Back in the early-Winter of 1922, two teenage bullies were walking through a cemetery up, in Maine one afternoon. They both carried shovels, and one also carried a basket. They stopped at a grave. "Alright, William, we're gonna force those idiots to eat this dead man's brains!" one bully said to the other. "Yeah, John, they will be cannibals and think it's a souffle ha-ha" William responded to him, laughing, and he and John dug up the grave. They got to the coffin, William yanked it open, and was a skeleton within it. John got a meat cleaver out of his coat-pocket. William looked away, hearing the sounds of the cleaver slicing into a bone. Within a couple seconds, John handed him the covered basket. They hurried up and covered the hole. "Let's go, John, I am freezing cold now" William said to him. "Alright William" he responded and they took off through the snow together.

That evening, three teenage nerds were walking out, in the cemetery together with lit-lanterns. "Alright, fellas, John and William said they'd be here tonight!" one nerd said to the others. "Yeah, Benny, it's freezing cold, but I do not wish to get beat up by those guys" another nerd replied to him. "Me neither, Ed" Benny said to him. "There they are!" the third nerd said and he, Ed and Benny stopped in the snow. The bullies showed up both with lanterns shining among the tombstones. "Hey, George you idiot, you or one of your idiot Friends here chicken out and go runnin' home, and we'll break your arms" John said to the third nerd, threatening. "Oh, don't worry, John, we won't" George replied. "Alright then. You jerks stand on that grave unless you're scared" John said to George, Ed and Benny, pointing to the grave that he and William had defiled earlier. George, Ed and Benny did. William handed George the covered basket that John put the dead man's brains into. "Eat this souffle that tastes just like a dead man's brains or else!" John and William said to the nerds. "Alright fellas" Ed said to them and George reached his hand underneath the cloth covering the basket. Suddenly, the dirt of the grave moved and the nerds jumped away from it. The skeletal-hands of the dead man pushed up, out of his grave then. His skull came out of his grave, as the hole formed, as the zombie crawled out of it. The bullies gazed in horror at the sight, and the skeleton stood up with sickening-cracks in William's lantern-light.

"WHO STOOD ON MY GRAVE?" the living dead zombie screamed in a hoarse voice. "They did!!!" the bullies responded, shaking in horror and pointed at the nerds. The skeleton had white globs of slime oozing from his rotting-ribcage, and turned his rotting-neck bones, with a sickening-crack. As the zombie faced Benny, Benny cried out, terrified to it: "they made us stand on your grave to eat this soufflé that tastes like a dead man's brains!". The zombie turned his skull back to John and William, with that sickening-sound of cracking-bones. "That 'tis my brain young men. You stole it!" the skeleton uttered in its hoarse voice to William and John. The zombie rose a candle in the air with the sounds of bones cracking and the candle eerily was lit on its own then. The rotting skeleton stuck its boney-fingers into William's eyes, pushing its decaying-digits of bones into his eye-sockets. William screamed and the zombie pulled its boney-fingers out of them, the bully fell to the ground, dead. John, Ed, George and Benny all gasped in horror. The zombie clutched the back of John's head then and his candle directly into John's mouth. The bully screamed, writhed from side to side and the skeleton shoved it down his throat, causing him to choke then. The bully fell over dead. Within George's lantern-light, the living-dead zombie stretched out his boney-arm and hand. George handed him the covered basket with the dead man's brains within it. "Thank you young man!!" the zombie said to him in its hoarse voice and then climbed back into the hole of his grave. George, Ed and Benny took off quickly.

Ah, what a GRAVE SITUATION John and William put George, Benny and Ed into eh? But those bullies did go DIGGING FOR TROUBLE hee-hee-hee-hee. Poor Ed, George and Benny had to STAND FOR IT until that zombie SOILED THE PLANS aha-ha-ha-ha! Well, see all of you for my other BLUE FRIGHT SPECIALS in the NEXT EERIE-ISSUE!
