A very original selection, as always, and funny in keeping with the tradition of the Crypt that we all love. Gotta love old Abe too, he was one of a kind.

Fiiiissssh, why there nere were some wun crazy and funny as all get up as that dude and by gum if he weren't Abe Vigoda in reel life.
This here is a fantastic entry into the contest and just as zany of the kind of illogical logic that I understand completely.
This is what you call faaaaaaar out man and what a ride. The witching hour is soon arriving, that be July thirty first.
Exceptional writing Mav.

Wow, Ange, some obscure references there. Fish? You guys get that up there? LOL Faaaaaaar out, JD. Toooo funny. I'm so pleased you understand all of this. I'm not sure if that's a good thing for you, but I'm here for you at least. You're too kind and wonderful. Thanks trillions. Mav
Comment from F. Wehr3
"I got a girl in the Castle and one in the pagoda. You know I got rhymes like Abe Vigoda."- Beastie Boys. Lol, nice redneck-isms sprinkled throughout your piece. I think your humor shines in the story. I found a couple of things for your consideration.
young un --suggest young 'un
commin' --suggest comin'
"Shucks, Ruthaford McGilicudy the Third, if you had a song you could sing to me, you could give me a day just like today and we could go crabbin' down by the crick,--You have a dependent clause followed by two complete sentences. I would suggest a comma before your conjunction and.
tip toen' --suggest tiptoein'
makin the fixin's-- this one difficult as fixins is written grammatically incorrect almost everywhere. Makin' needs the apostrophe to notate the missing g. In my opinion, fixins doesn't need the possessive form (and I have seen this exact spelling hundreds of times, lol).
"That der gal is smart as a school a guppies, she's got garlic stashed in the first place I'd look.--suggest another punctuation form other than a comma. A period, semi-colon, or comma /conjunction combo will do.
slicker n --suggest slicker'n as it replaces tha in than.
Overall, very entertaining story. I loved the Godfather references.
Take care,
Russell

Wow. Awesome detailed review and edits. So appreciated and encouraging. I think I ended up in third. I took the eight bucks and invested in Apple Computers. I'm cautiously optimistic. LOL mikey

Hooked by the Fish, wondering how hillbillies tied in to Wojo's buddy, I find a fine tongue-in-cheek Werepire story appropriate for a cryptic crumbling book...

Comment from Dean Kuch
Well, if it isn't my old fiends Unk, Buckshot and Thelma Notaman. So, how's death been treatin' y'all down there lately?
I see you've dug up another terror tome from your creepy, crawly, crusty collection. So, I'll just settle back and dig right in...
Good banter back and forth between Unk and Buckshot in the intro. I completely buried my hands in my skull...e-r-r-r, heh-heh... I mean, my face, and laughed. Of corpse, I'm often told that my sense of humus...Uh-h-h-h, humor is sometimes as dry as dirt...
As Mary and Ruthaford pitched woo as though they were tarrin' a roof, the Vampawolfers came tip toen' out of the woods....O-h-h-h-h... no, not Vampawolfers. Nasty lot, those. This sounds like it doesn'tbone bode well for our predisposed lovers...
All of a sudden in a flash right that instant, in the blink of an eye ... I guess it was pretty fast then, I take it? Heh-heh-heh...
Mary and Ruthaford got faced and passed out under some kind of tree. They were still virgins, saving themselves for Friday night's hootenanny. Joey Dee and the Starlighters would be playing. It would be a magical night. ...Being virtuous has it's advantages. Every true horror hound knows that only those who have sex out of dead-lock get the ax in horror movies. 'Sides, I dun heard Joey Dee and the Starlighters really put on one helluva show...
"The true function of the thinking mind is not thought; it is the chaos of interpretation. What doesn't it mean leaves the answer to the unasked question and the pathway to the tunnels entrance. Whether or not you enter it depends on your capacity to use geometric logic and think in abstractions as set forth in the works of George Foreman. Is it really healthy to drain the grease? Ask his wife as she makes peanut butter sandwiches for his seven sons named George. Did she marry him for his brains? The obvious answer is, yes." ... U-h-h-h-hhhhh... this entire portion of the sign-off was a wee bit over my skull, errrrrr... my head, I meant my head.
My question is, what the hell was Abe Vigoda doing in a movie like that? He's a good actor with some credentials."
"Don't you know? Everyone thinks he's dead. They cut off his royalties. Even Social Security cut him off. He's broke. Why do you think I hired him to sweep up here? It's a damn shame really. But hell, that scene in the Godfather was so convincing. I get the creeps just looking at him. It's like looking at a ghost. ... Abe Vigoda!? I knew there was something fishy about that movie ...
... Well, like all good things, this story had to come to an end. I enjoyed it. Of corpse, seeing some old fiends was kinda nice, too.
Now, get that tongue outta yer cheek, Mikey. It's had to understand you when you speak that way.
Until next time, this is Dr. Terry Fying, signing off.
Pleasant Screams!
Heh...heh...heh.

Mikey, this is a very good entry into the contest. Thoroughly enjoyed the reading of it. Great and convincingly believable dialogue going on here. Lots of information (almost overload for me! lol) to absorb, but it made everything perfectly clear. Loved it. Would give it a six-star rating, if I had one left! Good luck in the contest. God bless and hugs, Susanne

Little do people know you can run around for hours talking like this. This is just you jotting down what was going rhrough your insane mind at the moment. If you did this for two weeks, you`d have an insane book. NG
