And Debbie Reynolds is a sweet grandmother witch. Typecasting for both of them?

There is that myth about the guy who wanted to live forever, had his wish granted, but he eventually shriveled away into a lizard - so there's a precedent, you know.

Golem. Sounds about the same. A manlike magickal construct imbued with life, more or less.

The Chicken Dance? Or the Loco-motion? (I thought that, in Halloween town, professional courtesy would require he leave the Boogey-ing to the Monster of the same name) (But he has the nose for it)

More to it than that. is from the Kobala (sp?) Must be formed from
dirt and have magikal symbols drawn on golem to bring to live. Acts
mainly as a protector to the one who made Golem and brought it to life.
Symbols must be rubbed out to ' kill' golem and dirt must be scattered
to the wind.
