Dark Side Of The Moon

"What do you think we’ll find on the dark side of the Moon?" Harry asked.

"I’m not sure," the woman on the spaceship said. "But I do know this: there won’t be any monsters in that total darkness."

"Why?"

"There’s no full moon. No full moon means no werewolves."

"What about vampires?" Harry asked.

"It’s so dark, they wouldn’t be able to find anybody’s neck."

"Makes sense. What about man-eating zombies?"

"If they can’t see you, they can’t eat your brains."

Harry found her words extremely comforting... until they landed and he ran into a bunch of hungry zombies carrying flashlights.
