As one might deduce from the postings this week, my instincts have been trying to drag me to the dark corners of the cave and disconnect from the outer world. But this is the Friday before Halloween, which was a fairly important holiday around here. Hell, it was damn near a religious holiday for the First Church Of The Great Bull Gopher. So i'm latching on to that and going to try to double down in our regular ceremonial woos-out of Friday Night Fights, so we're going for both the F & G in this week's
In keeping with the upcoming holiday, we've got a Monster (& SciFi) Quiz and a Creepy Game. Not surprisingly, i won't be crediting the source of the quiz today. Not making it that easy. But, do note that this quiz comes from the long lost days of 1974, so answer accordingly. (And that explains why certain yet-to-be genre celebrities go un-noted in some questions)
As usual, tune in tomorrow for the answers to the quiz.
In the meantime, here's a game for you to play while you wait:
This game was designed by Bill Dubay, a name you should recognize. Right?
This was originally done for Creepy #55. They promised us a Giant Color Poster inside, but they snuck this game in unannounced, with the playing board serving as the inside front & back covers:
Of course, you'll need playing pieces:
...some cards...
...and, of course, rules by which to play the game:
You'll also need a random number generator. If you can't find a six sided die, this cut-out spinner is provided:
But really. The six sided die is much easier.
Oh, and that Post Title?
This was the 201st post.
(Those weird things up there do make sense, if one has the context.)
