WITCHES MEADOW -- There will be no more bobbing for poison apples in Witches Meadow. At least for now.

This evening, bad health inspectors shut down the popular poison apple stand in Spell Willows, placing an “F” on the broken boards out front, for allowing paying customers to bob for faulty fatal fruit.

“Sure, the apples sent victims into sleeping deaths,” said one evil enchantress who frequents the establishment, “which is cool. But love’s first kiss is causing the effect to wear off. What a rip.”

Dozens of disappointed customers have been lining up for their money back. And while they’re getting full refunds, that doesn’t change the fact that now the woods are filled with gallant princes on horseback frolicking about, kissing and waking the dead …

“Maybe this isn’t so bad after all,” said Necro Nomicon, a resident six feet under the Cemetery of the Dead. “Just so long as they’re not waking us with a smile and a song.”
