      Maybe they go to a slaughter house and get some animal blood and put it in a container and use as a lure to draw the demons to it, but the blood is spiked with holy water, consecrated from the pope, which was STOLEN from one of the kid's grandmother's possessions, and they pour in the water to the blood and a wild spectacle of lights, explosions and fireworks like displays happens as the demons devour the blood.
      
      Okay, that may not be great, but it's the best I can do in a pinch.

                If you read the bible, the whole reason demons exist in the first place, is because of women. They were angles, saw beautiful women they wanted, and came to earth in human form. This was a sin, they were kicked out of heaven, and now they are demons. Come to think of it, isnt that what sort of happend to Adam too? ANYWAY....I betch can thinkof something to do tastefully, with girls attracting teh demson...to some sort of trap. Sliver handcuffs for eternity or something...

       So, they could dip the spearpoints in holy water OR!  GET THIS!  The spearpoints could be made of FROZEN HOLY WATER!  Like ice sculpture spear points.  That ought to do it.  A totally graphic image came into my head of a demon getting one of those frozen holy water spear points right in the heart, and melting like the Wicked Witch of the West...

                Thanks for asking, CW, yeah, just stuck myself-no hubs in my merry little head at the moment.
                But you know what?  This is what I love about HubPages, the support!

          I say go for it, Lorlie....If not in this thread then go jump aroun din the other ones and see if anything else strikes you as interesting to write about.
          
          Or go look at my hubs and pick one of the topics I've already written on or any of your other fans...don't worry about "stealing" an idea from someone....steal away I say

    Hey CW sounds like a cool story. Maybe they could construct nets and wepons using their costumes?

    Have them stumble upon the only New Year Masquerade Ball Mask that can, when worn by a particular person in the group, help fight and defeat the demons.
    
    Hope this helps, Lee E. Shilo:)
