Halloween is Coming!

Been battling a cold the last few days, so haven't been very inspired to write. 
For today, I will take a cue from my banner above,
and share what I have been reading, writing, watching, listening to or doing lately.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Reading:


Currently reading the novelization of Halloween, by Curtis Richards.
Most of the book follows the movie plot, but there are some differences,
and some of them are jarring. I will do a post on how the book differs in the future.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Writing:

The only writing I have been doing is the blog posts for the Halloween Countdown.
Not sure I will participate in this year's NaNoWriMo.
Busy couple of months ahead and not sure I can fit that in, too.
Are you going to take part?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Watching:

I have been watching lots of horror films and Halloween specials
Some of the movies I have seen recently include:
Always great and always disturbing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A very early slasher film, to me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fun and silly and wonderful.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Never watched til this year and I loved it!
Fun and funny!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Been watching this on Syfy and enjoying it.
Love seeing the weird items he comes across.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Of course, most of my time is spent with AMC's FearFest.
Watched the Friday the 13th and Halloween marathons,
always like watching these, reminds me of when the films
were on TV and you had a sort of shared experience.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Listening:

Mostly listening to the movies as they play,
but I also have spent some time listening to my huge
Halloween playlist on iTunes.

One version of John Carpenter's classic Halloween theme I enjoy

Halloween Theme - Main Title by John Carpenter on Grooveshark

Love the child's voice-over of the Halloween season poem!
If you love the theme, listen to this version and tell me what you think.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Doing:

Besides fighting a cold/flu illness this week,
I have been working on some Halloween plastic canvas crafts.
Working a pair of eyeballs that I will post when finished.

Also doing some Jason Voorhees items for a commission.
Woohoo!

So, what have you been up to?
