WHAT MAKES OCTOBER CREEPY?
- Thought #4…men in tights and/or makeup
BAG SNATCHING TRICKS
- Use “bait bags” for the following fun ideas…
- Fill a bag with doggy-doo…and a tracking device. Call the cops and report your doggy-doo stolen.
- Fill a bag with rotten meat and eggs…underneath some legit “treats” of course.
- Fill a bag with reptiles, rodents and/or spiders. Everyone loves reptiles, rodents and spiders.
- Fill a bag with real candy…that you’ve given a voyage in the toilet.
- Fill a bag with used underwear from the thrift store. And make sure it looks really used.
HALLOWEEN HORRORSCOPES
- Aries – Your lack of candy could test people, but they have all the toilet paper they require.
- Taurus – Your energy is extremely low. Snickers won’t satisfy.
- Gemini – The battle between good and evil candy rages on. Check your candy twice.
- Cancer – You will have an unexpected epiphany. You will understand your fathers’ hatred for silver weapons.
- Leo – Give trick-or-treaters year old penny candy. Wait to see what happens.
- Virgo – Beware of grey squirrels. They’re out to get you.
- Libra – You’re very intelligent but lack common sense. Watch out for zombies.
- Scorpio – Watch your every step. Someone else is.
- Sagittarius – Don’t answer your phone. Trust me, don’t answer your phone.
- Capricorn – You will come in contact with vampires. Too bad you’re allergic to garlic.
- Aquarius – you don’t believe in ghosts. Oh, but you certainly will.
- Pisces – Tell your friends about this most odd podcast you’ve found…or else!
