An oldie, to be sure... One of my all time favorites...

A man is walking home alone late one foggy Halloween night, when behind him
he hears: BUMP... BUMP... BUMP...

Walking faster, he looks back and through the fog he makes out the image of
an upright casket banging its way down the middle of the street toward him.

BUMP... BUMP... BUMP...

Terrified, the man begins to run toward his home, the casket bouncing quickly
behind him. FASTER... FASTER...

BUMP... BUMP... BUMP....

He runs up to his door, fumbles with his keys, opens the door, rushes in, slams
and locks the door behind him. However, the casket crashes through his door,
with the lid of the casket clapping.

clappity-BUMP...clappity-BUMP... clappity-BUMP... on his heels, as the terrified
man runs.

Rushing upstairs to the bathroom, he locks himself in. His heart is pounding;
his head is reeling; his breath is coming in sobbing gasps.

With a loud CRASH the casket breaks down the door. Bumping and clapping
toward him.

The man screams and reaches for something, anything...

All he can find is a box of cough drops! Desperate, he throws the cough drops
at the coffin ...

...and...of...course,

...the coffin stops!
