Seeking scares
As an avid fan and self-proclaimed expert on horror movies and anything supernatural or scary, I love Halloween.

Today, people would look at me strangely if I played outside all day instead of doing work, or if I started putting rocks in my mouth again. Alas, these days are gone, like the memory of a spring breeze lost in the cold, cold winter.
To warm your hearts – or [...]
