Yes, the remote is the brain. If you decide your zombie might be lonely, get him some pets.
When he gets out of hand on his brain-eating rampage, you could have an angry mob all ready to go.
I bought a couple of things there, one of which was the "Dead Duck" rubber ducky to add to my collection.
The duck just in front of him looks a bit concerned, doesn't he?
And lastly, I found a great album while browsing through Atomic Records a couple of doors down from 8 Ball. I had already found Chilling, Thrilling Sounds of the Haunted House on eBay. One day, I'll borrow a turntable from someone so I can listen to it in all its glory.
As I was browsing, I got to chatting with the guys who work there, and they pointed out this find:
The official, original, spectacular The Haunted Mansion album, with storybook in the middle! Narrated by Thurl Ravenscroft (the original Tony the Tiger), who scared the crap out of me as a kid with his rendition of the Headless Horseman song. So excited about this! While I'm not a rabid fan of Disney, I am a fan of the Haunted Mansion for obvious reasons. (One of my dreams is to get a tour of The Haunted Mansion in California with the lights up! Although I suppose I could tolerate the one in France or Japan in a pinch... ;o))The album was in fantastic condition. I played it for my dad on his turntable almost the second I got home. He had the decency to look interested.
That find coincided with finding a copy of The Haunted Mansion: From the Magic Kingdom to the Movies. This book became my reading material immediately (as I had just finished Pride and Prejudice and Zombies) and I learned a lot of little things about the attraction I didn't know before. If you're interested in the Haunted Mansion, this book is a must read!It was a great day for unusual finds.
