Melanie has the questions, I have the animations and videos to prove it.
Favorite horror or Halloween-themed song? Here’s a couple. First, Bobby Bare with “Marie LaVeau”…
Then, “I Put A Spell On You,” originally done by Screamin’ Jay Hawkins. My favorite cover is by Creedence Clearwater Revival…
And it ain’t Halloween without Bobby “Boris” Pickett and “Monster Mash”…
Do you ever see figures in your peripheral vision? Of course! That’s the purpose of peripheral vision, isn’t it?
Which urban legend scares you the most? None of them scare me. The one I know the most about is Resurrection Mary, a Chicago-area legend that claims there’s a ghost who’s hitchhiking near the Willowbrook Ballroom in Willow Springs, Illinois. You pick her up, and she disappears magically when you pass Resurrection Cemetery in Justice, Illinois. From 1977, Guy Gilbert, “The Ballad of Resurrection Mary”…
You’re home alone but you hear footsteps in your house, what do you do? Look for the cat…
What is your favorite season? I’m with Jim Gaffigan here…
That’s it for this week…
The Sound of One Hand Typing 
The classic rock station I listen to when driving played “Monster Mash” Monday morning. A blast from the past. Good answers, John, especially the cat.

We used to have an oldies station that would go crazy with “Monster Mash” around Halloween. I don’t know if our classic rock station plays it. They should…
I like that cat animation…

That comedian is hilarious and I watched the Hot Picket one too. I enjoyed listening to the songs and love ” Put a Spell on You”. I can’t think of a song except for Psycho. I can’t think of Any urban legends except when I was a teen, I was alone and was watching a show about Sasquatch. The woman said she was sitting on her couch and she felt someone was watching her. She turned her head to the window and saw Bigfoot looking at her. My head was to the back of a window so I tried no to sit there. I feel like I have seen someone in my peripheral vision. It made me double think.
Funny, years ago itcwas around 9ish and I eas having a glass of wine with my dog Katie beside me. I was watching ” The Prince and the Showgirl with Marilyn Monroe ( boring movie). The stars were kissing so no walking in the movie. Suddenly I and Katie, heard footsteps coming from the back door heading my way. I thought my ex was home from work but then I knew it was too soon. I thought someone broke in so I was going to throw my wine in their face. As soon as I was to see the mam in front of my TV room doorway the footsteps stopped! Katie went out and I found her in our library. Tgst was weird and I know they were footsteps with a man wearing dress shoes just from the sound they made. There have been other events happen in my home.

There are more than a few people who believe that Sasquatches roam some forests here, and that the government is keeping it quiet. I know a lot of people claim that’s a conspiracy theory, but I’ve seen too many “conspiracy theories” prove to be true that I keep an open mind.
Did you ever figure out who or what it was that was making the walking sound, and did it ever happen again?

No, the walking did not but my ex and I were watching TV, again the TV show was in a talking scene when we heard a crash at the Stairway. It sounded like someone falling with their metal walker. Now, my mom had a hip replacement done and she was upstairs in her apt. We went upstairs but her walker, not metal, was in her living room and when we called out to her, she got annoyed because she was watching Diagnosis Murder and had not left her chair. After that, my ex heard knocking, again in the hall near the stairs and my mom heard knocking at the Stairway too. We do know that the former owners, husband and wife, lived in the home for yrs. She died while I was on the process of buying the home but her husband died in the mid 70s. He always wore regular shoes, never sneakers and later in life, he needed a walker to get around and he died in our home.

Monster Mash is a fun song. Love Credence!

Creedence is a true classic rock band. They played straight-ahead rock better than most. And Monster mash was a stroke of genius…

Oh yes you have to go with the Monster Mash… although Thriller would be a close second.

I’m not as fond of “Thriller.” Maybe it’s the video I don’t like….
