I've been tagged with a meme via email by the wonderful T.F. Stern.
1. What's the scariest movie you've ever seen?
The Exorcist - that one still creeps the bejeepers out of me. And the first time I saw the Ring. I had trouble sleeping after that one for... seven days!
2. 2. What was your favorite Halloween Costume from childhood, and adulthood?
My Miss Universe 2000 costume was my favorite. It's too bad I had to wear a freakin' winter parka over it that year. (there was six inches of snow and it was still falling when we were trick or treating...) Maybe it should have been Miss Alaska 2000. No favorites from adulthood. Yet.
3. If you had an unlimited budget, what would your Fantasy Costume be for this Halloween?
Some sort of Princess from the Victorian era. Just like those dresses.
4. When was the last time you went Trick Or Treating?
Last time? You mean I was supposed to stop?
5. What's your favorite Halloween Candy?
I always loved the cheap waxed bottles, sugar dots on paper kind of candy.
6. Tell us about a scary nightmare you had.
Zombies... all the time the freakin' zombies. Freud, I am sure, would have a field day with me. Oh, and alligators too - sometimes both at the same time. Running from zombies to jump in alligator infested water.
7. What is your Supernatural Fear?
Evil spirit messing with me while I am trying to sleep.
8. What is your Creepy-Crawlie Fear?
Spiders... agree with TF on this, they bother me massively. Especially when I am watching TV and one starts weaving a little web on my glasses (true story).
9. Tell us about a time when you saw a ghost, or heard something go Bump in the night.
One night when I was in college, I heard knocking coming from under my bed. I looked under it trying to figure out what it was and there was my Ouija board - which I had put on the top shelf of my closet that night.
10. Would you ever stay in a real Haunted House overnight?
I'm not sure. I'd like too, but I'm afraid that I would run out screaming like a wee lass if I actually ran into anything really freaky.
11. Are you a traditionalist (just a face) Jack O'Lantern Carver, or do you get really creative with your pumpkins?
I would love to get creative but I am too lazy to even carve a pumpkin.
12. How much do you decorate your home for Halloween?
Not much. I have these skeletons that you can stake in your lawn, and have lights for their eyes, but I have no outdoor outlet to plug them in.
13. What do you want on your Tombstone?
Brought joy to many, trouble to few... (best I could come up with on a Saturday morning with only one cup of coffee...)
Way to go and thanks for taking the challenge.
My back actually went out once while I was home alone watching Aracnophobia; spiders, eeyyuk!

Posted by: Ethne at October 25, 2006 07:23 AMThere's actually very little that scares me. It drives my son crazy trying to scare and I won't even flinch. Other people at work have tried with plastic mice in my desk drawer or throwing/dangling spiders. Nada.
A family member once tried hiding in a closet in a scary costume and jumped out of a closet, everyone else screamed and jumped but me. I was laughing so hard at everyone else being scared out of their minds that I almost had an accident.
Nope, sigh! not me.
Posted by: michele at October 25, 2006 03:35 PMSee, on that, I am my own worst enemy. I let my imagination run wild (particularly at 3AM - which I always wake up at). It's amazing I haven't given myself a heart attack. Go you!
