Don't you just love Halloween?
Don't you just love Halloween? I know I
do....
It is not the candy.... it is not the costumes...
It is not the parties that both young and old alike attend.
It is not the candy.... it is not the costumes...
It is not the parties that both young and old alike attend.
It is not the corn mazes that you can get lost
in. I have never under stood the combination of eating donuts and drinking apple
cider so it sure is not that.
Haunted houses.... well they can be real fun. Several places offer haunted houses that you can venture into if you are brave enough.. I must tell you a story about that. Many years ago we picked up the neighbor boy Brian to go to a haunted house. He was probably about 13 at the time. While standing in line waiting for our turn, we watched the people as they exited the haunted house. Many were crying.. most were laughing... almost all were holding onto each other. It really was fun to watch them. Then it was our turn.. Now I had never been to a haunted house before and I certainly had never taken anyone... of course at the last minute my husband decided that he had to be somewhere else at the exact time we were being ushered into this deep dark hole......
Words can NOT express what the haunted house was like. I can only tell you what it was like to have a kid hide his head in my back covering his eyes with my sweater shoving me all the way though and screaming... now mind you this kid didn't see anything.. he couldn't of.. his head was buried in my back... Yes it was very scary.. The minute we got out my husband was waiting for us, and Brian said... "that wasn't so bad.. can we go again????"
Nope.... none of that is why I love Halloween.... I love this time of year because on the radio I can hear this great song...... You can't help but tap your toes and dance the Monster Mash right along with them.... I especially love the Crypt Kicker Five outfits. If I were dressing up for a Halloween party I would dress like those gals... gotta love a good looking outfit like that.
I hope you enjoy Bobby "Boris" Picket and the Crypt Kicker Five as much as I do. I have my dancing shoes on... how about you?

Though I enjoy the horror, fantasy and Sci-Fi genre of movies and books, I don't like Halloween because it is a Pagan holiday the Church adopted and put an "All Saint's" spin on it. Witchcraft and Satanism is real and Halloween is a sacred day to them. I don't condemn people who celebrate Halloween, it's just not for me.

The only reason Young Frank isn't on the list is because it was a bit adult. My halloween classics are the ones I watched as a kid although I did leave one movie off the list and it is the only one that actually scared me when I was little and that is The Creature From the Black Lagoon. It's rather embarrassing to admit I was scared of that one!

Well I would have to put Young Frankenstein in that group Chery; as my #1 favorite.... My favorite line is... "What knockers"(gene wilder)..... "OH.... thanks you Dr."(teri garr) I have watched that movie almost as much as Captain Ron... Let it Ride and the whole Support Your Local Sheriff series....Cindy

I used to love dressing up to hand out candy. Unfortunately no little ghouls in the neighborhood where I live to justify it. All the little ghouls in this neighborhood are in the early 20's except for one 19 year old. So I just indulge my other Halloween passion, curling up in front of the TV with a bowl of popcorn and watching classic horror movies. The staples are the original Nosferatu, Dracula (Bela Lugosi), Frankenstein (Boris Karloff) and The Blob (Steve McQueen).

@ Joe... Dressing up and no one know who you are is sort of like stepping out of your comfort zone... Perhaps I could use that principle to make phone calls.... Not one of the things at the top of my list to do, though I know it is very important!
@Toshiba.... the neighbors up the road have just put up their blow up decoration... covers almost their entire front yard... reminds me of Cinderella and her coach.. except of course it is very ghoulish.. A definite attention grabber.... Cindy
