208     October 31, 1956
Bill, Jayne, Henry, Faye

The set is decorated spookily for this special Halloween edition. [Pat Morella], seated in the audience, has carved pumpkins in the vague likenesses of the panelists.  The orange crates are back to replace the desks, and special sound effects are used instead of the buzzer.   

[John Francis] from Merchantville, NJ: “I cut Steve Allen’s throat (While shaving him)” 
Mr. Francis runs a barbershop in Philadelphia.  While performing there in a play called The Pink Elephant a few years back, Steve dashed in to get a quick shave, and a fairly modest calamity ensued.  Steve brought The Pink Elephant to Broadway in 1953.  It closed after five performances.   

Special Guest Bud Collyer tests new Beat the Clock stunts with the panel. 
After quickly dispensing with the Secret part of the game (interrupted frequently by sound effects and other distractions), Bud spends the rest of the half hour playing Beat the Clock with members of the panel.  Afterwards, Garry and Bud swap home games.   

The closing personal question is, “What in all this wide world frightens you most?”  Bill says bumblebees, Jayne says snakes, Henry says poverty, and Faye says complacency and intolerance.
