“Eat, drink and be scary”

“Eat, drink, and be merry” is a biblical saying. “Eat, drink and be scary” has been printed on many images and is a popular saying around Halloween.
 
“Let us eat, drink,and be scary” was published in a poem in the Chicago (IL) Daily Tribune on April 2, 1949. Newspaper advertisements for Dairy Queen restaurants in 1969 and 1970 used “Eat, drink and be SCARY.”

Eat, Drink and Be Scary
By MARGARET McKINNEY
   
21 October 1993, USA Today (McLean, VA), “At the Eerie Pubs, eat, drink and be scary” by Cathy Hainer, pg. 3D:
Behind a flickering Victorian gas lamp on a Greenwich Village side street, Dr. Jekyll is concocting another mad brew. Skeletal remains hang from the ceiling, eyes in an oil painting roll left to right, and a coat of armor rattles menacingly. This macabre laboratory is actually the front room of New York’s Jekyll and Hyde pub, where the spirits are not just in bottles.
