When I was young, I was scared easily. Especially at hallowe’en. Scary things coming to the *front* door! Later, I relished reading Stephen King and watching old horror movies. I’m not much for graphic horror though. My favourite scary movie? Alien.
I quite like scary films, although I'm not all that keen on the supernatural - so whereas, for instance, I love the 'Scream' canon I really didn't enjoy 'The Shining'. Mind you, I did choose to watch it while I was alone in the house for a couple of days - own fault!
Hallowe'en (the event, not the film!) has become much, much more of a thing over here in recent years. At junior school we'd never even heard of trick-or-treating. When I first went to the States in October 1981 I remember being really surprised (and terrified!) of all the inflatable ghosts and ghouls and witches, and people out on the streets in incredibly realistic, ghoulish fancy dress.
This was fun.

Loved this, and absolutely feel it. I’m not a fan of gore or body horror, but creepy and spooky is fun 🧡🖤
A great read - thanks, Alison!
