Express Yourself: Scary Places (Wooooooo)

Happy Tuesday. :) The Cover Girls, aka Jackie @ Bouquet of Books and Dani @ Entertaining Interests provide these fun questions for us to get to know their readers a little better and vice versa. Feel free to join in and comment their posts with the link to yours.

This week, they ask: Where would be the scariest place to spend Halloween?

Anyone else live in a town or state that has an old, prominent family in it? Ours are the DuPonts, and my cousin got married in their Bellevue House (which was turned into a park by the DuPont children), which is a replica of James Madison's Montpelier. My sister saw a crawlspace in the women's bathroom. We saw a hidden door in the room where the ceremony was, and I was able to pull a piece of the fireplace's broken brick out to peek inside. I'm sure had I moved the rubble, there would've been a secret switch or something. We even took my mom up to the DuPont estate Wintherthur for her birthday last year (it's so big, it has its own zip code).

Old, scary houses, especially mansions, always bring old ghosts to mind (like the awesomely bad movie The Haunting). One day, I'm going to start writing a ghosts-in-the-mansion story, but it would need to be really original. lol

(Woooooooooooo)

Where do YOU think the scariest place to spend Halloween would be?

Express Yourself: Scary Stuff

Good day to you all!

Express Yourself is a meme created by Dani @ Entertaining Interests and Jackie @ Bouquet of Books with weekly questions participants can answer.

This week, they ask us: What is the scariest movie/book you have seen/read, or that you want to see/read?

I have been trying to prepare myself to see Insidious 2, but I don't think it's going to happen. lol This past year, my cousin decided she wanted to try to watch scary movies, and one of them was The Caller, a creepy movie about a woman calling from the past to the house where she had killed her husband. It started pretty slowly but ended up messing our minds completely up. lol

Express Yourself: Scary Movies

 

Welcome back to Express Yourself! This weekly meme is brought to us by Dani @ Entertaining Interests and Jackie @ Bouquet of Books, fun questions to answer weekly. This week they ask us what was the scariest movie we've seen or book we've read that made us unable to sleep.

Hands down, only one movie has terrified me into insomnia (and all the scary movies I've seen, that's saying a lot), and it was Orphan. For most of the movie, you KNOW something is wrong with this little girl, and when it's finally revealed...It messed me up. lol I was praying for most of the night to have good dreams.

If you haven't seen it and want to, I recommend it. It's an awesome movie.

Stop by the ladies' sites to find the list of other participants, and visit them throughout the week to see what they have to say.
