Halloween Ghost © 1980 Fabris, Robert.
Halloween Ghost is a self-running program that is topical. The author sets up a TV at a window near his front door, and the program, a talking skull, makes snide remarks about the people going by. It re-cycles, and uses random statements on the screen, shifting colors as well.
When the program is run it says: HORRIBLE HARRY THE INSULTING TV GHOST MYSTERIOUSLY APPEARS HERE EVERY HALLOWEEN. The nine insults that 'Harry' will throw at those passing by are:
1. WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?
2. YOU LOOK TERRIBLE!!!
3. THAT CAN'T BE -YOUR FACE
4. YIPES!!-YOU SURE ARE UGLY
5. YOUR WORMS ARE SHOWING
6. WHO DUG YOU UP?
7. HOW COME YOU HAVE 3 EYES?
8. YOU LOOK LIKE THE -DEVIL-
9. I'D HATE TO BE YOUR MUMMY
