BOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry to scare you prematurely. Are you afraid of the dark? (You think you got problems, I'm afraid of the light!) Do you like to scream? Do you scare easily? Well, you'll love this issue. And, when it's over, if you survive, you'll realize why this issue is called the SPOOKIEST ISSUE EVER!!!!! {Lightning cracks} Hello. Here I am, standing in front of this haunted house. I am your host, your Ghost Host. And, you are my guests that will accompany me through this house where the Power Rangers were killed in their final battle. We will go through together and we will learn things about the people who were here before us. Before we begin our tour through the haunted house, I would like to give you a little preview of what we will see today. Along the way you'll learn new things, things you never knew about before. We'll pass by Melvin Quarterman's swimming poll and meet one of his deceased friend's. In case you didn't know, Melvin is a ghost (Susie Q's brother, actually). Now, don't chicken out ... there's more. We'll also pass some monsters known as the ZyuRanger gang and we'll also receive a surprise visit from the White Ranger, if we're in the right place at the right time. Well, there are more surprises on the way, so just follow me... Hey, now don't chicken out. Come and join us! Yes, you. Good! It looks like we have some new people coming on our tour. Welcome to ghostly atlemar@io.com, horrifying mo5757ch@uscolo.edu, deadly kevink69@ix.netcom.com, frightening darwin@genie.com, spooky kosaroeu@sch.ge.com, eerie fruity@indirect.com, mysterious Keraket, kooky Famingo, ooky sfabel@redrose.net, supernatural al076@torfree.net, unearthly Sabba20, haunted N Latimer, ominous jetthed@ix.netcom.com, grotesque dolph1224 and bloodthirsty derekg@ns.net. I'm sure you'll get to know them . . . Before we begin, are there any questions? Ellen Chan: Ooh, me, me, me . . . Ghost Host: Yes? Ellen Chan: Okay, uhm, wait -- oh yeah, when is Susie Q coming out? Ghost Host: It's supposed to come out in December. Hannah: Hey! Yo! Ghost Host: What? Hannah: When is the Power Ranger movie coming out on video? Ghost Host: November 21st. Hannah: Okay. That's all I wanted to know. Andrew Krotje: Was Amy Jo Johnson on "I'm Telling!" as a kid! Ghost Host: Ha ha ha . . . no. The girl was named Amy Levy and she was just a young lookalike. Just a nasty rumor. Would AJ really be in the same room with a guy with an afro, nerd glasses, and a vest? Net Tex: Hey, Mr. Ghost Host! Is "I'm Dreaming of a White Ranger" Kim's last episode? Ghost Host: No, no, no, no, no! What's more to say? It's not. Debbie Herndon: Oh, oh, I got another one! Ghost Host: Shoot! Debbie Herndon: No thanks. Anyway, uhm, I heard Goosebumps is preepting MMPR every Friday. Is that right? Please tell me that isn't! It's just a rumor! It's not true! Right? Right? Ghost Host: Sorry, but yes, it will preempt MMPR from airing on Friday's. It'll just preempt repeats, however. Debbie Herndon: No fair! Why me? What's the use of living? Kill me now!!! Ghost Host: Anything else . . . ? Okay, let's continue. Here we are in the hall. Look around. You may notice the cobwebby table, the dusty papers, the bloody corpse ... Justin Harvey: Oh my Gosh! Everyone: What??? Justin Harvey: Look at that paper! "Nobody's Purfict" by Ma . . . Ghost Host: Listen, that is available as a souvineer. Just ask Marx Okman for it and he'll be happy to send it. He can also send you "Fax on Max" and the Masked Rider episode guide. Justin Harvey: Who's Marx Okman? Ghost Host: Moving along . . . Rick Busby: Yo, Phantom dude, what's this? Rick picks up a dusty piece of paper and waves it around like an idiot. Ghost Host: That is a piece of paper. Rick Busby: Yeah, but there's stuff written on it. (reading) The answer to last week's quote 1, "This is not the way I wanted to spend my birthday" was said by Zack on "Happy Birthday, Zack". It was when he was fighting Knasty Knight, yes it's spelled Knasty with a K for those of you who didn't know. The group writes down the answer frantically. A couple of people finish early. Ellen Chan: (handing him the paper with the answer) Here you go! It's the answer to last week's quote. Do I still get points? Herndon sisters: Me, too! Ghost Host: Woah! What happened to you guys? Herndon sisters: We're siamese triplets! Ghost Host: Sad! Amanda Bolton: Here's mine, Mr. Host. Matt H. [friend of Amanda]: I helped her! She can't do a thing without me! Andrew Krotje: Here's mine! Kiba Ranger: I've got it! Zack from "Happy Birthday, Zack"! Ghost Host: What kind of a name is Kiba? Joe Rovang: Here you go! LeiLani Craig: Me! Me! Everyone: I also know the "What comes around goes around."! It was Kim in "Itsy Bitsy Spider". Ghost Host: Duh! That episode, surprisingly, came on Wednesday and ruined everything. Everyone: Boo hoo. We feel for you. Poor guy, etc. Ghost Host: Put a sock in it! RyuSeiOh: Yo, Ghost Host! There's more. Jojo stix: Oh, it's the trivia! There's two of them! ErBear53: Read it, you dolt! AlTank: Last week's first trivia question was What was Zack's present from Rita? RyuRanger: The second one is Who's birthday was on the same day as Zack's? Herndon sisters: Oh, Zack's present from Rita was the Knasty Knight and it was supposedly Kim's poodle's birthday too. Ghost Host: Very good. Herndon sisters: Well, three heads *are* better than one. Mike Jones: Okay, the Knasty Knight was Zack's present from Rita. Amanda Bolton: Yeah! Kiba Ranger: Yeah, and don't forget the poodle. Joe Rovang: Yep, the Knasty Knight was the present. What poodle? LeiLani Craig: The poodle! And, the Knasty Knight. Ghost Host: Out of all the people in the world, I get stuck with ... P.Andrews: Yo, dude. Is there going to be a new quote? Ghost Host: As a matter of fact, yes. Ltm4361: Well, what's the first one? Ghost Host: Don't be so pushy! cam_taz: Tell us! Tell us! Pllleeeeassseee . . . Ghost Host: The first quote is "Don't be afraid . . . " James Riggs: And, the second? Ghost Host: The second quote is "I'm scared . . . [but] " lkeich: Oh, I know that one! It's . . . A L Varney: Now, don't go ruining it for us! AprilMac12: Yeah, can it! Ghost Host: The trivia question is "There have been three times when the Rangers have dressed up in a costume. Name every single costume. Hint: There are 14, including one that wasn't seen until the end of the episode." Darlene879: Oh, I know that one but I'm not going to say. Kay? Ghost Host: Kay. Now, follow me, foolish mortals! Zed 44: Is it just me, or does he keep quoting from Haunted Mansion? Ghost Host: Before we go, what's the scoreboard at? Heather MacKenzie: One lousy point. Ellen Chan: I only have eight. Heather MacKenzie: (annoyed) Ha ha! The Mikoluff sisters: We have seven! Freakling: Two! Herndon sisters: Eight! April Richards: Eight! Joe Rovang: Three! KibaRanger: 23 smackers! LeiLani Craig: 22 smackers! Robert McKeone: 4 smackers! Patrick Fritz: 2 points! PinkRan943: 1 point, thank you very much! Amanda Bolton [with Matt]: 23 big ones! sgraeff: 1 little one! trek: Ditto! Andrew Krotje: 4 points! t.shell: 1 point! Justin Harvey: 3 points Mike Jones: 70 points! Off Ghost Host's look. Mike Jones: Okay, 7! Ghost Host: Our next stop is the games and polls section. AMQG51B: What's that? Ghost Host: Well, lately we've been doing the Treasure Hunt game. I've given you three letters already. The first two go respectively in the first word (Like if it were S and T, it would go ST___). The next one is the second letter is the second word (If it were E, it would go _e___.) Got it? CRONOS95: Not really. Ghost Host: Okay. Since we need to get on with the tour, I will just give you the 7th letter in the first word. It's G. EBelcher: Ooh, thanks! Ghost Host: Now, we're on the stairs. Wonderfan: No, we're not! Ghost Host: Yes . . . we . . . are! Anyway, there are so many things you don't know! JXYVO6A: Like, what? Ghost Host: Did you know that "The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Karate Club: The White Ranger Kata," will arrive in stores on January 30, 1996? Rick Bradshaw: No, I didn't. Ghost Host: Did you know Shampoo has a new album called "We Are Shampoo" and it includes Trouble on it? bogart: Oh, what a shock! Ghost Host: Did you know that Shekinah Williams played little Aisha on "Rangers Back In Time Part I and II?" Everyone: (gasp) Ghost Host: Did you know that Amy Jo Johnson lives next door to Sarah Brown from "VR Troopers"? Randi Twin: Yes, and they have wild parties every night! I had to call the cops! Ghost Host: Oookaaay. Let's proceed to the Swimming Poll. CVAdam: We're not actually going in, are we? Ghost Host: Of course not. How would I work it in? Furthermore, it isn't spooky enough. Chris Cooper: This whole issue isn't spooky enough! Ghost Host: Well, I guess we should go back to the house. We have a guest waiting in the cemetery. Dave Bryan: Ooh, I'm shaking in my undies! Ghost Host: (ignoring him) Since the cemetery is awhile away, want to hear a spooky joke? SkJhOl: I guess. But, it *better* be spooky! Ghost Host: Spooky is an understatement. Ha ha ha . . . How long has Amy Jo been a gymnast? AlexB49: How long? Ghost Host: Ever since she was a little ghoul. darrenr: That's it? What a ripoff! Ghost Host: How about "One day, on a long spooky night, Jason woke up in the middle of the night. The dog that he had found on "To Flea Or Not To Flee" was missing! He looked around for him but couldn't find him for two days. On the third night, he heard a moaning sound from the attic. Thinking it was the dog, he tiptoed up the attic stairs to hear the inexplicable moaning again. He wasn't sure if it was really the dog, so he tried to be quieter as he creeped up the stairs. He noticed that whenever the boards creaked, the moaning would get louder so he took off his shoes. When he got to the top step, the moaning was rapid yelping. Very slowly, he opened the door and when he opened it enough for him to peer in, he stepped inside. Then: AAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Eyedol2All: Why'd he scream? Ghost Host: You'd scream too if you were barefoot and stepped on a nail. {Various groans} Ghost Host: Continuing on, I would like to know if any of you would like to enter a contest. Cheungdm: What kind of a contest? Ghost Host: It's really cool. I want you guys to try and design a brochure for Angel Grove. You can do it in any way. Just be creative. gdd: Is that supposed to be spooky? Ghost Host: (ignoring him) Well, now we're at the cemetery. There's our special guest, Gypsy Abaloné. He sits down. Ghost Host: Gypsy Abaloné, can you give us some info.? Gypsy Abaloné: What ... do ... you ... want ... to ... know? Timon: Can you contact any of the Rangers? Ryuuseio: Can you tell us where we can meet them? Gypsy Abaloné: Yes ... I ... can. I ... know ... where ... Libby ... Letlow (Patsy on "Masked Rider") ... was .... last ... weekend ... She ... was ... in ... Bakersfield ... at ... the ... downtown ... mall ... Randipr: Hey, isn't that where you live, Ghost Host? Did you go? Ghost Host: Look, I wanted to, but I didn't know when and I was kinda shy and didn't know what I would say to her and I was kind of like, oh my gosh, what will I say and what happens if there's something in my teeth and she ... ? Stomac1185: Yo, Gypsy, anyone else? Gypsy Abaloné: Yes ... I ... see ... Jason ... David ... Frank! Everyone: JASON DAVID FRANK?????????

Ghost Host: Scared yet? Everyone: No, we stepped on nails! TWEETSLY: Now, what are we supposed to do? Dan Krotje: Why don't we introduce each other? Everyone: Nah. No thanks. I'm not in the mood. etc. Dan Krotje: Well, my screen name is trouter@ix.netcom.com but my real name is Dan Krotje. My birthdate is December 4, 1977. I currently live in Fair Lawn, New Jersey and my fave MMPR episodes are "Power Ranger Punks" and "Bloom of Doom" and my fave MMPR quote is "It's morphin time", said sarcastically by Kim on "Bloom of Doom." Everyone: Nice. Wowie! Someone keep me from jumping up and down! etc. Dan Krotje: You guys are mean!!! Ghost Host: Anyone else want to introduce themselves while they still can? Squatt: Me! Me! Ghost Host: Calm down! You have no one to yell over! Now, tell us about yourself! Squatt: Part warthog, part blueberry, this small-brained, annoying, excitable one provides for espionage services as well as spy-detail as well. Squatt's more detrimental work has resulted in the switching of Billy and Kimberly's brains by his tampering with Billy's new mind-reading invention [Switching Places]. Michael J. Sorich is the voice of Squat, who also plays "Woody" on "V.R. Troopers" as Kaitlin's boss (editor in chief). In ZYURANGER, Squatt's name was Bukkubakku. I got all this info. from Darienn's FAQ guide. Ghost Host: Why do you talk about yourself in the third person? Squatt: I guess *you* never watch Seinfeld! Ghost Host: Does anybody else have something to say? STHJ: Me! Me! I have some info. on Bryan Spicer, who directed the Power Rangers movie. Ghost Host: Well, spit it out! STHJ: I'm not chewing any, I swear! Anyway, he has directed some SeaQuest episodes and here's what Jonathan Brandis had to say about him. I got this quote from Science-Fiction Explorer's October 1995 issue: "Bryan Spicer directed a number of the first year's best episodes, and he directed the second season premiere episode as well. He has since gone on to direct the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers movie. He's a visual genius, he really is." Ghost Host: He has since gone on to direct the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers movie? Is this Jonathan kid a MMPR fan too? Ron Wasserman: Excuse me. Everyone: (gasp) Mighty Raw! Ron Wasserman: How'd you know it was me? The lights are out! Everyone: Oh yeah.
