    One of the handful of people I follow on Twitter is McIntosh columnist and humorist Andy Ihnatko. He posted a brilliant idea earlier:

    Genius idea that comes at the wrong time, item #731 in a series: The "You're a Whole Different Person When You're Scared" Halloween Haunted Hayride. All of the scares are based on Warren Zevon songs:

    Featuring:

    - Roland, the headless Thompson gunner
    - Excitable Boy (selected crime scenes)
    - Werewolves of London
    - "I was in the house when the house burned down"
    - "Life'll Kill Ya"
    - Let's get Buddy's fatal goal from the ending of "Hit Somebody! (The Hockey Song)" in there

    "And what's that? Uh, oh...here come the Love Zombies! We'd better get a-movin'! Around these parts, they say that they conquer all! You can't start 'em like a car and you can't stop 'em with a gun!"

    - Gorilla Desperado
    - Bad Luck Streak In Dancing School (series of tableau; a series of macabre and bloody injuries during a "Swan Lake" rehearsal)

    I'm wondering if we use "My Ride's Here" as the theme of the hayride's passenger pickup point, or if we save it for the very end, where people disembark. Like, we rent a super-fancy Victorian hearse and it'll encourage people to get off for Instagram photos.
    My only contribution so far is from the song For My Next Trick I'll Need A Volunteer:

    I can saw a woman in two
    But you won't want to look in the box when I'm through.​

    Have a nice creepy tableau set to Something Bad Happened to a Clown from Mutineer.

    There's gotta be some twisted way to use "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead".

    Nobody's mentioned "Things To Do in Denver When You're Dead"?
