Bob-net Never Dies

Wrap up your Halloweek by watching SciFi’s live broadcasts from Louisville’s own Waverly Hills. They’ll be going until 3 in the morning!

Happy Halloween, guys!

What five items did you most enjoy — or most clearly remember — from your childhood trick-or-treat bag?

If you’re stuck at your desk this fine 31st, head over here and download the Halloween episode of Bob Dylan’s Theme Time Radio Hour. It’s well worth a listen. The intro track alone involves Steven Wright, vintage horror movie trailers, and Dylan himself reciting Poe. Enjoy!

Big ups to jek in the box for last week’s win! On to the next round…

Don’t (Maria Leach)

Don’t ever brag about what you’d do if you saw a ghost or one will surely come.

Don’t slam the door, because you might pinch some poor soul in it.

Don’t leave sharp knives lying around either, or some wandering spirit or ghost might get cut with them.

Don’t go looking over the graveyard wall. If you do, you will see ghosts.

Don’t laugh at ghosts. They are no joke.

In Germany, they say don’t bring an elder branch into the house because ghosts will come in with it.

If ever you come across an old hat or a piece of clothing lying on the ground with a stick across it, don’t pick it up. The stick is a sign that it belongs to a ghost. Don’t touch it.

Don’t yawn without covering your mouth with your hand. Ghosts are attracted by yawning. Some people say they will peer in and count your teeth — or your fillings. But a very common belief in the world is that your soul can slip out when you yawn. And some ghost can slip in. If this happens, you will sicken. And die.

Don’t ever speak to a ghost unless you really want it to answer, because ghosts have to answer as soon as spoken to.
