30. Radio announcer: "A homicidal maniac has escaped from the State Hospital for the Criminally Insane."

Thu Oct 30, 2025, 09:35 AM

Thursday

The lights go out. "Must be a fuse. I'll go down into the basement and check it out."

While running away, someone gets injured. The woman tears her skirt off up to upper-thigh level to wrap the injury, thereby exposing her tawny shapely legs.

The phone rings. Nothing but heavy breathing comes across the line.

Skeptical authorities refuse to believe it's really happening - until it's really happening to them!

The monster shuffles away carrying the fainted woman, her high heels visible as her legs dangle.
