#ScaryStoriesIn5Words: Here's how Twitter celebrated Halloween

As the world gets ready for Halloween and people are busy deciding what costume to wear to this year’s party, social media is celebrating in its own way–by making the hashtag #ScaryStoriesIn5Words trend on Twitter. [caption id=“attachment_1781851” align=“alignleft” width=“380”] From Nolan directing Humshakals 2 to Chetan Bhagat writing another book, Twitter made sure this Halloween was hilarious. Reuters[/caption] The hashtag was started by @midnight, an internet-based improv comedy show in the US. However soon, the Twitterati took over the hashtag and started tweeting out their own versions of a scary story. Perhaps the best part was the Indian version of the viral hashtag. From Rahul Gandhi becoming the Prime Minister of India to the horror of finding Kamaal Khan under your bed, Indians made sure their nightmares were noticed on Twitter. Here are some of the hilarious tweets:
