Just a quick reminder that the contest, hosted by Kelly Hashway (http://www.kellyhashway.com/) ends tomorrow (October 15, 2010) at noon. If you want a chance to win a free ebook of Shadow Dancer, you need to get over there.
October. I love this month. Not because of the new fall foliage or the cooler temperatures (which I in fact hate), but because it’s SCARY MOVIE MONTH. Some people hate scary movies. Not me. I love them. The chills, the rush of fear you can later laugh at yourself for, all of it. Last weekend there was a Stephen King marathon: Cujo, Carrie, Sleepwalkers. As Stephen King is one of my favorite writers, a night of his movies was wonderful. This weekend begins the Halloween nights of terror: Scary movies every night, all the way up to Halloween night.
I was trying to decide what were my favorite scary movies. The original “Exorcist” still to this day scares the poop right out of me. Last year I saw the movie “Paranormal”. Oh My Gosh! That is one scary movie. No blood and guts, just honest to goodness mental fear going on. I saw that “Paranormal II” is coming out this weekend, and although I want to see it really bad, I am a bit afraid to, as the first one gave me nightmares. It was great.
What are you favorite things about October? Are you a scary movie fanatic like me? If so, what are your favorites and why?
Hi Courtney!
ReplyDeleteGreat to see "Shadow Dancer" has beome a hit! I love October, it's my favorite month. I love the colors and the cooler weather. The wife and mother in me wants to get ready to fluff the nest for winter. I also love this month because it's my daughter's birthday. When I was younger, I saw ever scary movie and loved them all. Did I tell you the original Friday the 13th was filmed in Blairstown and the surrounding area?
Nowadays, with special effects so realistic, modern scary movies are downright terrifying to me! I did love the first "Saw" film because that was also a mental scare. Just watching the commercial for "Paranormal II" gives me the chills! lol.
I USED to love October when I live up your way in Ohio. My friends and I used to drive around for hours just marveling at all the beautiful fall colors. Down here in Louisiana, ugh. Green or brown, thats it. However, I do love that the air is starting to get crisp and we can sleep with our windows open for awhile.
ReplyDeleteI am not a big fan of scarey movies, at least not horror. I think the scariest movies I ever saw were The Chainsaw Massacre and Helter Skelter. That one kept me awake for weeks. Oh and Eyes Wide Shut. What!! you say? Thats not a horror movies? Well watch again...it sucks!! What an awful movie. I waited the entire movie to see Tom Cruise's behind, because all the advertisements said I would. But no behind. That movie was scarey because it was so awful!
Oh no, not a horror movie fan. I honestly get really freaked out easily so it's not too good for me to watch more scary movies. I've seen a few, but none of the really bloody, gory stuff. I'll probably get forced to watch something next week though as a friend of mine and me are having a small "halloween party" with some friends. Last year we watched Scream I believe...I can't remember what else. We loveee Zombieland though that's not scary, just bloody good fun!!!
