    The Alice Cooper line hooked me! That was great all around.

    Also enjoyed the Alice Cooper response, that and the line about the TV. Spooky fun!

    I guess the fun and games aren’t quite over yet then.

    I always find it unnerving in books and films when an electrical item continues to work after the plug has been pulled.

      I’m amazed they didn’t check for batteries!

    I’m guessing they should have brought a battery-powered radio. Then they could have locked it away after manifestation?

    See, you could tell it was evil as soon as it quoted Prince. I’d shudder too.

    This one was especially clever. Despite the radio, it had a “TV” feel to me. I could see it being turned into a television episode without too many alterations.

    Things got genuinely scary by the end — the last couple of lines really tied things up. It figures it would go into a china doll next — those are creepy even without being possessed!
