Opening Segment[]
"Hello, party animals. Are you ready to bop till you drop? Dead, that is. Tonight, I've chosen a fiendish little tale from my hold of moldy oldies. We've been invited to an anniversary celebration of holy deadlock. You know, to love and to perish; for richer, for horror; in sickness and in stealth; till death do us part. This is one anniversary the husband will never forget."
Closing Segment[]
"That's what I call dragging your wife to a party. I guess Richard was the guest of horror, after all. Just goes to show you what can happen when you let your imagination run away with you. Here's to your bad health. See you next time, boys and ghouls."
Trivia[]
- The title is from the common proverb, "Two's company, but three's a crowd."
