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!
