Several years ago, a Saturday afternoon in the height of the Baseball season.i was tweaking the thumb on our Witch animatronic. I wanted to twist the thumb so her grip ( on a lantern) looked more natural. I use my own body parts as a template for our puppets, easier to maintain scale. So the Witches arm, from shoulder to fingertips, is quite muscular. So I sliced off her thumb, then reattached it using hot glue, and tossed the arm into the freezer to set. Then I sat down to watch Albert Pujols come to the plate. As luck would have it, my wife picked that particular moment to awaken from an afternoon nap, and defrost some chicken for supper...

Thats why I find Halloween humorous.

Guru sees nothing humorous about Halloween...
I've got a hundred stories and memories like the one above.

Years ago I was intrigued by why people laugh when they are frightened in a Haunted House, so I looked into it. It turns out that fear stimulates the hippocampus portion of the brain. This is related to emotion and short term memory. Short term - we KNOW we are in no danger; emotion - what the HELL is that!
the combination causes laughter.
BTW, the hippocampus is the first part of the brain to fall to Alzheimer's Disease. So, if you don't think Halloween is humorous, giit yerself checked out...,
