Ernie at His Most Terrifying

For the record, I did not pick out this costume for him to wear. Nor did I pick out this book for him to read (Archaeology of the Mind by Jacques Derrida)--it's all his own.

Of course he doesn't actually read from Derrida, he instead recites a poem he called "Three Skulls and a Mask." What immediately precedes this recitation which I didn't catch in time was the beginning of the poem: "'ROOOAAAAAAAR!' said the skull . . ."

At the end, in response to my question, he chatters his teeth like a skull might do.
