It’s only a little over a week until Halloween. On Halloween night, I like to light the candle in the pumpkin, turn off the lights, and put on my favorite Halloween movies.
There
are tons of great ones out there to choose from, but here are 5 of my
favorites:
1. The Crow (1994)—One of my favorite movies of all time and probably the one I’ve watched the most. It’s so dark, yet so hopeful. Brandon Lee’s performance is incredible. Great cast and story, plenty of action, and one fantastic soundtrack.
2.
Underworld (2003)—Vampires and lycans are at war. Selene, a vampire warrior, makes the mistake of
falling in love with Michael, a human who is sought by werewolves for unknown
reasons.
3. Dracula Untold (2014)—A fresh look at the traditional Dracula story. I love this movie. I mean, what’s not to love about Luke Evans as Vlad Tepes, the prince who must become a monster feared by his own people in order to obtain the power needed to protect them.
4.
Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992)—As promised, this movie closely follows Stoker’s
version of Dracula. Great film. Gary Oldman plays a scary and seductive
Dracula.
5. Lost Boys (1987)—It’s hard to believe this movie is 30 years old, but it holds up. It’s one of my favorite vampire movies of all time. And the soundtrack is amazing.
I
know this is a top 5 list, but I have to mention Sleepy Hollow with Johnny Depp
(1999) and the Disney animated version (1949). I love them both. The animated
story is beautifully crafted. And while the Depp version of the story goes off
the rails near the end, I still enjoy it. And, of course, “It’s the Great
Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” is a show I have to watch every year.
However
you chose to celebrate, I hope you have a Spooktacular holiday! And if you’re
looking for a sexy vampire book to read, you might want to check out Burning
Ash, the latest release in my Forgotten Brotherhood series.
Happy
Halloween!
Burning Ash
Forgotten
Brotherhood, Book 3
No
one is more surprised than Asher, one of the oldest vampires on Earth, that
he's attracted to vamp hunter Jo Radcliffe. She's smart, a talented slayer, and
she's gorgeous. Something about her pulls at him, like no one ever has before.
For a man, whose name strikes fear in everyone––this is something new and
intriguing. And quite possibly deadly, if she discovers his secret.
Jo has two things in common with the handsome Asher––they are both slayers and
someone is messing with them in a very-much-trying-to-kill-them way. She's not
so happy about joining forces with a dude she doesn't know. But he's sexy as
hell and really good at his job as one of the Forgotten Brotherhood, whose
business it is to execute misbehaving paranormals.
She knows she's bait in a larger plot to harm Asher and the Brotherhood. And
there is nothing he won't do, no line he won't cross, to keep her safe––which
may be the weakness that destroys them both.
TEASER:
He
sauntered out of the dark and fully into the candlelight. The flames flickered
over his face, exposing a strong jaw, straight nose, and high forehead. His blond
hair was pulled back in a short tail at his nape. His skin was olive-toned or
tanned, hard to say. Piercing brown eyes stared at her.
Good
looking was much to tame. Handsome didn’t fit either. There was something
dangerous and predatory lurking beneath the surface. Primal. Compelling. Yeah,
that was it.
It
was time for her to leave.
