No body.• Have you heard about the panty raid on the coven? It was an embarrassment of witches.• Why don't witches like to ride their brooms when they're angry? They're afraid of flying off the handle.• What do you call a werewolf who likes to work with clay? A hairy potter.Speaking of food, here's a menu that the authors have cooked up just for Halloween.
