MAC'S NO. 13 IS COOL!

This horror-themed parody ad is tucked away in the June 1961 issue of PLAYBOY. Amazingly, the product is still being sold at auto parts stores as Mac's 1300! On the order of Shel Silverstein's Teevee Jeebies and a few years later in Marvel's MONSTERS TO LAUGH WITH.

A PARENT'S WORST HALLOWEEN NIGHTMARE

TRICK OR TREAT, YOU LITTLE MONSTERS!

Pardon my indulgence, but I'm in a weird mood today. My thoughts have been awash in turbid morbidity with just a dash of the sardonic.

GREAT MOMENTS IN HORROR HISTORY: "KEEP DRIVING, HONEY -- I'M NOT HUNGRY YET!"

It's been a while since I've been in a weird mood, but I am today.

GREAT MOMENTS IN HORROR HISTORY

Good evening. This one's for all you horror history buffs. On this date in 1845, Edgar Allan Poe's poem "The Raven" was first published in The New York Evening Mirror.

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,

Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,

While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,

As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.

'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door —

Only this, and nothing more."

[The Raven by E.A. Poe. First Stanza]
