Trick or Treat - Or, What Scares You Silly?


Ghost, ghouls, candy, vampires, zombies, candy, witches, wizards, candy, monsters, things that go ‘bump’ in the night, and more candy. About sums up Halloween?
Anyway, just a few fun things to blog about today.
First a short list of my favourite scary books and movies—ones that have scared me silly.
Then some funny, and oh-so-cute Halloween laughs.


Favourite scary books:
The Stand – Stephen King
It – Stephen King *Is why I still won’t walk over drains and I hate clowns.
Pet Sematary – Stephen King
The Silence of the Lambs – Thomas Harris
The Stepford Wives – Ira Levin.
I Am Legend - Richard Matheson
The Fog – James Herbert

Favourite scary movies:
(Confession: there aren’t many as I’m a total wuss when it comes to visual horror—I’d much rather read it that see it!)
The Ring. * Gave me blinkin nightmares for weeks!
Salem’s Lot. *Sneakily watched this at age 12. Bad, bad move.
The Shining.
I am Legend.
Rosemary’s Baby.
Alien.
Jaws. *Still hearing that damn cello music decades later…

I’d love to hear some of your recommendations. :)

And to make you giggle (nothing like a nervous tittering when something half scares the pants off you)...









Don’t go crazy with the Halloween candy!

What I’m reading this week: Tangle of Need – Nalini Singh. I love series romances, and it’s so nice to slip back into the world of Changelings and Psy.

What I’m watching this week: The Amazing Race Australia. Love seeing all the different countries the contestants go to, and bragging to my hubby, “Yeah, I could so do that—*insert crazy stunt or gross-food eating challenge*”

This week’s favorite quote: People fear death even more than pain. It's strange that they fear death. Life hurts a lot more than death. At the point of death, the pain is over. Yeah, I guess it is a friend. Jim Morrison 

Hot guy of the week: Will Smith in ‘I am Legend’. Candy? Who needs candy when Will’s around?
