Happy Halloween!

It's Halloween and that means time for some ghostly, ghastly fun.  I'm not a horror movie junkie by any means, but I do like to have a good scare around Halloween.  "What Lies Beneath", " The Sixth Sense", "Poltergeist" were all pretty much watched through cupped hands.  There's nothing like some spine chilling thrills in the comfort of your living room. 

 I have to admit- I'm not too fond of the slasher movies- just a little too gory for my taste.  I even have to frequently turn my head during CSI--too much blood and guts.    I think the best horror movies are the classics--  Karli and I watched "Wait until Dark" one October and when my kids were still fairly young, I rented "The Birds" and let them watch it one Halloween.  Probably not the best idea.  I remember that movie scared the pants off me when I was a kid. Why I thought it was a good idea to do the same thing to my kids- I can't explain.  "Mr. Boogedy" haunted little Gary many a night.  It was Disney after all- I rationalized. 

One classic that I missed during my youth was "Psycho".  I was well into my adult years before I saw it.   I remember renting it and making Kristal watch it with me.  (Before you turn me in to CPS- she WAS a teenager at the time)  So when I saw this poster I knew it would be perfect for a Halloween post.  You just can't watch Psycho and not do this on the next trip to the bathroom.   In fact-- I think Kristal and Karli might do this routinely, even when they haven't watched Psycho.

Hope you have some spooky, scary fun this Halloween!
