Thanks to Bev at Sunday Stealing for today's questions!!
1. Have you ever played with a Ouija Board? Yes – I think our
kids had one for a short time and I remember playing with one when I was a
teenager.
2. Favorite horror monster or villain? There is a big difference between horror
monster and villain. We watched Young Frankenstein last weekend so I guess I’ll
go with Frankenstein. I watched Cruella recently and I think she and Ursula
would win my favorite villain awards.
3. If you were dared to spend the night in a “haunted house”, would you do it?
My husband would probably jump at the chance to stay in a haunted house. We
stayed at the Elliott House Inn in Charleston and I thought they told us there
was a ghost but I can’t find anything online to corroborate my story. Our
friends stayed in a hotel one time and they and their twin daughters
experienced SOMETHING. We had another friend who felt firmly that her house was
haunted and she literally dusted her feet off when they sold it and moved. All
that to say, I’m not sure I would stay in a real haunted house (if there is
such a thing).
4. Are you superstitious? I try not to be superstitious but every once in
while, I will catch myself thinking something superstitious. As a Christian, I’m
pretty sure I’m not supposed to be superstitious.
5. Do you ever see figures in your peripheral vision? Only real ones – as in my
husband or someone at work.
6. Ever made a potion of any sort? I don’t think so . . . but a good Irish
coffee is like a potion!!
7. Do you get scared easily? I jump easily. I startle easily. I’m not sure I
get scared easily. I tell myself that anyway!!
8. Have you ever played Bloody Mary? I don’t know about Bloody Mary so I’m
assuming I haven’t played it. I’m debating on googling it!!
9. Would you ever go to a graveyard at night? I wouldn’t wander around any cemetery
here in town because they aren’t safe – from real people not from any other
sort of being.
10. Would you rather go to a Halloween party or go trick or treating? We haven’t
been invited to a Halloween party in so long – I can’t remember the last time I
dressed up. We hosted a Halloween party for our young adults one year and I
think I did wear a witches hat. I might need to host a Halloween party next
year just so I can go. I love to give out the candy while others trick or
treat. I have purchased 1200 pieces of candy . . .and yes, I’ll give out one
piece per kid probably.
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. I would be the person who covers her eyes.
12. Favorite scary book? I don’t think I have a favorite scary book. I do read lots of mysteries and thrillers!
13. How old were you when you saw your first horror movie? I was probably a
teenager or a young adult. Does The Shining count as a horror movie? I remember
going to see that and running to the car afterwards. My daddy forbade me to go
see The Exorcist and do you know that I have never watched it to this day? It
was a rare thing for my daddy to forbid something and he has been dead over 30
years . . .and I still don’t want to watch it.
14. What was your first Halloween costume? I’m 63 years old – I have no idea
what costume I wore. I remember having some costumes with those weird masks
with eye wholes and the string to go around the back of the head . . .oh those
masks were hot! I also remember dressing as a hobo one time which would be
politically incorrect today. I remember dressing as a cat when I was a young
adult – black leotard and tights, a stuffed homemade tail, and homemade ears.
15. If you could have a spooky Halloween pet (black cat, owl, bat, rat, wolf),
what would you pick? Could I have a talking owl, please? Or a talking black cat
like Thackery Binx in Hocus Pocus.
You didn’t ask but Hocus Pocus is my all time favorite
Halloween movie. I’m going to see if it is on Amazon Prime or something this
afternoon.
I would love for you to come back and visit tomorrow and
read my last long post on our recent trip to Ireland.
Last but not least, Happy Halloween from our house to
yours!!
