31 DAYS OF CREEPY
Time for Sweaters, Shivers, and All Things Ghoulish
October is finally here. It's time to pull sweaters out of storage and get ready for a month of shivers and all things ghoulish. Autumn's crisp breath will whisper a dreaded prophecy of summer's death while it rustles blood-red leaves overhead. With a climactic gust, their spines break and they float down to join their...

Happy Halloween, Wild Riders. Let the Wild Rumpus Begin…
Happy Halloween, Wild Riders! Let the Wild Rumpus begin. This is one of my favorite holidays. As I write this, I'm watching The Prophecy with Christopher Walken. So creepy! I love it.

31 Days…
31 days. Slanted October light slices through the trees, casting shadows that creep across the withered landscape. Trees groan when wind claws brittle leaves from their branches.

Ghost Walk
I love the spooky month of October. Shadows creep across the path as days grow short. The groan of wind through desiccating leaves sends a death rattle from above. It swoops down and slides its skeletal fingers along my backbone. I pull my sweater tight. By signing up for a Haunted Tour of Breckenridge, I... Continue Reading →
I Fear it’s Time
October is fright fest movie month. Even though vampires, witches, zombies and ghosts don’t exist (Wait. I believe in ghosts!), many of us will sit on the edge of our seats, spellbound with pulses racing. We will be held tight by the tension created in these movies. Foreshadowing is a literary device used also in film, to... Continue Reading →
