Alright, boils and ghouls, it’s officially Halloween season. And that means an entire month of spook-tacular, horror-ific blog posts are about to creep into your inboxes.
Give them pleasure. The same pleasure they have when they wake up from a nightmare.

My technicolor blood is pumping a particularly gory shade of red this year, and in addition to my usual Hammer-heavy scare-fest, we’re also going to visit some of the classics and check out a few modern day horror offerings as well.
So I bid you welcome to my chamber of horrors. Why don’t you stay for the night? Or maybe… a bite? I could show you my latest… obsession. (Just a little Rocky Horror reference for those of you who might be fans of this campy little 1975 gem. It just had a birthday!)
Hope you’re all looking forward to this year’s sacrificial offerings. I will present them the best way I know how: Mangled, dripping and bloody, served up on a polished and very pretty silver platter.
Until next time, unpleasant dreams . . .

Philip Winthrop: Is there no end to your horrors?
Roderick Usher: No. None whatever.

I love that opening quote. I never know what to expect when I visit your page Wendy – I like it that way.
Well, thank you, Dan. Hopefully I’ve got a few scares up my sleeve to surprise you with. Mwahahahhahahahaaaa! (Sorry, just needed to get that out.)
Ha. You enjoy this too much.
“Tomb It May Concern…”—love it! :-]
Bring it, Wendy! I’m not looking behind me…I’m not, I’m n—
Thanks, Frank! I was particularly fond of this title, myself. :)
Hey, did you hear that creak…? :-o
