Halloween Crypt-O-Quote Spoiler – 10/31/20

“I’ll stop wearing black when they make a darker color.”   —   Wednesday Addams

(Not sure if Charles Addams actually penned this line, or if it was simply spoken by Christina Ricci in one of the “Addams Family” movies.  I don’t think she ever said anything that dark – or funny – in the old television series.  That old series was one of the highlights of my childhood.  John Astin and Carolyn Jones were the best!  Be well, be safe and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Halloween Jumble Spoiler – 10/31/20

Visual Description:  Family fright night.

RUBYL  =  BURLY,  PAATD  =  ADAPT,  SJYULT  =  JUSTLY,  MOONDI  =  DOMINO   —   Giving us:  BRLAPUTLIO

Clue/Question:  The horror movie set in the cemetery had a – – –

Answer:  BURIAL PLOT

(Ooh!  That’s a rancid stinker of a pun.  Smells like formaldehyde, fetid soil, and withering rotting flesh, with just a soupcon of dangling eyeball and musty mold-encrusted clothing.  You can almost hear the linguistic zombies moaning and groaning.  But, Jumble-pun lovers rejoicing!

All of today’s clue words have ralis95 headstones.  Two of the jumbles have freshly dug graves, but both “rubyl” and “paatd” have been entombed in the ground a long long time.  The answer letter layout was a terror-ific ten letter jumble.  Beautifully crypt-ic. 

Those crazy teens always think hanging out in a cemetery is so cool.  Until that first hand pops out of the ground, and grabs you around the ankle!  It’s pretty clear that Ben Better never got better.  But, at least now he’s un-dead!  Be well and do good, friends.  Have a safe and Happy Halloween!)   —   YUR
