T. Rex. Mark II

(RJ discussing a recent project over breakfast)

RJ: LR made a Toothless. I and J made a Toothless. H made a Toothless… Everyone made a Toothless!

RJ: (grinning) But not me… I made a T Rex with rocket boosters…

RJ: Now that is something really scary… Even if you’re an astronaut.

RJ: But don’t worry, I didn’t give him any batteries.

The End is Near

(I had to ask what a Toothless was… Oh, of course… )

Do you want to see something really scary?

(Looking at LR’s new learning-to-draw book)

LR: That werewolf is really scary, daddy. I don’t like it.

Dad: Yeah, they made him pretty freaky looking.

RJ: I love werewolves. I like it when they hide.

Dad: Have you seen them hiding around here?

RJ: Yes. In the… in the kitchen.

Dad: In the kitchen?

RJ: Well they use their magic and turn into a tortoise, or vegetables, or magnets, or a picture… and… and…

Dad: Yeah?

RJ: (whispering) One time I saw him turn into a fridge.

Halloween Haunted Garage Ends in Tragedy

For most of us, a Halloween party means costumes, candy and a good time, but those attending the Marshall’s annual Halloween party left with only tears and potential sleepless nights.

Promoted as a kid-friendly take on the classic Haunted House, visitors were alarmed by the terrifying sounds and sights within. Groups of children, faces streaked with tears, were seen being led away to the protective arms of their parents.

Visitors to the Haunted Garage encountered a dark, fog-filled cavern and guided through a dark, webbed tunnel swarming with tarantulas, before being attacked by vampire bats.

A statement from Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service (AQIS) officials states that the garage will be quarantined for the next 24 hours while they assess the scope of the infestation and determine the source of the non-native species. Sources indicate that the attached residence may require demolition to eliminate the outbreak.

Several disturbed guests reported encountering a strange seated figure with glowing eyes, a horrific crime scene involving dismembered teddy bears, and being attacked by an eerie floating apparation.

Some of the more confused reports include glimpses of a freakish ape man, or perhaps a gorilla, living within the depths of the garage, but these have not been corroborated. Perth Zoo officials have been contacted and an investigation is pending.

Police are requesting that anyone with any information regarding these events contact the Crime Stoppers Hotline at…
