13 Days of Halloween: Movies

Image
The Humor of it All:  I am not a fan of scary movies. Well to be honest I really, really don’t like watching them. I know I can’t be the only one out there, so I compiled a list of some of the more funny Halloween movies out there. Some are classics, some are cult classics and some are just classically bad…. Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein - Two hapless freight handlers find themselves encountering Dracula, the Frankenstein Monster and the Wolf Man. Personally I have never seen this one, but everyone instantly named this one as a classic must see Halloween movie. Shaun of the Dead - A man decides to turn his moribund life around by winning back his ex-girlfriend, reconciling his relationship with his mother, and dealing with an entire community that has returned from the dead to eat the living. With the love of all things zombie out there how can you go wrong with this one. Definitely classified as cult classic. Ernest Scared Stupid - After a ...

One of the most common types of shifters is the Wolf. They are just sexy and let’s face wolves are just gorgeous creatures. There are tons and tons of Wolf shifter books out there.

I’m not sure about you, but when I think of Halloween the three things that pop in to my head are Candy, Wolves and Vampires. I picture a full moon (yes, I re...

13 Days of Halloween: Shifters

Image
The 13 Days of Halloween continues with Shifters and because there are so many different shifters we are splitting it up into two days. Today we are going to be talking about the cat shifters, bear shifters, dragon shifters and all the other kind of shifters that our favorite writers have come up with. From Barb: I have recently developed a fondness for bear shifters.  Hazel Gower has one of my favorite series currently. Not only are they bear shifters but it is also a menage!! I became a fan the moment I first read Theirs I was hooked. Who knew bear shifters could be so hot? Susie goes to gym to lose weight and hires a hot personal trainer she doesn’t realize is a bear shifter. Brian is a co-owner of Healthy Bodies and his mate has just walked through the door looking for a personal trainer. He knows he is the right bear for the job. The only problem is, he's not Susie’s only mate. His brother Blake is in the running too. Can they learn to share? They must convin...

Sheri: The Loch Ness Monster or Nessie When I was back in high school, we actually got to take a trip from Florida to Scotland with my high school band. We took a special trip up to Loch Ness to see if we could see/find Nessie. There is an awesome gift shop/museum right beside the loch. That’s about as close to seeing her as we got. The locals we all met swore to us it’s real and not a hoax. I can’t say one way or another, but I can say 21 years later I still haven’t forgotten that trip to hunt Nessie down. No one knows exactly what Nessie looks like. The sighting are numerous, and the story continues to grow. Most accounts of the Nessie’s appearance, including historical ones, indicate a creature resembling the long-extinct plesiosaur. Actual fossil evidence for this creature shows it to have been physically large, with a long neck and tiny head, with flippers for propulsion. Here is just one of the 100’s of photo’s you can find on the internet of “Nessie” ...
