Tonight, the original classic vampire film. #TeamStoker @TheReadingMermaid

Always one more page. As always I related to any number of her comics in this collection.

Halloween read @TheReadingMermaid

A collection of 3 stories set on Halloween starring several of everyone‘s favorite villains, and of course Batman (and Alfred, who is almost my favorite). I liked the last story best, a Halloween version of A Christmas Carol. #TeamStoker

Fun poems for Halloween #TeamStoker

I have heard of bowl cuts, but pumpkin cuts? 😂 Some of the “facts” in this book were questionable, such as this one and one stating that witches “poured bat blood on themselves” (if anyone has heard of these let me know). At least most of the art was cute. #TeamStoker

An engaging read-with-kids book about a hamster and his friends going to a party. #TeamStoker

Extremely good and thorough look at folklore related to vampires and burial practices. He looks at what they believed, and what was the truth and likely causes of what was reported as having been seen. Multiple translations of reports from the times done by the author. All written with a dry wit that keeps it very readable. #TeamStoker

Dracula lives again! Why are people so foolish when they find a vampires resting place? #TeamStoker #Scarathlon

Another one for the kids to read for practice. It was ok, but I found the poems to be just that, ok not clever or cute. #TeamStoker

This book is an easy one for a little one to read to their parent. #TeamStoker #Scarathlon

A book of Halloween poems that would be good for reading aloud. #TeamStoker #Scarathlon

I hit up the library and am about ready to get reading! #TeamStoker #Scarathlon @TheReadingMermaid

Just finished Jeepers Creepes 2. He really is an ugly creature. #TeamStoker #Scarathlon

So I don‘t have one from Halloween but I do have this one of the re-enactment at Versailles, close enough? #TeamStoker @TheReadingMermaid

It‘s Halloween! Tim Curry is coming over to get ready to jump with me! Jimmy Carter helped us punching pumpkins, & now Heath Ledger & I are going to put them in the cafe. We are full after eating anchovies, & are ready to go now! Tom Felton told us to watch out for the Eiffel Tower down the street because it‘s scary with roly poly webs & broken boxes. It‘s the house where Sam Smith & Wil Ferrel live!

I do not think I am brave enough to find out what a “zombie” flavored skittle is like. #chillingphotochallenge #candy #TeamStoker @TheReadingMermaid

First film of the night. #TeamStoker #Scarathlon @TheReadingMermaid

This is not me, but I have cosplayed this character. She/he is Belial from Angel Sanctuary by Kaori Yuki. Unfortunately my photos are on an external hard drive, which is ... somewhere. #TeamStoker @TheReadingMermaid

I think I will try making these this year. This book has a number of bookish recipes appropriate for the Halloween season #TeamStoker #Scarathlon @TheReadingMermaid

Bones the skeleton takes you on a rhymed tour of a haunted house in this pop-up book.

This was my first time watching any real version of Jekyll and Hyde, I did not know that Jekyll was such an a$$. I really need to put this on my tbr. (And I don‘t know why everything in my room looks so yellow in pictures 🤨) #TeamStoker

I can only aspire to the level of drama of dear Auntie in this film lol. I love her . The Vampire Bat 1933

While I appreciated the bits of Halloween history and lore scattered in this, the recipes and crafts were just so-so even for kids. I don‘t think mine would have gone for grapes covered in sour cream in a pie pan (eyeball pie) #TeamStoker

I wish I had a hairpiece that looked like this filter. Selfie for #Teamstoker @TheReadingMermaid

A nice book for fans of the series with an example of sharing at the end. #TeamStoker #Scarathlon

Cute enough story. Honestly I thought it was going to be a graphic novel when I reserved it so I was a bit disappointed. But it was an ok story. #TeamStoker #Scarathlon

That‘s right ladies and gents, to stop a revenant flip him over and hit him on the butt with a shovel. Lol, I love folklore.
#TeamStoker #Scarathlon @TheReadingMermaid

I think cozies are just not my thing. The supernatural element helped, but I just prefer more atmosphere. #TeamStoker #Scarathlon

The #Grim fact is that working 36+ hrs out of the next 72 will seriously cut into my reading time ☹️ #Chillingphotochallenge #TeamStoker @TheReadingMermaid

If anyone is looking for some reading suggestions #TeamStoker #Scarathlon @TheReadingMermaid

Some of these I felt suffered from the short story format, but most I liked. My favorite was A Very Baba Yaga Halloween. Not sure whether to count this as 2 points for on theme or 5 points since a couple of stories were in Halloween/Day of the Dead
#TeamStoker @TheReadingMermaid #Scarathlon

Ju-on (Japanese version The Grudge). One of my favorite movies. My son says he prefers this version as well, this was his first time seeing the whole thing. #TeamStoker #Scarathlon

Baba Yaga stories are definitely a new favorite for me. I loved Masha in this one as well and would happily read more if they make it a series #TeamStoker #Scarathlon

I had not thought about The Littles in years and was amazed by how much of their family I remembered. I had not read this one before, but it was as fun as those I recall. #TeamStoker #Scarathlon

Ok, so not quite what was meant by #Raven but I think she works for the #ChillingPhotoChallenge 😄

Time for a story!
This book wasn‘t in the database. #Ghostly #Chillingphotochallenge #TeamStoker @TheReadingMermaid

I wanted to love this book which claims to give the history of many Halloween symbols. Unfortunately I can‘t even recommend it. It jumps between myth & fact, places & times without real coherence. Some “facts” are thrown in seemingly for shock value (druids burning people alive in cages-in a kids book). And nowhere does she give any source material to back up her claims. I will give any other books in this series a hard pass #TeamStoker 6 pts

Someone thought my sitting on the floor to take a pic meant time for pets.
Another cute collection of shorts, honestly I probably wouldn‘t have found them scary even when I was younger. But enjoyable anyway #TeamStoker @TheReadingMermaid

This is the only #Orange book in my collection. #ChillingPhotoChallenge #TeamStoker @TheReadingMermaid
