Nothing But Horror Movies and Scary Stories
I love Halloween, but there are way too many Horror movies for me to go through. Do I want black and white like Creature from the Black Lagoon? Old Horror movies that I will forever love like Dolls and Fright Night (not that remake one)? Or something new? Final Girls was ten years old but still a lot of fun to watch and jump. And I'm done with gore. Just scare the crap out of me. I can take it except for The Fall of the House of Usher got a little close to a heart attack, thank God not.
And don't forget the scary stories. I've been in a long process of recategorizing, revamping, and removing old stories, but Raven's Edge just didn't seem to want to go. Instead, I will be piecing chapters of it on my blog, melissamendelson.com once a week for the month of October. After that, it will go back to twice a month.
So, if you are looking for a horror movie to watch and/or chapters of a scary story to read, I hope that you will come and visit me.

Thank you, and Happy Halloween. :)
