This year’s annual scary competition is still a 3 horsemen of the apocalypse race in it’s closing stages.
Bookies are giving the Presidential election campaigns slightly higher odds as the fear of a nuclear winter of discontent looms large, perhaps whatever the outcome.

“Walking dead costumes and corpse make up are just flying off the shelves this year. The kids love a bit of harmless tasteful fun. ”
However, not to be outdone, ISIS are hitting back with the use of human shields and talk of the mother of all battles. In an online promo vid they declare:
