Dracula!

The bats have left the bell tower
The victims have been bled
Red velvet lines the black box
Bela Lugosi’s dead

And of course don’t forget The Count!

First up, The Classics

Nosferatu – the original scary vampire. Keep an eye out for his shadow…

Welcome to my 31 days of scary monsters and super creeps! For the month of October, I am featuring some of my favourite creepy characters (as well as some more benign creatures) from film and tv. I’ve broken them down into some general categories:

The classics
Creepy children/dolls/critters
Folks that make your skin crawl
The undead/supernatural

You may not want to view these in the dark…

As an added bonus, be sure to visit OrangeYouGlad every day.

Fun at work – see the rest

Man, I love me some Game of Thrones. Just hearing the theme song raises goosebumps! I cannot wait for the new season to start. Check out this video of some of the visual effects – be warned, there may be spoilers if you haven’t seen the series.

This weekend is the 3rd Lighthouse International Film Festival. Four of us from OrangeYouGlad (proud sponsors of the film festival) are heading down for a weekend of great films, wonderful folks, sun, and of course, tasty beverages! Be sure to say “hi” to us if you attend the festival!

and to think I was once a nuclear engineering major…

Why do the heating oil companies deliver their product at 3:30am, waking me up? I can hear their distinctive, noisy trucks criss-crossing the neighborhood, thus guaranteeing me to not fall back asleep. Well, that and the millions of thoughts running through my brain. Stupid, troubling thoughts.

Guess I’ll just stay up and watch the latest episode of Poker After Dark.
