1. Have you ever played with a Ouija Board?

Yes, when I was a teenager, we played with a Ouija Board once or twice. One of th girls was actually pushing the plnchette to spell out phrases to frighten the rest of us.

2. Favorite horror monster or villain?

Too many to name.  But right now I am binge watching that 1960's Gothic soap,. Dark Shadows. There were also two moives with the original cast, House of Dark Shadows and Night of Dark Shadows.  So today I'll answer the question with "Barnabas Collins".  Asl me again and I might say "Voldemort". Or maybe "Dracula".

3. If you were dared to spend the night in a “haunted house”, would you do it?

Yes.

4. Are you superstitious?

A bit.

5. Do you ever see figures in your peripheral vision?

No.

6. Ever made a potion of any sort?

No.

7. Do you get scared easily?

Yes.


8. Have you ever played Bloody Mary?

No.


9. Would you ever go to a graveyard at night?

Why not?

10. Would you rather go to a Halloween party or go trick or treating?

Definitely the party.

11. Whilst watching scary movies, are you the person who yells at the characters, the person with their eyes covered the whole time, or the person who falls asleep

A combination of the first two, I don't fall asleep. Well I did, once, when I saw Nightmare Before Christmas, but to be honest I was exhausted that day. 

12. Favorite scary book?

I think I really got into horror and spooky stories when I read "The Telltale Heart" by Edgar Allan Poe.

We wwere in Baltimore last summer and visited Poe's hosue.







13. How old were you when you saw your first horror movie?

I don't remember.

14. What was your first Halloween costume?

I don't remember.  I do remember dressing up as a Geisha and as a hippie.

15. If you could have a spooky Halloween pet (black cat, owl, bat, rat, wolf), what would you pick?

I miss  Mr. Mistoffeles.  He was a black cat. I would love to have another black cat, they are the best.

    Black cats are great, although they don't photograph well. I, too, might be willing to stay in a haunted house. For some reason, I don't see (or hear or feel) ghosts. Not for a lack of trying, though.

    Instead of Bloody Mary, I rather have Bloody Maria. Instead of vodka they put in tequila.
    Coffee is on and stay safe

It’s all coming back to me now

 So you should know that I am not a “shopper”.  I live in shopping mall heaven — I’m ten minutes from the Broadway Mall,  15 from Roosevelt Field and 25 from Whitman Shoppes — but I seldom go to the mall.  I prefer to shop on line.  And when I do venture into a store, I usually know what I want and buy it as quickly as possible.  I’m not one to browse through stores just to see what’s for sale. There’s a local chain,  Baked By Melissa , that specializes in mini cupcakes.  They’re primarily in Manhattan.  A few years ago Becca introduced me to their product - delicate little cakes, exquisitely decorated, very tasty.  I walk past their shop on 7th Avenue whenever we go to the theater. Well, last week I remembered that they used to have a second shop on 7th, right next to the original shop, but selling gluten-free versions of all their cupcakes. The gluten-free shop closed, but the company continues to make a gluten-free version of their product. So I thought that gluten-free cupcakes wou

DISboards nonsense

found a new blog today. Love it. http://secret-squirrel.webs.com/index.htm I've posted there under various names over the last 10 years or so. it went from a sweet little board that was Pete Werner's hobby to ....well, a real nightmare. that a board devoted to all things Disney can be such a nasty, racist, childish (not childlike) place.... loving the inside scoop, though. Did I ever tell you how "songbird" was banned from the DIS? I was a poster in good standing for 3-4 years. Even booked my trips through Dreams Unlimited, back when Pete was careful to distinguish between the disboards as a hobby and Dreams as his business. Pete and Webmaster Alex were struggling with server issues, the disboards would go down more often than they'd stay up. then Pete announced cosmetic changes to wdwinfo.com, which feeds into the disbaords forum. Like all other members of the forum, I was frustrated. so I was a bit sarcastic. I posted something to the effect of "would yo

Music Monday

Another “your choice” week. How about new music from icons of the 60’s and 70’s? Let’s start with Jimmy Buffett’s posthumous hit, “Bubbles Up”. The Rolling Stones released a new song in 2023, it’s called “Angry”. The surviving Beatles (with some  help from AI) released “Now and Then”. And then Billy Joel …    The AI effects in the video blew me away… A note about the AI effects … the Beatles used it to isolate John’s vocals on an old demo.  Billy Joel had a young man play the piano then superimposed his own face onto the image of the younger man.
