We decided to take a water tank and make it really scary for Halloween. I really wanted to make
people think they'd seen death so I was going to put a blood tab in my mouth and release it as I
started panicking, the whole nine yards. So, the curtain drops off this water tank and we start
panicking. My assistants are screaming, "Something's wrong!" and "Where's the keys?"
That's when I break the blood tablet and start blinking out. And I look like I've choked. We've
stopped the music now so it's dead silent in the theater.You could hear a pin drop. Now we get rid
of all the beatiful theater lights. "We need lights, we need lights!" So we bring up a
whitewash, and people are seeing the real theater now. They're talking and screaming and they're
thinking "This is real! This guy's dying and we're watching it!" So, we thought ok, probably time to
calm them all down. Right before the switch, a guy jumps out of the audience and comes running on to
stage with a chair. And he lifts up the chair and swings it just as I come barreling out of the tank
and there's this chair staring at me. This guy was so embarrased, he left the theater. And I felt
bad because this guy had tried to "save" my life! I tried to chase him down, but couldn't find him so
I had to do all this searching to find him and try to apologize to him. Management was not happy!!

I was doing a Lion's Bride, but it was a Things That Go Bump Lion's Bride and I was a double. So
I was in costume with two girls in a very tight quartered, dark, sapce and Merlin, who is the lion
(an actual lion) was a bad boy that night. He decideds to spray the entire front row. He turns
his butt to the audience and the whole front row got it. Then, I don't know if they have an endless
bladder or what, because then he decides to squat and just...rivers! And we're in there and all of
the sudden we hear the dripping and then there's the smell and it just got worse! It was so
terrible. It's like salt water and it'll eat through anything and you can't get if off your
clothes! So, I come out and I forgot that I'm wearing make-up. It's like we dove into a pool!
And the guy lets the first girl out, and then the second girl and then of course I come out to do
the double. And I don't realize that my makeup is running off of my face so I look nothing like
him. Everything is soaked and the one cloth was so wet that it was shear - you could see right
through it and we had no idea. So it was all just a disater. Come to find out that this was the
night, of all nights, that President of the United States was in theater, right on the front
row, right where Merlin did his best work.

I was working for Mark Kornhauser, and there's this trick that he did for a while where he's like
"Who likes Mexican food? Who likes sushi? You know what I think you like? Mexican sushi!" And he
pushed out this little table with a hampster in a cage with tortilla sauce on top. And every night
he'd take it and do a switch with cotton candy and he'd eat it. He had the blood tablet and a guy in
the booth had a corn nut and they really played it up. He'd take a bite and be like, "That's pretty
good." One night I put garlic salt on his cotton candy. So we were back stage and we hear the same
line, "That's pretty good." Then there's this long pause and he says "This is awful!!" He burped garlic for a week!!
