I suppose because it’s something I am passionate about and also something I feel knowledgeable enough to speak to. Anyone that loves Halloween knows about haunted houses, even… Continue reading In Strolls The Boogeyman

Give A Little Scare
As anyone who knows me will attest, I love Halloween. LOVE IT! For real. So naturally I am very passionate about the season, as witnessed by my many, many stories I have written in honor of the day.

THE BRIDES – Halloween story 2017
He punched before he even thought twice about it. It just happened. A reaction, something clicking in him and in an instant his fist shot out and returned a satisfying crunch and ‘Uh’ when it connected the idiot in the mask that had jumped out in front of him. The satisfaction was short lived though… Continue reading THE BRIDES – Halloween story 2017
Game Face – Halloween story 2017
GAME FACE “Ah, AH! That…that…” The words didn’t seem to form fast enough to stem the flow of blood.

That goddamn motherfucker broke…” “Shut up, son.” The man across from the kid told him… Continue reading Game Face – Halloween story 2017
Sharing the Scares
Since I was a kid I have always loved Halloween and the scarier side of life.

The Trimming Of The 'Ween
It really bums me out how my generation has let Halloween become an adults only party that kids aren't invited to. We let them Trunk or Treat, or hit up a church for a 'harvest festival' but won't let them trick or treat. Those kids that do head out often find slim pickings in people… Continue reading The Trimming Of The 'Ween
