It’s the week before Halloween–let’s talk about villains. No. Let’s talk about villainesses-es-es.
Oh, to be the voice for any one of these malevolent, malignant characters–that would be some kind ofscreamy dreamy.

Now sing.”
#2–“Ah, how shall I do it? Oh, I know. I’ll turn him into a flea, a harmless, little flea, and then I’ll put that flea in a box, and then I’ll put that box inside of another box, and then I’ll mail that box to myself, and when it arrives [laughs] I’ll smash it with a hammer! It’s brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, I tell you! Genius, I say!

#3–“Alright, keep the little beasts for all I care! Do what you want with them! Drown them! But I warn you…we’re through! I’m through with all of you! I’ll get even! Just wait! You’ll be sorry, you fools! You…YOU IDIOTS!”
