Halloween: Stories of ghosts, goblins and ghouls monopolize the setting as the movie makers try to outdo one another with scenes of blood and gore. I often wonder how many bottles of ketchup (or similar fake blood) are wasted as Dracula feeds upon his victims, the Werewolf mauls his prey beyond recognition or Freddy Krueger uses a glove armed with razors to kill his victims in their dreams.
Sharla Shults‘s insight:
What are your fondest memories of Halloween – laughter or shivers? Who did you profess to be?

I guess I’m old school when it comes to horror flicks. Everything is gore and special effects these days. Nothing is left to your very active imagination. I prefer the old, well written, well directed movies of decades ago. To me, “When A Stranger Calls”, circa 1979, was the best horror movie of all time. I didn’t sleep for a week after watching that one and I’ve watched hundreds of horror movies.
