Audience Persona

Damien is a 10 year old boy, and his favorite holiday is Halloween. He loves everything about it, and especially coming up with the scariest or most interesting costume for the elementary school Halloween costume parade. This year he is going as zombie and he is trying to find something that would make his costume extra scary and realistic, but he is running out to time and has to figure something out for tomorrow. So he goes to his computer and google searches around. He comes across this site that talks is geared for kids and great ideas for Halloween costumes. He starts clicking through and decides that fake blood is the perfect thing to add that extra kick to his costume, plus the grumpy vampire that teaches you how to make it is funny and makes the recipe more fun to read. It seems easy enough to make so he copies it down. Also there is a tutorial on how to make a fake crime scene. Not only does this work well for his costume, but a now he has way of scaring people who want to his house for trick or treating!


Alfred and his son are building a haunted doorway for their house this year for halloween. They have set up a little haunted house type thing in front of the door, where there are different cubbies you have to open and feel around for candy, or a gross surprise. He wants to give his pealed grapes an extra level of grossness and scariness, so he decides to find a way to make fake blood. He searches on google and finds this flash animation. Alfrend and his son Steven sit down together to watch this fun animation. They both find it fun, and a little goofy, but non the less make it really fun to learn how to make fake blood and how to use.

Looks like you've got a nice set of words. I think what you made is more "cute" and "funny" than CSI and FBI. But I think you should keep it that way. The smoke and sounds are really fun. I still don't understand the chalkboard, though.
