Each of the clues will contain a missing phrase which you will have to complete with a title, author, or character name from horror films or literature. The clue will include blanks showing the number of words needed to complete the pun, as well as (in parentheses) the number of words in the spooky name or title. For instance, the clue might be: If "hark" is a command to listen, does that ____ _ ______ is a person who hears? (2). That sentence can be completed with the words "mean a harker," which is a reference to Mina Harker, the wife of Jonathan Harker, who is pursued so relentlessly by Dracula.
