This is another of what I like to call a demi-post. I did one a while back as an opportunity to get on my soapbox and talk about voting. Today I’m using one to revisit what I promised several weeks ago. So stow the pillory, for now at least. The ghost story is done...after a fashion. The arc is complete, the pieces are there, but I don’t think it’s quite finished yet. I’ll likely continue to tinker with it before I seek to formally publish it, but for those of you who want a spooky read, enjoy. It is November 2nd, and I’m proud to say I’ve managed to watch my 31 horror movies in 31 days for the second time since I started attempting this. I always try to watch as many new ones as possible, but I end up revisiting a few old favorites every year, and I always conclude the same way: on Halloween night, I watch Theater of Blood. There were a number of good new ones this year, including some indie films that I’d never heard of before watching them. I think overall this was the best year, ranking-wise. My top five are as follows:
Hope you had a Happy and Spooky Halloween, my friends! Until next year! ...with the spookiness, that is. I promise to post before then. -NG

I just finished “The Haunting of Jonathan Jones.” Such a gripping read! You definitely have a gift for storytelling.

Thank you! I've worked in old buildings myself; they definitely have that effect on your imagination.

I can assume that you are a cool person because your choices of films are lit! I've watched The Blackcoat’s Daughter and The Alchemist Cookbook; both films pleased me really well and I never thought that those films were great. Perhaps, they exceeded my expectation that's why I was so impressed by the overall production of both films. Actually, making a horror film nowadays is pretty hard for film makers because the standards are higher that how it was before. The challenge for them is to reach or even exceed it!
