Put On Your Costume-and Order My SandWITCH!!!

I just wanted to give you a quick reminder (while there’s still time to get your costume ready, if you aren’t prepared) that there will be costume contests for both adults and kids this Saturday- when I make my first appearance ever at Tom and Eddie’s gourmet burger place at the Shops at Butterfield –Yorktown Center- in Lombard! Not only will I be there to sign autographs and pose for photos with you, but I will also m.c. the costume contests- and winners are in line to receive $50 gift certificates for Tom and Eddie’s! Have you SEEN the burgers they have there? Just the picture of one in our commercial had me hankering for some… I’ve also mentioned before- for that day only, and only at this location- you can order the signature Sven delight- Svengoolie’s Chicken SandWITCH- nope, no rubber chicken here- just tasty real chicken, topped with witch finger onion rings, green slime pesto, ghost pepper coulie (that’s a sauce- hey, don’t feel bad- I had to look it up, too!), and a side order of bloody fries (it’s ketchup, folks)! This is the first foodstuff named for me, and I’m thrilled that Tom and Eddie’s has decided to honor me in this manner-though a few smart alecks have asked if, since it’s named after me, it should be a little cheesy…anyway, make sure you suit up to enter the costume contest, because the food there is definitely worth the effort! I’ll be there from 1 to 3 pm- with the contest near the end of the two hours- so, as our commercial says- come hungry and dressed to kill! Another reminder- the following evening, from 6 to 8 pm, you can meet me at the Zombie Annihilation Haunted House at Hawthorne Race Course! Sunday night the 14th,you can come and experience this zombie-filled fright, and, if you can survive the last stand against the Zombie Apocalypse, you’ll get a special survival kit, including a cool Zombie Annihilation comic book, done in the style of the great Marvel Comics founding artist- Jack Kirby! Once again, I’ll be signing autographs and taking photos with you- plus-we’ll have a limited number of Sven t-shirts and button sets for sale! By the way- military personnel get in free with ID! So- you have two chances this weekend to spend some time with me!Meanwhile,we need a “Halloween Horror of the Day” for today, and I thought we’d go old school- and dedicate today to someone who does the opposite of what I’ve written about above- make appearances! Of course, I’m talking about- the Invisible Man! A scientist named Griffin who discovered a plant used in foreign countries that could take the color out of cloth- but also eventually made the cloth fall apart. Using his amazingly brilliant mind, he used the plant to concoct a formula that could turn a man invisible! Making himself his guinea pig, he became invisible- but then, needed to find a way back from the condition- as the formula began to affect his mind, slowly driving him mad! He soon thought nothing of murdering anyone who crossed his path- and sent the English countryside into a fearful frenzy, as the people became aware of a deadly enemy that they could not see- who could be right beside them, ready to do them in, while they didn’t even realize it! Strangers and those he loved alike became targets of the transparent terror- as seen in the classic 1933 film version starring Claude Rains. If you’ve ever “seen” it- then, it’s perfectly “clear” why the Invisible Man is our “Halloween Horror of the Day”!
