I think you make the blend of horror and comedy work really well actually. Throw in some 'rudeness' as you call it and you have a great mix there.

Thankfully make of the aforementioned events didn't happen. She just turned up with a basket of apples and carried through on a threat to make a cake 😀😀 she doesn't like me much though, that's where I get all the witchery from!
