I haven't been trick-or-treating since I was in the 5th grade, but I guess if I ever did go trick-or-treating again I would probably take Carly Beth, as she would be wearing the scary Haunted Mask from the Goosebumps books. I'm sure she would scare all the other kids away, so we could have all the candy for ourselves.

An Unforgotten Fright: Garfield In Disguise



With Halloween only a few days away, I thought it would be nice to feature a post strictly on one of my favorite holiday specials - Garfield's Halloween Adventure, which aired on CBS on October 30, 1985. I may have been only a 4-year-old at the time, but I have fond memories watching the animated special. My mom recorded it on a VHS tape, so I could watch it yearly.

The special was directed by Phil Roman based on the screenplay by Garfield's creator Jim Davis. It centered on Garfield learning that you can get free candy on Halloween night just by dressing up and going door to door saying, "Trick-or-Treat." This gives him a great idea - he will throw on a costume and bring Odie along with him, so he can get twice the "candy, candy, candy, candy!"

After digging through their owner's (Jon) stuff in the attic, Garfield puts together a pirate costume and goes as Orange Beard The Pirate Cap'n and Odie goes as his First Mate, Odie-the-stupid. The two pets go door to door collecting bags full of candy. Before they call it a night, Garfield wants to go trick-or-treating at the houses across the river. The ferry boat doesn't run at night, so there is good chance that they can receive a huge loot of candy there!

Garfield & Odie go trick-or-treating!

Garfield and Odie hop into a rowboat and of course Odie does most of the paddling that is until he loses the oars. For a few minutes they think they are lost, but eventually they find land - a small island with a creepy house. Garfield and Odie sneak in and try to warm up in front of a fireplace, but they are quickly startled by a creepy old man who tells them a scary pirate story. As it turns out, the pirate tale is real and the ghost pirates are turning to tonight for their treasure!

Return to Foxworth Hall - A Review Of Christopher's Diary: Secrets of Foxworth


It has been nearly 37 years since the Gothic horror novel Flowers in the Attic written by the late V.C. Andrews was published. While the book was considered "trash" by critics and librarians, readers, especially teenagers, were entranced by the Dollanganger children. The incest storyline between an adolescent brother and sister is still taboo by many libraries, which is why the book and its sequels are still banned in some places around the world.

Three sequels, Petals on the Wind (1980), If There Be Thorns (1981) and Seeds of Yesterday (1984), were released before V.C. Andrews' death in 1986. The prequel novel, Garden of Shadows, was unfinished before her death, resulting in a ghostwriter (Andrew Neiderman) being hired to finish writing it, as well as writing each and every new V.C. Andrews title that followed.

Due to the popularity of the original book, Hollywood soon took notice. In 1987, the film adaptation of Flowers in the Attic was released to negative reviews from critics and fans, mostly due to the incest storyline not being used, as well as other changes, especially the film's ending. The only interesting factor from the movie is V.C. Andrews cameo that was filmed before her death.

The Dollanganger franchise seemed to be dead until a made-for-television version of Flowers in the Attic aired on Lifetime earlier this year. Despite being a watered-down adaptation, the film did use the incest storyline and stayed more faithful than the 1987 version. Though it received mixed-reviews from critics, the TV-movie received high ratings for Lifetime, resulting in a Petals on the Wind going into production within a few weeks. The sequel was also a watered-down-version of the book, but it did well-enough in ratings that Lifetime ordered the adaptations of If There Be Thorn and Seeds of Yesterday, both set to air sometime in 2015.

Being released today is the semi-sequel to the Dollanganger series, titled Christopher's Diary: Secrets of Foxworth written by the ghost author (Andrew Neiderman) under the name V.C. Andrews. The original series is beloved by fans, so entering back into the Dollanganger world is a little risky, especially since the last batch of ghostwritten books have received mixed to negative reaction from fans, mostly due to the way the books are now written, which is aimed towards a teenage audience instead of adults. Plus, the books have been lacking that Gothic feeling that V.C. Andrews was known for.

That being said, I was still interested in reading Christopher's Diary: Secrets of Foxworth, which I
received an advanced galley copy back in late August.

Top 5 Classic & Modern Horror Films


With Halloween right around the corner the season to be spooked is upon us! As the leaves slowly change and fall from the trees, the cold wind blows in, and jack-o-lanterns light up windows, the world looks a little more ominous. It’s the perfect time of year to get scared out of your mind watching a great horror film. There are generally two camps when it comes to horror films; those who prefer the classics before it because all guts and gore, and those who love the edge modern technology has give to the genre. So, in honor of both of those camps, and Halloween, let’s take a look at the five (arguably) best horror films from each time period. While these are entirely subjective lists, chances are you’ll agree with at least a few.

5 Best Classic Horror Films (Pre-1980)



This classic Hitchcock film has long served as a shining beacon in his trophy case of horror and suspense films. Based off the 1952 novella of the same name written by Daphne du Maurier, it tells the horrific story of what happens when nature turns on man, or more specifically in the film, woman.

Hitchcock based the film around his trademark “Hitchcock Blonde”, this time an unknown actress named Tippi Hedren. Hedren plays the San Franciscan socialite Melanie Daniels in the film who is present to a growing number of mysterious incidents involving birds. After two separate incidents involving attacks by seagulls and sparrows, we soon realize that it’s all the birds that are out for blood. As more and more people begin to report bird attacks they start to increase in frequency and aggressiveness before reaching a frantic climax (which includes the infamous telephone booth scene.)

What the film managed to do was create an irrational fear in all of us since we’ve all been around flocks of birds. Hitchcock was a master at manipulating reality and making his viewers completely terrified of the everyday. The Birds is a shining example and is still regarded as one of the best horror films of all time.


Another gem in Hitchcock’s resume is this 1960 thriller that made all of us completely terrified to take a shower for at least a week after watching it. The film follows Marion Crane (played by Janet Leigh) as she goes on the lamb after stealing money from her office to help fund her pending marriage. As she flees the scene and tries to evade the authorities she comes across the rundown and largely empty Bates Motel with it’s strange proprietor Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins) who takes care of the hotel and his aging mother Norma.

From there the film delved into completely uncharted territory with its violence and sexuality, but these only served to create even more buzz for the film with lines around the block when it hit theaters. It’s also proved to be one of the most successful horror films of all time with a box office take of $32 million for a film made on only $800,000.


Based on the best-selling novel of the same name by Ira Levin, this 1968 Roman Polanski film put a whole new sense of fear into expectant mothers thanks to it’s creative storyline involving carrying the spawn of Satan. Starring Mia Farrow at the titular character in her most famous role, it follows Rosemary’s difficult pregnancy that sees her become so ill it appears as if she’s slowly dying, a far cry from the typical glow and fullness that typically comes with pregnancy.

As her body is thrown into turmoil she slowly begins to question those around her including her strange neighbors and new friends of her husbands. She soon uncovers the truth about what’s happening to her, the shocking role her husband played in it, and the shocking secrets of those around her.

If this situation occurred, then I would have to ask Van Helsing from Bram Stroker's Dracula (book or movie version). I'm sure he would know how to dispose of the ghouls.

The Gory Legend of Hull House


There was a huge surge of horror movies starting with the slasher classic John Carpenter's Halloween in 1978 and continued throughout the '80s, though the popularity started to wind down towards the'90s. Once of the last classic horror films from that era was 1988's Night of the Demons (originally titled Halloween Party.) The film was directed by Kevin S. Tenney and starred William Gallo, Hal Havins, Amelia Kinkade, Cathy Podewell and Linnea Quigley. The film centered on a group of teenagers having a party on Hallowen Night at the so-called haunted Hull House. After their host Angela holds a séance, a demon possesses her and one by other demons possesses the other teens, except for a Judy, Sal and Roger, whom all are trying to find a way to escape Hull House alive.

My first encounter with Night of the Demons was when I was nine or ten and my mother had set a timer to record the movie on Showtime for my aunt, whom is only six-years older than me. The movie was on early in the morning and I woke up early that morning before school, got a bowl of cereal and turned on the television just in time to see Jill Terashita as Frannie pop out of a coffin topless. Let's just say I only watched a few minutes before I turned the television off in fear that I would get in trouble for watching it. Five or six years late, I recorded the movie late one night on Showtime, so I could finally see the movie. I completely forgot about the film until I came across it on Hulu last year. Then when I heard about the Shout! Factory Collector's Edition, I went ahead and ordered it.

Review & Giveaway - Redeemed: A House Of Night Novel




Redeemed
A House Of Night Novel, book 12
by P. C. Cast & Kristin Cast
Publisher: St. Martin's Griffin
Pub. Date: October 14, 2014
ISBN: 978-0312594442
Pages: 320
Buy Link: Amazon

Review:

Yes, the time has come for the final installment in the popular A House Of Night series by the mother and daughter duo, P. C. Cast & Kristin Cast, that started with in 2007 with the first novel, titled Marked. A House Of Night is set in a world where some teenagers have "junk DNA." It triggers them to become vampyres (vampires), which the transformation between human and vampyre takes four years to complete. If a fledging is not near an adult vampyre at all times, then than fledging will die. This is why fledgings are sent to a House of Night school during those troubling four years.

Zoey Redbird has been the main protagonist all through the series, arriving at the House of Night in Tulsa as a teenager, her powers have grown and she is now known as the High Priestess who has the power of all five elements (air, fire, water, earth and spirit). When she isn't having boyfriend troubles, she is battling the forces of darkness along with her friends.

Redeemed picks ups shortly after last year's Revealed with Zoey accidentally killing two men with her powers. She leaves the Seer Stone at the House of Night and confesses her crimes to Detective Marx, who has no other choice but to arrest her for the murders. She is unaware that she didn't commit the crime, but instead her once mentor now turned enemy, Neferet, is the actual murderer.

Meanwhile, Neferet's role as the Dark Goddess as taken a turn for the worse, well, at least for the other vampyres and as well as the humans. The darkness has finally consumed her and she becomes outrage when she hears that Zoey has taken the fall for what she has done. Along with her army or minions, Neferet invades the Mayo and takes human hostage and declares war on the world.

Review - Ash and the Army of Darkness



Ash and the Army of Darkness
by Steve Niles, Dennis Calero and Nacho Tenorio
Publisher: Dynamite Entertainment
Pub. Date: October 21, 2014
ISBN: 978-1606905166
Pages: 192
Buy Link: Amazon

Review:
 
While I consider myself to be a horror-buff, I never knew the Evil Dead films even existed until I caught the last half of Army of Darkness on the Scifi Channel (now known as Syfy) in the late '90s during my teenage years. Being a fan of Bruce Campbell ever since he starred in the short-lived series The Adventures of Brisco County Jr., I instantly took to liking to what little I saw of the movie. Luckily, the movie reaired the following weekend, so I could watch it.  I was able to find the VHS (Remember those?) of Army of Darkness at Best Buy, along with Evil Dead II: Dead By Dawn. I later rented the original Evil Dead and eventually bought it on VHS, so, basically I saw the movies in reverse. And of course I saw last year's remake.

There have been several comic books based on the character Ash from the series over the years, but none has picked up directly where Army of Darkness left off - well, until Dynamite Entertainment released a brand new series last year called Ash and the Army Darkness. The eight issue series is now available in one volume.

The Wrong Turn Saga


For the last fourteen years, the horror genre has been watered-down into PG-13 cliched flicks and badly-written remakes. The over the top gory movies are a thing of the past, well at least in the theaters as a few decent horror films have found their way straight-to-DVD/Blu-ray over the years including the Wrong Turn franchise.

Remember Wrong Turn?

Wrong Turn was a backwoods horror film that was released to theaters in 2003. It was directed by Rob Schmidt and starred Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Eliza Dushku. The plot centered on a group of travelers stranded in the back roads of West Virginia, where they are being hunted by three inbred disfigured cannibal brothers. Despite receiving mixed reviews the film did alright at the box-office, taking in over $28 million on a $12 million budget.

The film was almost forgotten about by horror fans until the sequel Wrong Turn 2: Dead End went straight-to-DVD & Blu-ray in 2007. The sequel centered on a survival reality game show being filmed in a remote area of West Virginia where Three-Fingers and his inbred cannibal family live. Of course one by one the cast and crew are killed off in a gory fashion. Filmed on the small budget of $4, the sequel raked in $9 million dollars in rental and video sales. It also received positive reviews from both critics and horror fans.

Wrong Turn 2
Two years later, Wrong Turn 3: Left for Dead was released to DVD and Blu-ray. This time Declan O'Brien came aboard to direct (along with the next two sequels as well), which was considered a bad move by horror fans as the film was horribly written and filmed. The plot involved a group of prisoners escaping a prison bus and takes a few hostages while escaping in the West Virginia woods, but Three-Fingers happens to be in the area, so you know what happens next.

A Haunting Christmas!




Goosebumps Most Wanted: Special Edition #2
The 12 Screams of Christmas
by R.L. Stine
Publisher: Scholastics
Pub. Date: September 30, 2013
Retail: $7.99
ISBN: 978-0545627771
Pages: 192
Buy Link: Amazon

Review:

Its hard to believe that it has been over 22 years since the first Goosebumps by R.L. Stine was published. The original series ended in 1997 with a total of 62 books, but the franchise continued with Goosebumps Series 2000, Give Yourself Goosebumps and Tales to Give You Goosebumps. A popular television series of the same name aired in the middle '90s. R.L. Stine launched a brand new series Goosebumps Horrorland in 2008, followed by Goosebumps Hall Of Horrors and Goosebumps Most Wanted.

Out now in bookstores is the newest installment Goosebumps Most Wanted: Special Edition #2: The 12 Screams of Christmas. The story centers on Kate Welles, a sixth-grader with a sixth sense. Yes, she can see the dead, well, she can ghosts. Her classmates call her Ghost Girl because of her "gift," but nobody really believes that she actually see the dead.

Her class is having a holiday play this year called "The 12 Screams Of Christmas." It is written and directed by the music teacher Mr. Piccolo (his students call him Mr. P). Kate wants to land a great role in the play, but her frenemy, Courtney, will do anything to steal the part from her.

Review:

The television series Sleepy Hollow was a surprise hit last year on FOX, which just started its second season a few weeks ago. Similar to other fantasy television shows, Sleepy Hollow has entered into the world of novelizations with last month's release of Sleepy Hollow: Children Of The Revolution by Keith R. A. DeCandido, an author who has written a novelization of from almost every popular science-fiction and fantasy franchises.

Sleepy Hollow is based on the classic short story "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" by Washington Irving and centers on Ichabod Crane (played by Tom Mison) waking up from his grave in our time and of course the Headless Horseman, whom is one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, comes back from the dead too. Crane teams up with Lt. Grace Abigail "Abbie" Mills (played by Nicole Beharie) of the Sleepy Hollow Police Department to defeat the rising demons and the upcoming apocalypse. He is still searching for his long-lost wife Katrina Crane (played by Katia Winter), who is a witch that is stuck between the living and the dead.

Children Of The Revolution takes place between the season one episodes "The Golem" and "The Vessel." Ichabod Crane is still adjusting to living in the twenty-first century; minding his own business while walking in the park that is until he receives a new vision from his wife, Katrina, telling him to seek out the Congressional Cross that he received over two-hundred years ago.

I vividly remember when I was around five-years-old (prior to starting kindergarten) when my parents and me lived in an old two-story house in the country. I was looking at a Berenstain Bears book (I don't think I knew how to read a complete book yet) in my bedroom when suddenly a shadowy image of a little girl walked across the room, opened up the cabinet door and began tossing my stuffed toys towards me. I grabbed my book and ran downstairs screaming. I don't recall what happened afterwards, but I remember my parents moving the beds to the family room and we slept in there until we eventually moved into town. Now every time I pick up a Berenstain Bears book, I think about the little ghost girl playing with my toys.

I Dare You To Walk Down The Halls of Eerie Elementary



I thought I would kickoff The Halloween Blog Bash with a review of the second installment of the new Eerie Elementary series, which is part of the Branches book line from Scholastic Inc. Eerie Elementary #2: The Locker Ate Lucy! (ISBN: 978-0545623957; 96 pagers) is written by Jack Chabert with illustrations by Sam Ricks.

Eerie Elementary centers on the third grade hall monitor Sam Graves, who had just learned from the school's janitor, Mr. Nekobi, that the school is actually alive and it needs to feed off of students. Along with his pals, Lucy and Antonio, Sam tries to protect his fellow students against the supernatural school.

In the second installment, The Locker Ate Lucy!, Sam, Lucy And Antonio begin the researching the history of Eerie Elementary in the attempt to discover what or whom is behind the supernatural occurrences. After stepping into the creepy Eerie Cemetery, the trio learn that Orson Eerie never died, even though he was born 1871. Is Orson Eerie behind the haunting at the school?

The trio rush back to Eerie Elementary, so they won't be late for their classes. Shortly after arriving, the unthinkable happens - Lucy disappears into thin air near her locker. After a quick investigation, Sam and Antonio find some sort of slime in her locker which leads to a dark tunnel. They must follow the trail of slime into the deepest and scariest parts of Eerie Elementary in the attempt to rescue Lucy.

Bloggers Wanted For Halloween Blog Bash!


http://www.coffeeaddictedwriter.com/p/halloween-blog-bash.html
Feel free to Right Click and Save As to Share the Button on your Blog!

For the last three years in October, I have been celebrating my love for Halloween with either a 13 or 31 day celebration featuring book reviews, movie reviews and guest posts. Last year, I teamed up with Literary R&R, which we both featured one or more Halloween themed posts for 31 days. I found 31 days to be a little difficult, due to interfered with a few book tours I couldn't get out of.

I would like to do things a little different this year than last year's 31 Days of Halloween. Instead of each blog posting a Halloween themed post for 31 days, this year each blog will post on specific days. This way each blogger will have to participate in book tours and can publish other non-Halloween posts in October.

Bloggers can pick as many days (well, at least one day) as they want to participate in. The posts can be anything with a Halloween theme, including book reviews, movie reviews, interview with horror authors, giveaways, etc.

Bloggers Can Sign Up Below:
