From Scott Renfield on the Halloween email group I subscribe to comes this
GREAT idea for the 3' poseable skeletons - they're cheapest at K-Mart!!!
They're the same ones they have at Target, Spirit and other sources . . .
"I bought one of those 3-foot skeletons that Kmart carries (they marked
them down a couple of bucks, so I had to buy it) and decided to dress it up as a
TOT (Halloween List shorthand for "trick or treater"). I
dug through my boxes and found my niece's Annie costume, and a ratty red wig
from about 1965 (Beatle cut, of all things.) My wife used a curling iron
on it and to our delight the entire ensemble looks very bizarre. This was
not enough for me, however. I wrote new lyrics for Tomorrow (Annie's earnest and cloying theme) and convinced our neighbor's
9-year-old daughter to let me record her singing it. The lyrics follow:
The dead'll come out at midnight
Bet your bones that at the stroke of midnight
They'll be here.
There isn't a doubt that midnight
Is the time for ghouls and ghosts and goblins
To appear.
Behind you, behind you,
They're coming to find you;
They're only a grave away.
Behind you, behind you,
They're coming to find you;
They're only a graaave awaaay.
