This past Saturday, Kristen Wiig returned to her old 30 Rock stomping grounds to host “Saturday Night Live.” As I don’t watch the show, ever, I assumed it was business as usual. But to my pleasant surprise – and hopefully yours as well – I discover today that the show tackled not one but two horror sketches!

In the first, Wiig plays a “Korean Water Ghost” on a new Disney sitcom called “Aw Nuts, Mom’s a Ghost!”. (References to THE GRUDGE and THE RING abound.) In the second, Wiig performs some acupuncture on castmember Jason Sudekiis with some hilariously bloody results.
