As it turns out, what started off as a campy-horror movie night with close friends on Saturday has officially exploded into a full-blown party. So last night, I stopped at the dollar-store to scour through the Halloween fixings (as dollar-store Halloween junk is always the lamest and, thus, the greatest).

I scored a "horror-sounds" cd for just $1. Needless to say it kicks ass.

At a climactic moment on the cd, a) a rooster crows, b) a dog barks, and c) glass shatters, all in quick succession.

I cannot even begin to fathom a horrifying scenario in which all three would take place in a row. Unless the rooster was like 70-feet tall and man-eating.

I suspect the cd's creator had just started running out of scary sound-fx buttons on his sweet 1980s Casio keyboard.
