I get most all of my memes from my friend John. Nobody sends me this stuff and he does them all the time so I just copy him. :)

1. What is your favorite written work of horror fiction?

I read The Shining recently and wasn’t impressed. A few years back I read a Dean Koonts and moderately enjoyed it. I’m not a big fan of horror fiction, but I think Ted Dekker’s recent novels might be classified as such.

2. What is your favorite work of science fiction/fantasy?

I named my daughter “Gillian,” does that give you a clue?

3. Who is your favorite monster?

T-Rex from Jurassic Park.

4. What is your favorite Horror movie?

Does Pitch Black qualify? If not, I love Nightmare on Elm Street, the original Halloween movies, and all the Final Destination flicks.

5. What horror movie gives you the most chills?

The Ring.

6. What character from any horror film would you most like to play?

Death from Final Destination. You never see him, but you know he’s after you.

7. Freddy or Jason?

Freddy has personality. Jason is just a big oaf with a machete

8. What is your favorite Halloween treat?

Candy.

9. Ghosts or goblins?

Ghosts. Everyone knows there is no such thing as goblins.

10. Friendly-faced jack-o’-lantern or scary one?

I never could carve them. They always came out a cross between elephant man and pumpkin pie.

11. What is your scariest encounter with the paranormal?

Back when I was a young network executive I was visited by three ghosts. Oh wait, that was a movie.

12. Do you believe in ghosts? Why or why not?

Sure, but probably not in the way you may think about them.

13. Would you rather be a zombie, alien, or psycho?

Alien. They have the best technology and get to meet Will Smith.

14. Favorite Halloween costume?

I dressed as a doctor once. I bought scrubs and splattered blood on them. People kept asking me if I was really a doctor. Sigh.

15. Best thing about Halloween?

Candy.

16. Person in your family who most likes Halloween (not counting yourself)?

Probably my youngest kiddies, Aidan and Gillian. They still love to dress up, and not just on Halloween.

17. Are you superstitious?

Generally no, but let’s just hope me saying that doesn’t jinx my good luck.

18. Share an unusual Halloween story.

How’s this for unusual: Ever couple of years I choose not to participate in trick or treating, so I’ll turn off the lights and watch TV in the dark so I’m not bothered.

19. What did you do for Halloween as a kid?

Generally went to the school Halloween festival.

20. What’s the best Halloween party that you’ve attended?

Haven’t been to many great ones. I just like the candy.
