Top Ten Books and Movies to get ready for Halloween
Now, I have always LOVED Halloween, especially when my kids were little. Had so much fun watching them get all excited. BUT_ I do not like scary movies, or even books for that matter, I did start reading Stephen King last year, but aside from him, I am pretty much horror free. So, here is a list of some sort of scary books and movies!
Books
1. Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
Love the Gothic story!
2. Salem’s Lot by Stephen King
Great vampire book from King, with garlic and stakes and coffins
3. The Shining by Stephen King
Scared the %$#@ out of me. I wouldn’t read it when it was dark. Or I was alone. I kept thinking of Joey from Friends hiding it in the freezer when it got too scary!
4. Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
Who is the real monster?
5. Interview With the Vampire by Anne Rice
The book- NOT the movie. I loved this so much when I was a teenager.
6. The Witching Hour by Anne Rice
Witches, Spirts, New Orleans-oh my!
Movies
7. Carrie
Sissy Spacek creeps me out a little too much.
8. Scream
I love how they make fun of the whole genre, yet still give you a good scare!
9. Nightmare on Elm Street
I watched this in the middle of the afternoon when I was 11- didn’t watch another scary movie for about ten years.
10. The Nightmare Before Christmas
I love this movie- we still watch it every year.
