Mummy Won in Storage Unit Auction

Here's the third in my series of Criag's List Movie Monster inspired posts:

Here's what it says:

Needed: A Mummy Specialist

I won a mummy in a storage unit auction. This thing is sick! It came in a giant stone tomb covered in writing. I google translated some of it. It looks like a warning that anybody who messes with the mummy is screwed. But who cares, right? I got this thing open and the mummy was clutching some dirty old piece of paper. I think it's ancient Sanskrit, but who knows? Anyway, I'm looking for an expert to help me translate this invocation, or spell, or curse so I can read it out loud. Who's in? I have 11 dollars and a six pack of Coors light as payment. Contact me if interested and/or qualified. Yolo!

Dracula Missed Connection

Here's my second Halloween Craig's list prank post:

And here's what it says:

We encountered on the F train on October the 24th at 9 pm - m4w (Lower East Side)


You: freckles, auburn hair, blue eyes, owl t-shirt. Me: deathly white, black eyes, widow's peak. You were sitting across from me, reading a free newspaper (AM NY? Metro?!!!!) You looked at me. We shared a moment, I think.You got up and started to walk across the train car to me. Maybe to admire my cape?! It was thrilling. I could hear the flutter of your heart as you approached. Unfortunately, an older woman unbuttoned her overcoat, and a silver crucifix was revealed. This distracted me, and forced me to explode backwards through the subway window as I was forcibly ejected from the car by an unseen force. 
 
Where did you go?!!! I've looked everywhere for you. Message me!!!!! 

Werewolf Looking for a Roommate

Ok , so for my Halloween prank this year I decided to post on Craig's list....as classic movie monsters. Here's the first one I did:

And here's what's in the post:


Needed: A housekeeper of sorts

I am looking for a roommate for my single family brownstone in Williamsburg. I am not asking for rent, but I will require one small service from you. For one night a month, when the moon is full, I will need you to sit outside of my basement cell. I will be in this homemade jail. You will watch over me all night, armed only with your wits. I can assure you that the bars of my cell are quite secure. Your presence is a mere formality.

Please do not apply if you have trouble staying awake at night, are afraid of werewolves, or if you are a smoker. Serious inquiries only.
