Nightmare Alley - New Online Horror Magazine
I
love October. Not only does the weather finally start to cool down a bit, but
fall is amazing. I love all things autumn from the changing leaves, to pumpkin
lattes, to comfy sweaters. It's also the best time for horror and Halloween.

author, Thomas Amo. He released a horror anthology called Midnight Never Ends

#Horror Movies - Fabulous to Just Say No
My
love of horror started at an early age. From the moment I read Dracula in
junior high school, I became fascinated with all things creepy. Maybe it's the
allure of danger or the amped up shot of adrenaline. Whatever it is, I love it!
The first
horror movie I saw was the original Halloween. Because of the rating, I was too
young to see it in the theater, so I had to wait until it came out

Milton Hershey: More Than A Candy Maker
My
mother-in-law invited me to accompany her to her high school reunion in
Hershey, Pennsylvania this September. Yes, the birthplace of Hershey's
chocolate. How could I say no to that?
I like mine with almonds :D
She
sat down with me and started talking about her childhood, and what it was like
growing up in Hershey at that time. I had no idea that Milton Hershey, the

Kitten Rescue - Need Help!
This last year, we have noticed an dramatic increase in cats in our neighborhood. I have three older cats in my backyard who have been spayed. Since I have food out there for them, more cats have started hanging out in our yard - some of them have collars. I don't know who they belong to, but the owners have not had them fixed. I've caught several of them and have taken them to the low

The Ugly Truth About Funeral Costs
Sorry
I haven't been around lately. I know people say that if you want to write, you
will. You'll find a way. But sometimes, life has to take priority, and your
time isn't yours to use. That's what's been going on with my life for awhile
now. I don't mind taking care of loved ones, so it isn't a burden, but it is
time consuming.

Emu Oil? Rook Piercing Follow Up
So
check this out...many of you read my nightmare piercing story about the rook I
had done over a year ago. I hadn't done a follow up, but the stupidity
continued.
My
sister-in-law finally got fed up and took hers out. My sister battled with her
helixes, and finally switched to a smaller gauge, which helped. They finally
healed. My best friend's helixes also continued to give her trouble
