People are dying to get in there

October was a lot of skeletons and zombies and ghosts and it made me realize that Halloween omits an important step before the afterlife. The transition. All of these spirits were once living but now they’re dead. Fine, technically a zombie is undead. Which is a confusing. The prefix “un” means the absence of something. So if you’re unlikable, no one likes you. So I don’t understand how “undead” means dead but not dead. Anyway, I’m not sure whether you would want to have a service for the undead. I don’t know the etiquette on that one. But the ghosts and skeletons and were once living. And now they’re dead. So my question is: what did they think of their send off? Good turnout? Was there the right amount of weeping and wailing? I mean, you want some waterworks. But wallto- wall waterworks requires an arc and those things are really hard to park.
