Dr Morbid's scream factory was very busy.
Everyone thought that the run up to Halloween was his busiest time, and it is true they had a lot of screams to produce in time for the end of October.
But what people didn't realise was that Dr Morbid didn't just specialise in horrible screams.
No, he also produced screams of joy, and of surprise too.
He was quite busy in the run up to the summer holidays, particularly when it was going to be hot: you needed a lot of screams when the hose pipe came out to cool off excited children.
Christmas holidays were busy too. The screams of excitement, from adults and children alike, as they opened their presents on Christmas morning, were all his work.
He was particularly proud of his piercing young girl scream. You know the one where you think a child is being murdered, but actually they are having the best time ever (usually being chased by their friends).
Dr Morbid grew his screams in a special tank. It contained the souls of humans that had forgotten their way.
Sometimes they tried to escape from the tank...
