Here comes the next question.

In the television special, "It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown", who does Snoopy battle?

A. Vulture
B. Red Baron
C. Great Pumpkin
D. Woodstock

Matt: 26
Shederick: 17
George:15

Magic #: 45

(Buzz-In!)

And Matt buzzes in! What's your answer?

[mringgenberg]

Red Baron

[dad90]

Red Baron is the right answer!

(Audience Applause)

"It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" is a delightful animated television special, written by Charles M. Schulz. It first aired on October 27, 1966 and has been televised for very many years since then. Linus sits in the pumpkin patch all night waiting for the Great Pumpkin to appear. Snoopy makes his first appearance dressed up to battle the Red Baron, the famous World War I flying ace. Snoopy sits perched atop his doghouse doing battle while wearing his helmet, goggles and red scarf which was blowing in the wind.

(Matt picks up the dice)

All rolls are still good, so roll away!

(Matt rolls the dice)



And you've rolled a 12! Which number(s) are you going to take off?

[mringgenberg]

11 and 1

[dad90]

11 and 1, he says, and behind those are...

Now Matt, if you win this round, not only you'll win the prizes that you have banked so far, but you'll also win that trip to Montreal, and a trip to the Championship Round!

And players, I now must warn you...we now have got some Bad Rolls on the board, so control of the dice is becoming increasingly important. That being said, let's take a look at the next question.

In 1982, the wonderful movie "E. T. The Extra-Terrestrial" was released in theaters. Do you remember how E. T. was dressed for Halloween?

A. Ghost
B. Puppy
C. Vampire
D. Teddy Bear

Matt: 14
Shederick: 40
George:20

Magic #: 97

(Buzz-In!)

And Shederick buzzes in! What's your answer?

[djshadowwolf420]

A

[dad90]

Ghost is the correct answer!

(Audience Applause)

E. T. was covered with a sheet and disguised as a ghost in the Halloween sequence from "E. T. The Extra-Terrestrial." The purpose of this was so that Elliott could sneak E.T. to the forest on his bicycle, in order for E. T. to be able to phone home.

This wonderful film was written by Melissa Mathison. The director and co-producer was the renowned Steven Spielberg.

Now Shederick, pick up the dice.

(Shederick does so)

BAD ROLLS: 4

I can now tell you that the only Bad Roll is a 4. Would you like to roll the dice or pass them to one of your opponents?

[djshadowwolf420]

Roll

[dad90]

All right, Shederick. Go ahead and roll!

(Shederick rolls the dice)



And the roll is a 6, and there's only one way to do that, and that's to take off the 6, so let's see what's there....

Who was the author of the poem "The Witches Spell", a fun and popular Halloween poem?

A. Walt Whitman
B. Edgar Allan Poe
C. Robert Frost
D. William Shakespeare

Matt: 1
Shederick: 50
George:25

Magic #: 92

(Buzz-In!)

And Shederick buzzes in! What's your answer?

[djshadowwolf420]

C

[dad90]

(Buzzer)

That is incorrect. Anyone else?

(Buzz-In!)

And George buzzes in! What's your answer?

[bighornbattle]

D.

[dad90]

William Shakespeare is correct!

(Audience Applause)

In Act IV, Scene 1, from William Shakespeare's "Macbeth" (1606) comes the poem, "The Witches Spell".

1 WITCH) Thrice the brinded cat hath mew'd.

2 WITCH) Thrice and once, the hedge-pig whin'd.

3 WITCH) Harpier cries:-'tis time! 'tis time!

1 WITCH) Round about the caldron go;
In the poison'd entrails throw.-
Toad, that under cold stone,
Days and nights has thirty-one;
Swelter'd venom sleeping got,
Boil thou first i' the charmed pot!

ALL) Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and caldron bubble.

2 WITCH) Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the caldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg, and owlet's wing,-
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.

ALL) Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.

3 WITCH) Scale of dragon; tooth of wolf;
Witches' mummy; maw and gulf
Of the ravin'd salt-sea shark;
Root of hemlock digg'd i the dark;
Liver of blaspheming Jew;
Gall of goat, and slips of yew
Sliver'd in the moon's eclipse;
Nose of Turk, and Tartar's lips;
Finger of birth-strangled babe
Ditch-deliver'd by a drab,-
Make the gruel thick and slab:
Add thereto a tiger's chaudron,
For the ingrediants of our caldron.

ALL) Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and caldron bubble.

2 WITCH) Cool it with a baboon's blood,
Then the charm is firm and good.

George, you have control of the dice. Pick them up.

BAD ROLLS: 4 6

The Bad Rolls are now 4 and 6. You don't have any Insurance Markers, meaning that you are at risk of going out in this round if you roll one of these 2 numbers with no Doubles. That being said, are you going to take the risk and roll the dice or pass them over to one of your opponents?

[bighornbattle]

I am rolling.

[dad90]

OK, George. Go ahead.

(George rolls the dice)



And the roll is a 12. There are a couple of ways to play off the 12. How are you going to do it?

[bighornbattle]

10 and the 2.

[dad90]

The 10 and the 2, he says. And behind those 2 numbers are...

Now there are more Bad Rolls to avoid, so control of the dice is becoming more and more important. Next question.

In "Dark and Stormy Night", a 1994 episode from the television sitcom "Family Matters", Steve Urkel and the Winslow's play a story game, where they each play a part in the plot. Do you recall the name of this game?

A. Blood or Guts
B. Pass the Ghost Story
C. Hide the Mummy
D. Murder at Midnight

Matt: 41
Shederick: 66
George:30

Magic #: 8

(Buzz-In!)

And George buzzes in! What's your answer?

[bighornbattle]

B.

[dad90]

Pass The Ghost Story is the correct answer!

(Audience Applause)

This takes place in season 6, episode 6 when a storm on Halloween night forces the cancellation of trick-or-treating, so to cheer up Richie, the characters take on the roles of a 19th-century vampire family. Carl and Harriette end up playing the parts of vampires wanting to bite the neck of Sir Steven, played by Urkel!

George, pick up the dice.

GOOD ROLLS: 3 5 7 8 9 10 12 14 15 16 17

The Good Rolls are 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, and 17. Remember, you have no Insurance Markers, so you are at risk. Are you going to roll the dice, knowing that you could be knocked out of this round, or pass the dice to one of your opponents?

[bighornbattle]

Pass.

[dad90]

Who do you want to give the dice to?

[bighornbattle]

Shedrick.

[dad90]

Shederick, George has given you the dice. You do not have any Insurance Markers either, so if you cannot roll any of the Good Rolls I've mentioned, and there are no Doubles, and you are knocked out of this round. Give them a roll, and good luck.

(Shederick rolls the dice)



And it's a Double!

(Doubles!) (Audience Applause)

The good news is that you've rolled a Double, earning you an Insurance Marker, but the bad news is that you have to use that immediately since 8 is a Bad Roll, so you must roll again.

(Shederick rolls the dice)



And you've rolled a 10, which is good!

(Audience Applause)

And the only way to play off the 10 is to take out the 3 and the 7, so let's see what's behind those two numbers...

Oh, George, you've just given Shederick both halves of that check worth $10,000, and if he wins this round, he'll certainly thank you for your contribution, but it's not over just yet. All 3 of you are still in it, but I have a feeling that it will all change very soon, as there are 2 numbers left on the board, which means that there are (more or less) 2 questions left to go.

So, it's obviously clear that control of the dice becomes very important with this next question.

"Pooh's Heffalump Halloween Movie" is a delightful animated Walt Disney film that was created in 2005. Why did Roo and Lumpy set out to find and catch the Gobloon?

A. Pooh ate all of the candy
B. The Hundred Acre Woods became haunted
C. Tigger felt ill
D. Gobloon kidnapped Piglet

Matt: 53
Shederick: 71
George:35

Magic #: 96

(Buzz-In!)

And Shederick buzzes in! What's your answer?

[dad90]

24 hours left to answer.

[dad90]

(Buzzer)

And time is up. Anybody else want to take a shot at it?

(Buzz-In!)

And Matt buzzes in! What's your answer?

[mringgenberg]

D

[dad90]

(Buzzer)

That is incorrect, I'm afraid.

(Buzz-In!)

And George buzzes in! What's your answer?

[bighornbattle]

C.

[dad90]

(Buzzer)

That's wrong as well. The correct answer was actually....

A. Pooh ate all of the candy
B. The Hundred Acre Woods became haunted
C. Tigger felt ill
D. Gobloon kidnapped Piglet

You know, Roo's new friend, Lumpy, is really excited to go trick-or-treating for the first time, but Tigger tells Roo and Lumpy that there is an evil Gobloon in the forest and if he catches them, he will turn them into Jaggedy Lanterns. Tigger adds that if they catch the Gobloon first, then they get to make a wish that will be granted to them.

Believe it or not, Pooh ends up eating all of the candy so Roo and Lumpy set out to catch the Gobloon and get a wish for more candy granted to them. It doesn't quite go that way when the pair became separated.

Since no one answered that question correctly, I got another one for control of the dice.

Eddie Munster is a character on the television series "The Munsters". What interesting Halloween character does he represent?

A. Quasimodo
B. Gargoyle
C. Warlock
D. Werewolf

Matt: 47
Shederick: 18
George:40

Magic #: 93

(Buzz-In!)

And Matt buzzes in! What's your answer?

[mringgenberg]

Werewolf
