Monday 10/25 Live Blog

And down the stretch we come towards Halloween 2010. As our way of helping out the lazier listeners/blog readers among us, all this week we'll be presenting last-minute costume ideas sure to amaze and delight. Have a lot of old paper grocery bags stuffed under the kitchen sink? Why not cut them up, grab some tape, and dress yourself as a giant cigar? It's easy and sends a great message to the kids. (giant Fidel Castro not included)

London-based rock journalist Phil Sutcliffe was our first guest of the morning, talking up his latest book, AC/DC - High Voltage Rock 'n Roll: The Ultimate Illustrated History. The rock gods are chronicled in 224 pages of photos, stories, memorabillia, and more. Makes a great gift (if you haven't noticed today is exactly two months until the Big X).

Spike helped us celebrate last night's big win with our Packer Postgame Report presented by Duffy's Sports Pub. The Pack head to the Meadowlands for their next game, this Sunday against the New York Jets. Coverage starts at 10am on K107.1.

So how can you tell if your house is haunted? Terri Fleming from the Fond du Lac Public Library told us about their handy new step-by-step guide, How to Tell if Your House is Haunted. Copies are available at the reference desk and online at FDLPL.org.

Staying with the spooky spirit, film expert Don Sumner stopped by with a few copies of his new book, Horror Movie Freak. A comprehensive guide to all things creepy from the silver screen to your TV. The book includes a DVD copy of the classic Night of the Living Dead, and is now available in stores.

Our final guest was Marianne Schwab. Marianne helped us recognize travel scams and the truth behind seemingly unbelievable fares. Rule #1: if it sounds too good to be true, it is. Click over to Marianne's website for more tips and deals.
