 You are in the Laboratory.  The most notable feature is a huge 
 slab in the middle of the room.  There is a large 
 lever switch.  The stairs are the only obvious exit. The ceiling
 is a glass dome painted black, too  high to reach.
 There is the shape of a body on the slab, covered with a sheet.

 The lights dim.  A massive door on the east wall
 opens revealing a bank of computers, generators, and misc.
 electronic gear.  The generators start to scream.
 The lights dim more.  Suddenly sparks start to fly from the
 equipment.   The body on the table starts to jerk around.
  
 As suddenly as it started, the generators turn off, the
 wall closes.  And everything returns to normal.....
 Then the body rises, removes its sheet and it is a monster.
  
 The monster approaches you and says 'Trick or Treat'
 The lever has been thrown, and is stuck in that position.

 The monster is pleased. He eats the candy, walks through the west wall

There are generally 12 bongs from the moose, but I noticed a blank
line once in the middle.  Artifact or significant

The grave in the ne corner is opened by dig to reveal the bone from
the missing link worth 15 points.  Further dig  uncovers a lever.
Pulling the lever causes an oil leak.
After a while a truck enters the gate and goes into the garage.
(or perhaps parks in front of the garage).  open door  works
and one can enter the truck but without treasures (at least bone
and watch).  One can close the door of the truck.  Then waiting
several turns causes the driver to return and drive out.  There
is then a party that ends the game.  If one has found the bone
one gets 40 points, but maybe that's just for entering and getting
out.  Perhaps another way of getting the treasures out is needed.

In bedroom, "get on bed" works. Then JUMP  breaks the mirror but
doesn't otherwise help. In the bathroom, WASH gets the gem from
the soap and leaves water running.  Water may be turned off.
Maybe something gets flooded if it's left on.

In bedroom, TAKE MATTRESS works and DROP MATTRESS on balcony
makes it safe to JUMP.  The mattress may be carried about but
if it is left, it provides a safe place to jump on subsequent
trips to the bedroom.

Flush toilet causes it to spin.  It will kill you unless you
have used the toilet and taken a bath; then
it puts you in a room with a jade worth 15 points.

The candy is fed to the monster who runs through the wall in
the attic.  The turpentine from the bottle POUR TURPENTINE
reveals a Rembrandt "Aristotle contemplating the bust of Homer".

From the entry point to the maze (n e) gets you to "Cantor was here"
and from there (n n e e) gets you to the trap door.
