1. Carmen Electra -- Scary Movie
   Carmen Electra is pissed and a little disappointed that she wasn't asked to star in the upcoming Baywatch movie. Electra was a lifeguard on the show in 1997 and 1998, and even appeared in Baywatch: Hawaiian Wedding in 2003.
2. Scary Movie -- Cindy Campbell
   The third installment in the Scary Movie spoof franchise pokes fun at sci-fi thrillers and sees TV news reporter Cindy Campbell (Anna Faris) investigating mysterious crop circles on the farm of Tom Logan (Charlie Sheen). Other Cindy subplots that will ring a bell involve a mysterious videotape that kills one of her friends and an encounter with a prophet named Orpheus (Eddie Griffin), who tells Cindy she's "the one" and must help the president (Leslie Nielsen) prevent an alien invasion.
3. Scary Movie 2
   Scary Movie 2, the opening is a scene of older white people singing lyrics that contain words that would normally be offensive (words much worse than those of Imus). Just one example of the joke that has been featured on countless other programs.
4. Zucker Brothers -- Scary Movie
   Two decades after the Zucker brothers delivered the definitive word on in-flight comedy with the sidesplitting AIRPLANE movies, the question of how to regenerate the genre has finally been answered. Combine the relentless joke-fest of the Zucker movies, add a cast which appears to have fallen out of a 1970s blaxploitation movie, and serve with a touch of Wayans-brothers-inspired hilarity: today's in-flight meal is a dish called SOUL PLANE! The story begins when Nashawn Wade (Kevin Hart) successfully sues an airline and sets up the first black-owned flight service with the money. Entitled NWA Airlines, planes come resplendent with an on-board casino, a club, scantily clad flight attendants, and enough props to sustain laughs throughout the entire film. Captain Mack (Snoop Dogg) is the pilot, a laidback character with a dubious background; he is both afraid of heights and uncertain where the cockpit is located. A white, middle class family are ... along for the ride, lead by the nerdy Elvis Hunkee (Tom Arnold).
5. Joss Whedon -- Toy Story
   Over the next several years, Whedon worked on TV's Parenthood and became a "script doctor," fixing other writers' screenplays, usually with an infusion of humor. He had a credited hand in Toy Story, Titan AE, and Disney's Atlantis: The Lost Empire, and did uncredited (but well-paid) work on Speed, The X-Men, Twister, and Waterworld. He wrote Alien: Resurrection starring Sigourney Weaver and Winona Ryder, the fourth Alien movie. It was a vast improvement from the cheap, cheesy Alien 3, and almost as scary as Alien or Aliens.
6. Amityville Horror -- Stories
   The "Amityville Horror" grew from news reports and newspaper articles to books, magazines and television. The story would become internationally known and around the world, people recognized the name of Amityville. Most amazing was the fact that this terrifying story was absolutely true --- or so it read in bold print on the cover of the phenomenally selling book. But not everyone was convinced, even in paranormal circles. In fact, a few of them smelled something bad in Amityville!
7. Ghost Stories -- Building
   Oscar Wilde's "Canterville Ghost" is an even closer cousin. Like his Greek predecessor, this phantom is an old man with unkempt hair, dirty clothes and chains upon his arms and legs. He, too, comes in the dead of night, announced first by a clanking sound that grows increasingly loud. He appears to a calm, rational person, who discovers a chained skeleton in a secret chamber shown to her by the ghost. When the remains are buried, the ghost haunts Canterville Chase no more.
8. Halloween Customs -- Apples
   Halloween customs and traditions are explained in the next chapter. This includes explanations of where trick-or-treat came from, jack-o-lanterns, and dressing up in costumes. Tales are included for Halloween storytelling, and short poems and quotes are ... reported to add to the fun. The next chapter discusses Halloween symbols and superstitions, such as black cats, scarecrows, skeletons and vampires. All the scary motifs of Halloween are illustrated and the reader leans about the origins and history of each symbol. Various methods of fortune-telling, one fun Halloween activity, are shown in the chapter on Halloween divinations, and include procedures that use apples and pumpkin seeds.
9. Reglan -- Medications
   Metoclopramide (Reglan™, Maxeran™) is an older medication that is known to increase milk production, but it has frequent side effects which have made its use for many nursing mothers unacceptable (fatigue, irritability, depression). A alternative is domperidone (Motilium™), which has many fewer side effects because it does not enter the brain tissue in significant amounts (does not pass the blood-brain barrier).
10. Halloween Party Games -- Ages
    Halloween Party games like carving the Jack–o-lantern has cultural basis. The Jack-o-lantern custom comes from Irish folklore. It is said a man named Jack, who was notorious as a drunkard and trickster, tricked the devil into climbing a tree. Jack then carved an image of a cross in the tree's trunk, trapping the devil up the tree. Jack made a deal with the devil that, if he would never tempt him again, he would promise to let him down the tree. after Jack died, he was denied entrance to Heaven because of his evil ways and ... denied access to Hell because he had tricked the devil.
