Good And Scary

Hello Everyone:

Perfect Halloween weather.  Cold, damp, and grey.  You can't get anymore Halloween than that.  I love it.  What made it really good was the candy and a really killer Spotify playlist.  Today's post took me a little longer than usual because I went to check out the annual PLB Halloween carnival.  It was a nice child-orientated event.  You know what I love about Halloween, besides the candy?  The scary gothic mood.  I love a good scary movie or book.  You know the kind that makes jump ten feet in the air.  The late lamented Sleepy Hollow had a few episodes that made me jump.  Most of the contemporary scary movies are just blood and gore.  A great scary movie or television show uses a combination of lighting, a good story, the element of suspense, photography, and good direction.  Hmm, it sounds like I just described an Alfred Hitchcock movie.  Alfred Hitchcock was the supreme suspense movie director.  James Wale was the master of horror movies.  Anyway, I love getting into a good story.  Onetime, I was reading Gone Girl, on the bus on my way home from Downtown Los Angeles and almost missed my stop because I was into the book.  Good thing the driver announced the stop.  Hope your Halloween or Day of The Dead was a good one.  If neither one is your thing, feel free to indulge in as much candy as you can.  Remember, chocolate is good for you.
