It’s sort of like the Monster Mash, only when it’s over, prizes are given away, new friends are made, and more than one limb will be devoured. By me. I was on my near-daily trek of Google Reader when I stumbled over to Milo James Fowler’s site, where (to my surprise and delight) I found
They have a liquid center. Chewy on the outside, soft on the inside. How about a nibble on my little finger? It’s like a pretzel stick, only not as salty. One of the best parts of any holiday (for me anyway) is the food. Oh glorious ambrosia! Sweet and decadent morsels of the gods! *Ahem.*
As much as I love Halloween, I’ve never been really big into decorating. I always manage *something* (usually a scarecrow and some wooden headstones), but the top-tier haunted house displays were always beyond me. In usually fashion, I went to the dollar store and bought some decorations That looked better in the bag Than
What distinguishes my normal movie viewing habits from my October viewing habits? I actually put *forethought* into what I want to watch. Creepy, right? I used to simply grab three or four movies to watch on Halloween (or the night before, depending on my plans), but as the years have progressed, there are simply too
First, a short announcement: I received word today that work has officially begun on the cover art for my novel. Exciting news to be sure. Other than that very general news, I’m keeping the other information (like *who* is doing the artwork) close to my chest. And now back to your regularly scheduled program. It’s
Like many others, I went into this movie expecting something of a B-horror screamer. Instead, what I found was a comedic, theatrical play (with sets, lighting, and all) about love. Yes, there are demons. And the demons do have their moments of creepiness (I wouldn’t necessarily say any of it is scary though). Mostly they’re
I woke up this morning with an itchy ear. I shoved my pinky into the hole and worked it around, trying to relieve the tickling sensation, but it proved just out of reach. To the bathroom mirror I went, moving my jaw around as if trying to make my ears pop after a long flight.
Someone pointed out to me that I have been–quite unintentionally–posting every day of October so far. You might say, “Big deal, it has only been five days,” to which I might respond, “Shut up!” and stomp off to my sad chair. I’m not going to promise I will post every single day of October (like
A quick post today to point you in the the direction of my guest post on Benjamin Kane Ethridge’s blog. If his name sounds familiar, it’s because I reviewed his first novel–which is now a Stoker winning novel–last year. In other words, if you haven’t read it…you know. So head on over to read my
Did I mention I love October? We’re two days in now, and I’m already dreading the speed with which time will pass me by. The leaves outside my window are still too green, but the chilled air is all autumn. Horror movies and pumpkin-flavored treats are all I can think about. Last October, something incredibly
