Halloween Survey
What's your favorite Halloween/scary song/poem?
What's the scariest story you ever read?
What movie scared you so badly it took ages to recover?
I'll go first!
My favorite poem is James Whitcomb Riley's "Little Orphant Annie."
"...An' the Gobble-uns 'll git you
Ef you
Don't
Watch
Out!"
The scariest story I ever read is probably Poe's "The Premature Burial," because I have big-time claustrophobia. (As a side note, I had some trouble writing the ending for *Dead for the Money,* because they were climbing the Mackinac Bridge, and I also have big-time acrophobia. I'm just a bundle of phobias.)
The scariest movie was *The Birds.* I had to drive home after watching it by myself, and I was terrified that birds were going to start dive-bombing my windshield. (Hey, I was seventeen--and Hitchcock was GOOD!)
