What did the Mummy say as he left the office on Friday afternoon? It’s a wrap!
We couldn’t resist a little candy corn-iness on Halloween. In fact, inspired by that hard-working Mummy, my talented team decided to engage in a little rapping of their own. The video stars, in order of appearance: Pam as the Electrifying D.J., Shelly as Dracula, Mary as Frankenstein, Kendra as the Witch, and Tammy as the Mummy. Enjoy their incredibly entertaining Halloween card and these Halloween trivia treats below. And, have a ghoulishly delightful Halloween weekend:
