For Halloween chills, we take a look at the evil that lies lurking behind the unassuming facade of one neighborhood cheese shop. What we find there is a cross between Alice Cooper, Monty Python, and Broadway's "Little Shop of Horrors."
Halloween is coming... and we have bad news. All the people you know — or who you thought you knew — have recently turned into zombies. Even famous celebrities, like Rob Zombie and Danny Undead, are jumping on the zombie bandwagon.
Halloween is coming... and so are hordes of scary vampires! Here's a tip: there's one ordinary vegetable, which you can pick up your local supermarket, that will keep those blood-suckers at bay.
Hey, I have a question. If the pollsters are so good at measuring the political pulse of the public, then why do we need to go to all the trouble of having everybody vote?
What was Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islam thinking, flying into the USA? We're a nation at war, and he's an outspoken peace advocate. Of course we had to deport him before he could threaten our security with his soul-searching folk songs!

Corporate radio keeps getting worse and worse. For one DJ, it's the last straw when the radio station computer plays the Bay City Rollers' classic pop hit on the wrong day of the week.
A song that captures the boldness, the grandeur, the giddy fun of zooming around in outer space. Perhaps the Star Trek folks would have better luck if they made "Star Trek:My Big Fat Starship."
