THE PUZZLE CORNER: OCTOBER 25, 2014

FUN FACT
Tiny, flying robots are being created to pollinate flowers and other plants because the Earth is losing its bee population to insecticides and pesticides.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Yes, we know when it is, but considering the next Puzzle Corner will be November 1st, we're celebrating Trick or Treat time with 2 brand new Halloween themed enigmas now. Ready?

BEFORE AND AFTER
Two different phrases share at least one word, so can be combined to form something new. Can you guess what it is based upon the clue below?

How the werewolf caught up with his debts

REBUS
A classic line is represented by the image below. Do you know what it is?


As usual, we'll reveal all next weekend. In the meantime, let's open up THE ANSWERS BOX and discover the results of the October 18, 2014 Puzzle Corner.

COMMON BONDS
To do this properly, we'll have to take the subsets a bit out of order this time.
03. {Groups 1 and 2} Everyone appeared in a "Bat-climb" Cameo during the course of the 1966-1968 Batman TV series.
01. {Art Linkletter, Jerry Lewis, Dick Clark, Sammy Davis Junior, Don Ho, Edward G. Robinson, Cyril Lord} All appeared as themselves, although most went unnamed until the closing credits.
02. The following appeared during the cameo AS that character...
Santa Claus (Andy Devine), The Green Hornet and Kato (Van Williams and Bruce Lee, respectively), José Jiménez (Bill Dana), Sam Stone from Felony Squad (Howard Duff), Colonel Wilhelm Klink from Hogan's Heroes (Werner Klemperer), Lurch from The Addams Family (Ted Cassidy), Suzie Knickerbocker (Aileen Mehle)

NEXT?
In the sequence E, T, T, F, F, S, S, E, ?
There were several guesses of T to continue the pattern, but the correct answer is N; because the letters represent Eleven, Twelve, Thirteen, Fourteen, Fifteen, Sixteen, Seventeen, (and) Eighteen. Which of course would be followed by Nineteen.
