent growl, hampered only slightly by his pointed teeth.
Roman turned round smiling, extending a hand in greeting.
“Isn’t the whole point of chasing that someone gets caught? Congratulations Count, you caught me. The name’s Roman.”
The blond man hesitated for a second, then slipped out his fangs, stretching out his other hand to meet Roman’s handshake.
“Dean…and by your costume and the general Jason Momoa hotness, I’m guessing you’re the guy on the concession stand I’ve been hearing about all night. Gotta say, those moms were underselling…”
“Roman! Hurry up! We gotta get back!” Seth’s voice drifted back in from outside.
“Duty calls,” Roman shrugged apologetically. ”But maybe after we’re all done here tonight we can head over to Angelo’s for pizza and a couple of beers. Get to know each other?”
Dean gave the plan a thumbs up. “As long as we go easy on the garlic.”
“Oh yeah…vampire…good commitment to character.” Roman’s laughter was silenced when Dean leaned in close.
“No you big idiot,” Plastic fangs pressed against his neck. “I don’t vant to suck your blood on a first date but I do vant a kiss!”
