We’ve mentioned our love of CODCO many times. Here’s a picture of 16 year old me with Greg Malone at a high school drama festival. I was so stoked to meet him!

Necropants are a pair of pants made from the skin of a dead human, which are believed in Icelandic witchcraft to be capable of producing an endless supply of money.
To begin with the sorcerer has to make a pact with a living man and get his permission to dig up his dead body and skin it from the waist down. The skin must be completely intact with no holes or scratches.
The sorcerer then steps into the skin which will immediately become one with his own. A coin must be stolen from a poor widow, either at Christmas, Easter, or Whitsunday, and kept in the scrotum.
It will then draw money from living persons and the scrotum will never be empty when the sorcerer checks. However, his spiritual well being is at risk unless he gets rid of the necropants before he dies.
If he dies with the pants on his body will become infested with lice as soon as he passes away. The sorcerer must therefore find somebody that is willing to take the pants and put his leg into the right leg before the sorcerer steps out of the left one. The pants will keep on drawing money for generations of owners.

The original folklore version of Jack-o-Lanterns, named for Jack O’Lantern of the Irish myth, were actually quite terrifying. They were carved from turnips or beets rather than festive orange pumpkins and were intended to ward off unwanted visitors.
