In celebration of\/preparation for Halloween, last night I went to beautiful Fremont, MI, to speak to the locals about the dangers of vampires.

1. Nearly all vampires will respond to some variation of “Hey, Dracula.”<\/p>\n
2. Peanut butter, in lieu of wooden stakes, will work just fine to kill vampires, as most vampires have severe nut allergies.<\/p>\n
