ANOTHER YEAR WITHOUT SPOOKY WORLD — by Steve Nadis
For a number of years, Spooky World and me were as likely a combination as Lewis&Martin and Green Eggs&Ham. But last year Spooky World was torn down and its parts sold off to the lowest bidder. Now it’s starting to look like another Halloween without Spooky World. (Note: Please don’t make a habit of this!) Rumors have circulated on this blog, and in the blogosphere in general, that Spooky World was moving to a new venue. But that is not to be–at least for 2005. Maybe in 2006, they say. But are they right? And, if so, who are “they”?
The way things are shaping up now, it seems that if you need your annual fix of the “House of Fangs,” and want to spend some quality time with the Killer Klowns, Disco Ghosts, and the whole horrifying retinue, you’d better stop by my place which is fast becoming a low-rent Spooky World unto itself. But don’t come right away. I need some time to mess up the place. Trash it out real good so that it’s guaranteed to send any neat freak into a state of total panic. Hang on–I’ll have this pit, or perhaps I should say dive, ready in no time. Oh shit–I mean, oh good–I just spilled a vat of fake blood. Now if I can just find my ersatz vomit I’ll be all set.

BOO!
Please don’t scare me like that. I’m really jumpy & don’t like suprises of any kind, including comments jumping out at you when you least expect it.
Happy Halloween! Here’s a bag of candy corn to make up for scaring ya.
Hey you don’t have to tell me about ersatz vomit. One should always be careful when drinking ersatz.
Go for it! The most fun I ever had was my daughter’s 13th birthday which fell on Friday the 13th. So we had a theme party: coffin, cobwebs, severed hand in fridge, bloody shower curtain in the bathroom and lots of eerie music.
I agree Doc, ersatz vomit should be handled with care. Sounds like a great party & for once the calendar cooperated.
Nice going,every one enjoys your work.
