Elementary school vampires

Elementary-school appropriate witch? Check. Mummy? Check. Werewolf? Check.
I was excited to teach my Japanese elementary school students (shogakusei) about Halloween, which was my favorite holiday throughout childhood. A lot of that was due to its proximity to my birthday. What's not to love about presents and candy and two consecutive days of celebration?
It wasn't all about my birthday, though. Some of my enthusiasm for Halloween was related to my early love of horror. I'd loved the genre ever since my mom found six-year-old me sneak-watching horror flicks from our hallway. Forbidden stuff, ooh!
