My Top 5 Favorite Goosebumps Books!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

I am a huge book nerd as you can see in my In The Racks series. Of course my love of reading goes back way before this blog! When I was younger, I couldn't get my hands on enough of the Goosebumps series! I even wrote a fan letter to R.L. Stine and a picture of me with all my Goosebumps books {I should try to find that for you!}. He is the master at a cliffhanger chapter ending! I never wanted to stop reading!

Horror and I have a weird relationship. I love it, yet it scares me to death, and I like it, kind of. Weird yes, healthy no, fun YES! So with Goosebumps I can get my slight scare on and still sleep with the lights out!  Here are my five favorites!

5.  The Haunted Mask - I am super claustrophobic so this totally played into my fears!

4.  Say Cheese and Die! - As a photographer I found anything on the subject fascinating.

3.  A Night in Terror Tower - My love of the times of yore began.

2.  The Cuckoo Clock of Doom - Me + time travel = squeeeee!

1.  One Day At Horrorland -  My top pick because the rides sounded awesome and who doesn't love an amusement park?!

13 Halloween Episodes To DIE LOLing Over!

Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas are such fun times of the year! But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Halloween is first and here are some of my favorite TV episodes to get you in the mood. Some are scary, some are silly and some are just plain fun!  

1. Psych - This Episode Sucks Season {S6 Ep3}. I became a huge Psych-O SDCC and this episode is one of my most favorites. Vampires and laughs!

2. Chuck - Chuck vs the Sandworm {S1 Ep6}. Chuck will always hold a special place in my heart. This show made me more nerdy! I love all the costumes and Star Wars references!

3. Castle - Vampire Weekend {S2 Ep 6}. Nathan Fillion dressed as a "space cowboy," need I say more?!

4. The Office - Halloween {S2 Ep5}. This is a show that knows how to do a Halloween episode. Funny costumes and characters. An Office classic.  

5. Dexter - Dexter {S1 Ep1}. A great place to start your Dexter journey. Great mood and set up to an amazing show.

6. Goosebumps - One Day at Horrorland {S3 Ep 6&7}. My favorite of the Goosebumps books! Now the entire series is available on Netflix.  Can you say marathon?! 

7. Community - Horror Fiction in Seven Spooky Steps {S3 Ep5}. Season three is where the show really starts to get amazing. This episode is perfect. One of my top favorites and a great way to get into this amazing show.

8. Simpsons - Treehouse of Horror: Lisa, Bart and Homer's nightmares {S2}. I find that the earlier Treehouse of Horrors are the best. Maybe because I was younger when they were beginning to come out and their scary factor was more real to me. 

9. The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. A classic that will never die!

10. The Walking Dead - Days Gone Bye {S1 Ep1}. SO happy to have this show back on, but this first episode sets up an amazing series and could be a movie all it's own.

11. Home Improvement - Haunting of the Taylor House {S2 Ep6}. Home Improvement was such a fun family show, they just don't make them like this anymore. I wish all TV shows could do Halloween episodes that last!

12. Are You Afraid of the Dark - The Tale of the Nightly Neighbors {S1 Ep8}. Where my fascination with vampires began!

13. Glee - The Rocky Horror Glee Show {S2 Ep5}. Great music and wonderful performances. I don't watch Glee anymore, but I still enjoy their music!
