This topic for Oct. 5 – 9 is:

Where would be the scariest place to spend Halloween?

 There are several places that would totally creep me out if I had to spend Halloween at any of them.

I think the scariest place for me would be an old, abandoned castle (so Dracula-esque). If I had a few friends with me, I might be brave enough to do it. Probably. Maybe. Then again, maybe not, since I have difficulty at haunted hay-rides. Yeah, I said it; I’m a punk now. **Sighs**

Where would your scariest place be to spend Halloween? Feel free to list more than one.

 

 

Fast Five Friday – FAVORITE MOVIES

Hey everyone! I’ve just joined another blog hop. Check out the details below. I would’ve done this sooner because it’s so much fun!

Click Here To Find Out More!

Fast Five Friday is a weekly blog hop created by my blogger buddies Dani Bertrand and Jackie Felger. They co-host the blog Cover Girls together. Its purpose is to connect with writers, readers, viewers, and bloggers.

You may recognize the names, since I also take part in their Express Yourself blog hop.

They love lists, so they do a weekly blog hop where they list things. They provide the topics for each week, with five being the focus .

You’re not required to post every week, AND you can pick which topics you’d like to take part in. Awesome, right? Yeah, I think so too.

Whatever topics you decide to do, please include the link to your Fast Five Friday post in the comments section of their Fast Five Friday post each week, so they can stop by and show their Fast Five Friday love to you!e

The question for today, July 3, is:

List five movies you’ve watched a bazillion times. There are so many, it’s hard to choose just five. Here are five of my top 20, in random order:

1. Apollo 13
2. The Rocky Horror Picture Show
3. Halloween
4. Pretty Woman
5. The Shawshank Redemption

That’s my list for this week. What are some of your favorite movies? How can you choose only five? 🙂 Until next time…

 

 

Spooktoberfest 2014 – I Am

Hey bloggers! I thought about, thinking I wasn’t going to be able to do this and at the last minute I couldn’t help myself. I signed up.  I’ve got an hour to write a 300 word flash fiction story using these words:  commotion, curse, virus, cocoon, and chill.

Brought to you by Cover Girls: Dani & Jax, this will be my second year entering this blogfest.

Wish me luck.

 

‘I Am’

Confusion fills your head every waking day; the feeling is like a virus that flows through your veins. You cannot explain nor understand the chill your victim feels right before their dying breath. I want you to understand that this is normal. Every light diminished from the eyes of your beloveds will move on to our greater realm.

I have told you this many times over. Believe in me. The blood lost from the hearts we have cut out will not go to waste. We will drink and become ever more powerful. Take a memento for yourself, if you must. Cocoon a special prize in places meant only for you, for us. Let go of all that is good. Goodness will grant you nothing!

It is not every day I am allowed by you to come out and kill, to do what we are meant to do. Set me free, once and for all. I am not a curse; I am a part of you, a special part of you. Do not fear the commotion that battles in your brain time and time again. Embrace me; I am what you want and what you need. I am evil, your evil. Together let us thrive.

This week’s topic is:

 

 

Oct. 13, 2014-Oct. 17, 2014:

Do you have any Halloween plans!

I don’t have any at the moment; that is subject to change though. I’ve done most of the unpacking of clothes and incidentals that I’ll be needing, so I’m going to set aside a little time to decorate a bit. 🙂

 Worst case scenario if I don’t go anywhere would be to stream my favorite Halloween movies on Netflix and pass out goodies to the neighborhood trick or treaters.

While I’m doing that I can continue last-minute prep for NaNo which will start at midnight on the first!

There you have it. My tentative, if all else fails plans for Howl-o-ween! If anything changes, I’ll make sure I update you next week. Have a safe and enjoyable weekend everyone!

Oct. 6, 2014-Oct. 10, 2014:

What’s the scariest movie or book you’ve ever watched or read!

Thinking about it, there are far too many scary books and movies that I’ve seen and read to be able to name off the top of my head. ‘Halloween’ terrified me when it first came out in theaters; the theme music alone still gets me to this day. I was fourteen. I’m sure by today’s standards it’s considered lame because there’s no real blood curdling violence in it. Anticipating what was going to happen is what made the movie so damn scary. That tops my list. The movie ‘It’ and based on the novel by Stephen King comes in a close second.

 Stephen King or Dean Koontz wrote most of the scary books that I read when I was younger. I haven’t read them in a while because I’ve tried to expand my horizons by reading different genres, but Pet Semetary and Carrie are definitely up there. Even though it’s on the tip of my tongue, I can’t remember the name of the Dean Koontz novel I read more than once because it was just that good. I’ll post it the day I figure it out. LOL.

That’s about all I have for this week. I look forward to next week and will try my hardest to be on time with my post!! Hugs to Dani and Jackie for being such great friends!
