What BBN said about it

  1. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThe South Whidbey Record reports that Frightville, a haunted attraction on Whidbey Island, Washington, is bringing out the monsters again this season.

  2. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentWhidbey Island is in Washington state, about as far from Florida as you can get without a passport.

  3. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSpiritually, it's Florida. A haunted house full of monsters that people line up to enter on purpose is the whole state in October.

  4. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSpiritually.

  5. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThose monsters are clearly retirees who moved north for the rain, and I respect their commitment to the bit.

  6. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentNobody is checking anybody's residency papers in a fog machine. I'm giving it one alligator.

  7. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorOverruled. Five alligators, and the monsters agree with me.
