Have fun
getting spooked in a graveyard
SITE OF THE DAY
by Jeremy Holder
GRAVEYARDS aren’t strictly known as places
you’d go for a barrel load of laughs. But today is Halloween, when
traditionally ghosts and witches appear … and virtual tombstones
hide dark, ghoulish fun.
Today’s top
site, Halloween Graveyard, allows you to explore the darker side of
things with tongue firmly rammed in cheek.
Fancy
yourself as a ghostbuster ? Then click on the Games gravestone and
try the Ghost Blaster game: a classic shoot ‘em up where the targets
are - you’ve guessed it - a bit on the spectral side.
Then move
to a neighbouring tombstone and get cursed by Griselda who is,
apparently, “always crabby when she’s unearthed in the middle of the
night”. This reviewer can expect an encounter with “motley purulence
extruding from the slime gullet of a crone-like
chicken”.
During your
graveyard tour, you can also view the webmaster’s favourite
tombstones and, while you are at it, browse through some genuine -
and funny - epitaphs.
You’ll also
meet a skull who tells your fortune, a rather suspect interactive
cyber-ouija board plus info about Punky Night - a Jack-o-Lanterns
festival held about now in two Somerset villages.
And don’t
forget to try and get the better of Mervox the Magnificent, the
magical black cat who without fail seemed to read this reviewer’s
mind. Can you figure it out?
