Had occasion to pull his grandfather up on the use of the word "spook" I told him "That is racist" to which he replied
"I aint racist, I just don't like black people"

will probably not incorporate the original theme music. From memory 'We've got freaks and ghouls, and spooks and fools...at Rentaghost'
