Favorite Spooky Movie/Book/Game?

Bobby Steurer

Hello all and hope the last quarter of the calendar year is going well for you.

Hey, what's your favorite scary movie/book/game/etc.?

Think mine's always going to be Scream for sentimental reasons. I also really like Trick 'r Treat.

Crystal Bruce

@Bobby Steurer I have a lot of favorites in this genre, but to try and narrow it down:

Book/stories: The Shining, Phantoms, The Mist, The Stand, The Strain

Series: Anything Mike Flannagan does, but specifically The Haunting of Hill House, Six Feet Under

@Bobby Steurer I love Phantom of the Opera (the book and the musical) and Frankenstein!

Marie Stark

@Bobby Steurer I like the Ghost and Mr. Chicken.

Vicky Lopuchowycz

@Bobby Steurer - I'll always be a Hocus Pocus and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow fan.

Tineke Hage

@Bobby Steurer favorite scary movie is Wait Until Dark and tv show is Evil

Books - anything by Stephen King

Kara Johnston

@Marie Stark this was my Mom's favorite movie! She made all my kids watch it - such a classic. ?

Carrie Powell

@Bobby Steurer, I try to avoid scary things, but this year, I did read my first Stephen King book, Carrie (everyone's asked me if I liked the movie my whole life. While I don't think I will ever watch a movie version, I did enjoy the book. (My daughter's name is Margaret, so there was a bit of a role reversal, though I hope I'm nowhere near as horrible of a mother as Carrie's was!)

@Carrie Powell King's books have been very hit-or-miss when translated to film. The good ones are all-time classics and the bad ones are laughably silly. The original Carrie is really worth seeing, and honestly pretty scare-friendly.

@Christine Robertson I've always thought of Phantom as a dark romance (between Christine and the Phantom), but I guess it really is a scary story. :-) I love it either way!

@Bobby Steurer I remember being most frightened by Poltergeist (the movie) when I was a kid. Stephen King's Pet Sematary freaked me out so much when I read it as a teen-ager that I would put the book outside my bedroom door before going to sleep. ?

@Bobby Steurer
Not so much a game but a thing to do! Where we live has, The Tale of the Blue Dog. It is a ghost dog legend. Well close by to the farm where this all happened is a Restaurant called the Blue Dog Saloon where we like to eat. Sightings of the blue dog have been reported in the area for centuries. Look it up: The Blue Dog Legend of Port Tobacco

@Adrienne Baumann It's definitely a creepy romance at best…
