MakeASceneHalloweenStory lets you build scenes by moving pictures around the screen. Scenes can then be used to create a story. Scenes and stories can be emailed to friends. Friends can view the still images and text, or they can load the scene or story into MakeASceneHalloween 2.0 (free) or MakeASceneHalloweenStory. As pictures are moved around the Spanish word for them is pronounced or displayed. When tapped the English word is displayed. Or, the English and Spanish can be reversed. This helps teach reading and speaking in English and Spanish.

Shapes can be resized and rotated by touching, but tool buttons allow more control, or to manipulated animated shapes which can be hard to get ahold of. The tool buttons let you:

Enlarge the image size
Reduce the image size
Enlarge horizontally

Enlarge vertically

Rotate counter clockwise

Move the image towards the back
Move the image towards the front
Flip vertically
Flip horizontally
Return the image to its original state
Select the next image (selected image will have greenish tint)

Remove the tint (it will still be selected)
Delete the image from the screen.

Scenes and stories that are made can be saved and later reloaded. The load screen includes a preview of files that have been saved.
