In a cozy neighborhood where Halloween decorations bring out everyone’s festive spirit, Emma decided to go all out. She turned her yard into a spooky graveyard scene, complete with skeletons, tombstones, and eerie lighting that cast shadows across her lawn. Emma loved Halloween and wanted her decorations to bring a thrill to the neighborhood kids and adults alike.
One evening, however, Emma received an unexpected request. Her neighbor, a father of two young children, approached her with a polite request to tone down the display. While he appreciated her enthusiasm, he explained that his children found the graveyard a bit too frightening.
At first, Emma felt a pang of disappointment—she had put so much work into creating a perfect Halloween display. But after considering her neighbor’s concerns, she decided to make a change. Emma carefully removed the skeletons and toned down the lighting, replacing some of the scarier elements with friendly pumpkins and twinkling lights.
Later, she shared the story on TikTok, explaining why she chose to adjust her display. Emma’s story quickly went viral, with viewers applauding her kindness and the way she respected her neighbor’s wishes without sacrificing Halloween fun. Her thoughtful gesture resonated with thousands, sparking a wider conversation on how small acts of understanding can strengthen community bonds.
In the end, Emma’s Halloween decorations became a hit—not just for their spooky charm but for the warm-hearted gesture that made her a neighborhood favorite.
The Corpse of Drew Barrymore’s Grandfather Was Stolen for One Last Celebration
John Barrymore came from a long line of theater actors. He himself first appeared on stage alongside his father in 1900, and in 1903 officially began his career, starring in the likes of Justice (1916) and Richard III (1920). His greatest role was his 1992 appearance in Hamlet, for which he was dubbed “the greatest living American tragedian.”
Barrymore also starred in a slew of silent films, most notably Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1920), Sherlock Holmes (1922) and Beau Brummel (1924). He later made the transition to sound movies, starring in the likes of Grand Hotel (1932) and Midnight (1939).
On May 29, 1942, Barrymore died at the age of 60 from pneumonia and cirrhosis. What happened next has been the subject of many rumors. It’s alleged his friends, Errol Flynn, W.C. Fields and Sadakichi Hartmann snuck into the morgue where his body was being held, propped him up against a poker table and allowed him to experience one final celebration.
As it turns out, these rumors are true! In an August 2020 episode of the popular YouTube series Hot Ones, the acting legend’s granddaughter, Drew Barrymore, revealed his corpse had actually been stolen.
“Not only yes, but there have been cinematic interpretations of it,” she exclaimed. Those interpretations include S.O.B., starring Julie Andrews, and allegedly the 1989 comedy Weekend at Bernie’s, in which two friends pretend their deceased boss is alive.
Barrymore added that she wants the same to happen to her. “I will say this, I hope my friends do the same for me. That is the kind of spirit I can get behind. Just prop the old bag up, let’s have a few rounds.
“I think death comes with so much morose sadness and I understand that, but if it’s okay, just for me, if everybody could be really happy and celebratory and have a party, that would be my preference.”
Vintage Hollywood certainly was a different era…
