Sample post: Bad Trick or Treat Ideas: Loose ChangeNothing says grubby quite like someone else’s slightly warm loose change. Though, if you want to kick the grub factor up a notch, putting that loose change in an old, wrinkled plastic sandwich bag and handing it out to trick-or-treaters should just about do the trick. It’s disgusting, dude. Might as well give out a bagful of your toenail clippings. Do yourself and the rest of humanity a favor, spend the ten spot and pick up a bag of candy, you know, so I don’t have to be plagued by your grotesque germs.

ONLY ONE OF US CAN BE THE COP!

This happens every year, so get it together, people: Only ONE of us can be the Cop from the Village People*. And you must wear the Officially Licensed VP Cop Costume, which has a blue patch sewn onto it along with the screenprinted words: “Village People Officially Licensed Mer-chandise.” If you see a VP Cop Costume without this, tell your Of-ficially Licensed VP Biker or Con-struction Worker friend to beat the shit out of them. Victor Willis will thank you.Village People Cop Costume$81.99halloweencos-tumes.com*We know nobody wants to be the Chief, but they don’t have it anyway.

Panic! loves us some Jack-O-Lanterns and these sites take pumpkin carving to the X-factor! If you’ve got the tools and the time, these sites will inspire you to pumpkin-carving greatness with galleries and tutorials. Pumpkin Gutter is the Louvre of carved pumpkin art from Perryton, Texas-native Scott Cummins, the Michelangelo of 3-D Jack-O-Lanterns. Tom Nardone at Extreme Pumpkins is no slouch, either. Nardone hosts an annual carving contest online. Just send him a photo and he’ll pick a winner and “send you some sort of prize.” Heh.Our favorite? The Lionel Richie Pumpkin.

CHATTANOOGA’S ULTIMATE HALLOWEEN GUIDE | OCTOBER 13, 2011 | www.ChaTTanOOgapulsE.COm20

Ready to take a walk on the weird side? Chattanooga Ghost Tours offers a walking ghost tour through downtown Chattanooga. Along the way, your guide will regale you with ghost stories, entertaining tidbits about various sites—and don’t forget your camera. Ghost orbs, mists and even fully formed figures frequently appear in photos at some sites on the tour.

Tours begin nightly, rain or shine, at 8:15 p.m. on the downtown side of the Walnut Street Bridge and proceed at a leisurely pace to the Read House, home of the infamous Room 311 and its permanent inhabitant, Anna Lisa Netherly, with numerous stops along the way.

Chattanooga Ghost Tours, formed by former attorney and ghost enthusiast Amy Petulla (who co-authored Haunted Chattanooga, profiled in last week’s Panic!), has been ranked as one of the Top 10 Ghost Tours in the Country, according to TripAdvisor.com and has been called “the city’s only REAL haunted attraction.” For diehard ghosthunters, the tour also offers electromagnetic field dectors to detect otherworldly spirits and phenomena.

For more information about the tour, visit the website at chattanoogaghosttours.com or call (423) 821-7125 for reservations.

Tour tickets are $14 for adults, $9 for children 12 and under. Discounts are available for groups of eight or more.

Halloween costume contestChattanooga’s North Shore Santa is

gearing up for Halloween with a costume

contest from 5 to 9 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 29 and Sunday, Oct. 30 at Santa’s NorthShore Workshop, 436 Frazier Ave.

Entrants will be divided into adult and children groups from 5 to 9 p.m. on both days. Entry fee is $20 for adults, free for children.

Staffers will photograph costumed contestants. Photos will be posted on the store’s Facebook page where visitors can vote for best costume. Copies of the photos, which will be set against a Halloween-theme background, are also available for purchase. Santa will turn Wizard for the event and is happy to pose with any Harry Potter fans.

Prizes include gift certificates and merchandise from area restaurants and shops. For more information, contact “Santa” Richard Bonnington at (423) 255-0024.

Nazis vs. zombiesIn Zombies vs. Nazis: A Lost History

of the Walking Dead, zombie expert—a much-ignored field of pursuit, in our estimation—Scott Kenemore unearths a collection of lost top-secret documents from the era (originally intercepted by the U.S. Signal Corps in 1941 and presented to Franklin Roosevelt in a confidential memorandum), describing the efforts of the Nazi Sicherheitsdienst (or SD) to harness and weaponize Haitian voodoo and zombie-creating techniques in an attempt to create an immortal army.

While the Nazis initially dream of creating an army of bloodthirsty, automaton super-zombies to march across Europe, they soon learn the walking dead are not as obedient and

malleable as they’ve been led to believe. Nazi agents quickly find that the walking dead of the Haitian backwoods are brain-eating, flesh-rending dynamos who go for the jugular with little loyalty.

Can it be true? Only Kenemore knows for sure, but zombiezonenews.com—the arbiter of all things zombie— gives it two thumbs up, calling the book “engaging, entertaining and so plausible that it will make you think.”

Kenemore is no newcomer to the zombie genre. The Chicago writer is the author of The Art of Zombie Warfare: How to Kick Ass Like the Walking Dead and a slew of other volumes devoted to the undead, including his recent novel, Zombie, Ohio.
