Monsters invade Willows!

A bug-eyed skeleton rises from the grave.

Who knew that the California Concepts sits on top of a graveyard?

It must, because several skeletons have risen ­ or are in the process of rising ­ from the ground in the front yard of the hair salon located at 537 West Wood Street in Willows, at the northeast corner Wood Street and North Murdock Avenue.

“Man, I am as dry as a bone!” one skeleton seemed to be saying to the other. “You haven’t looked at yourself in a mirror lately, have you?” came the response.

Besides skeletons galore, the establishment has a dragon, witches, humongous spiders, pumpkin-headed creatures, and a giant werewolf.

Witches appear to beckon visitors.

Beetlejuice can also be seen lurking in the shadows of the front porch.

It was probably just my imagination running away with me, but I thought I heard some witches mixing up an evil potion of some kind: At any rate, the following incantation began running through my head:

Double, double toil and trouble

Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.

Fillet of a fenny snake

In the cauldron boil and bake.

Eye of newt and toe of frog,

Wool of bat and tongue of dog,

Adder’s fork and blind-worm’s sting,

Lizard’s leg and owlet’s wing,

For a charm of powerful trouble,

Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.

Double, double toil and trouble

Fire burn, and cauldron bubble….

Does anyone remember the old movie, The Incredible Two-Headed Transplant?
