Halloween is around the corner! What are your favorite scary stories?
Some say on Halloween, the veil between the world of the living and the world of the dead is at its thinnest. This allows the spirits of that dark unknown place to more freely walk among us - making Halloween the spookiest time of year. Whether that is true or just a tradition, it's certain that the living are more focused on ghosts throughout October.

I love what youve done and I can see a market for it. But I just done see youre evaluation of the business. You have nothing proprietary, your ideas leave to many avenues for competition and nothing has a patent. Mabe Barbra cn help you, but Im out

Re: Halloween is around the corner! What are your favorite scary stories?
When I was a kid, I had a little trapline on the side of the mountain, and I looked after it religiously, spending countless hours up there.
There was this old road that paralleled it, and way up at the end of the road, at the very top of the mountain, were these people that lived there. All they wanted was to be left alone, but I would run into them once in a while, but I didn't know them very well.
One day, just before Halloween, I was in the bone yard on the farm, and the bank had given way exposing the skulls of pigs, cows, and even a few horses..which I thought was pretty cool.
Now as you may have guessed by now, I was a bit of a trouble maker,..so I collected all those skulls, impaled them on sticks, and stuck them in the mud next to that road....and there was quite a number of them, like maybe forty or so..
Thinking I was pretty clever, with my Halloween prank ...I just walked away, and never thought anything more of it..I mean they'd have to know it was me.
Right ?
About fourteen years later, I ran into one of the three guys that lived up there, in the small town below the mountain...
He brought up the story about how there were these skulls of sacrificed animals lining the road..and a large fire pit dug off in the bush...and how the skulls hadn't any bullet holes in the forheads...and how the sticks were all alder and hand cut.....the story went on for some time.
They had even called the RCMP...and a forensic team had come out to look at the sight, thinking they were dealing with an occult and its activities .
The Police told them to keep it quiet, and not inform the media. Being in the Bible belt of British Columbia, people would freak out a little, and they told them to not frequent the area more than they had too....and to report any further activity, or see if it escalated.
I suppose it would have been a little spooky driving down a dark rainforest road, and seeing dozens of animal skulls on the end of sticks ...it was very apparent, they had failed to see the humour in it.
I never told him it was just me as a kid, pulling a Halloween prank, because they figured they had it all solved....and it had turned into a bit of a freaky story that was being quietly passed around the hill people..and had been expanded on over the years..To this day , almost twenty years later,nobody really goes there, they are afraid of the whole area.
Man, was I ever a little shithead...

Scariest Movie!
There is one film that rises to the top -- or sinks to the bottom, depending on your vantage. It's a movie made for nothing, that started small and seeped into the culture like blood into a rug.
It's George Romero's "Night of the Living Dead."
There's a mistaken idea it's a "zombie" film. Back then, zombies meant undead slaves in Haiti, most of them harmless. Romero gave us ghouls that feed on human flesh -- and spread their contagion like a virus, a plague.
It was 1968: The height of 20th century American social upheaval: The Vietnam War seen every day on TV, race riots, the nuclear family fracturing.
"Night of the Living Dead" didn't happen in a vacuum. Romero poured that unrest into the film, which opens with a flag fluttering in a lonely cemetery, and ends with images that evoke a lynching.
The hero is black -- unprecedented in horror then. Duane Jones has a manner that's not unlike Sidney Poitier. He's one of seven trapped in a farmhouse, boarding up windows while ghouls amass outside.
Some scenes are clunky; the actors, variable (from excellent to amateur). But the gore is still shocking -- the blood runs shiny black in black-and-white. Romero's canted angles intensify the claustrophobia, the nightmarish absurdity. Brother attacks sister, child butchers mother.
"Night of the Living Dead" will always be there, like the old man in the cemetery, coming slowly but relentlessly, to feed on our nerves

I like the creepy stories that have a twist at the end that make them funny.
