I Am ZoZo Page #2

Okay. Uh, well,

to be honest...

I am deathly afraid

of closed spaces.

Ah, so you're claustrophobic.

Yeah, I guess

you could say that.

I...

I am terrified of elevators.

- How embarrassing.

- No, no, don't be embarrassed.

I'm terrified of the dark.

So, if we were trapped

in an elevator

and suddenly the lights went

out, we would be done for.

Exactly!

Okay.

Doctor, Mr. Pumpkin-head's

brains are ready for extraction.

Just reach in and grab

handfuls of brains.

Put them in the bowl

and go like this.

Squeeze all the seeds

away from the guts, okay?

Okay.

I've never actually had toasted

pumpkin seeds before. So...

Really?

Yeah.

They are so yummy.

But first it is

important to know that

we can't do any physical labor

without a bit of this.

It's a bit early.

- Who's going to know?

So tell me

a little more about...

- Samhain?

- Samhain.

Well, it's like a...

Are you okay?

Mel?

Samhain is a, uh,

Wiccan ritual

- dating back to way before

Christianization. -Mmm-hmm.

I know what you might be

thinking when I say "Wiccan".

You're thinking witch

and witches are evil.

Oh, no, trust me,

I have a very open mind.

If you split up

the year into two

and label one half as light

and the other half as dark

Samhain is the end of

the light half of the year

and the beginning

of the dark half.

It's uh...

Also a time to honor the ones

who have passed.

Crossed over

to the other side.

Let me put those

beers away for you.

Oh, thank you.

Oh, gross.

Okay, that is nasty.

Ew, Tess, don't put

your arm in there.

I don't think

that it's even on.

Ugh.

Um, Aiden, come over here

and check this out.

That's weird.

Hey, has anyone tried

turning on the lights yet?

No, not yet.

Sh*t.

Power outage?

Yeah, either that

or a fuse blew.

We're still supposed to have power

this time of year. Just a second.

Hey, Nick, um, hey, could you

try flicking that light on for me?

Sure.

Nada.

The oven seems to

be working just fine.

That's 'cause it's gas.

Hmm... Trapped on an island on

Halloween weekend and now no lights?

What could possibly

happen next?

Well, next we prepare for

a weekend in the dark.

Hey, Tess, could you help me

get some flashlights?

And Nick, Dean, we're

going to need more firewood.

Watch your step.

And here's your room,

mademoiselle.

Just leave this here

for ya and... -Thanks.

- I'll just be around getting

some flashlights. - Okay.

Hey, Tess, you

want to see a magic trick?

Yeah.

Aiden, could you get me

a piece of paper and a pencil?

Yeah,

I'll be right back.

Okay.

- Pick a card, any card.

- Okay.

- I'll take this one.

- Okay.

Now take a look at it.

Memorize it.
