"They're creepy and they're kooky, all together ooky..."
and so goes the theme song of The Addams Family. Happy Haunting!
There were two monster-themed tv series from 1964 to 1966, The Munsters and The Addams Family. The Munsters featured Frankenstein monster Herman Munster, a "regular kind of guy" just trying to make an honest living...and not sure why the neighbors were so weirded out by his family! The Addams Family featured the wealthy Gomez, wife Morticia, Uncle Fester and Lurch the giant butler ...and Thing (was just a hand...eeek), and Cousin Itt..... Odd that there were two monster-y kinds of shows back in THOSE days...and they are considered so tame compared to The Walking Dead and other zombie types of current shows. Zombies sure win out on the ugh! factor.
But I digress, as usual. We have our own Halloween celebration in Concept2 land...
Day 1 of 7....get on the Skeleton Crew Honor Board with 31 K
Some may knock this meter number out in a single day, and others will find it just perfect for a Challenge that you can complete. Seven days to finish up 31K. Here's the write up from Concept2!
