Be afraid... Be very afraid...

One of my favorite holidays is 5 days away...Halloween! For me, Halloween has always been about dressing up in a fun costume and going door to door for candy! As I got older, I still liked to dress up in silly costumes but I had to stop trick or treating. Apparently, you only get candy if you are a kid (insert sad face here). Nowadays I read and watch lots of horrors and give out candy to the kids that come to my door.

Below are some of my recommendations on some great Spooks for you to read and watch for Halloween. There are also some kid friendly recommendations! If you would like to suggest something for me, please do. I'd love to add more items on my "To Read" list!
