The idea for this t-shirt came from the B-Movie Cast podcast. Really, anyone who can make it all the way through Manos: The Hands of Fate should proudly declare their success to the world.

So far, the subjects of my Countdown to Halloween have been slightly … eclectic? Obtuse? Obscure. I’ll be getting into some more famous monsters starting tomorrow.

Who’s Got My Skinny Toe? Final

skinnyToe-final-ems

Don’t pick up strange, skinny toes. What sort of germs do you think are on that thing?

“Skinny Toe” is a story off the old “Scary Spooky Stories” record and is a variation of the “Golden Arm” story that Mark Twain loved to tell. Many kids had great giggling fun speeding up the story on the record player. Courtesy of the awesome WFMU blog, I present “Skinny Toe” at scary, spooky speed.
