Halloween is Almost Here


It’s only a little over a week until all the kids are out trick-or-treating. 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.


Halloween is also a great time to read a paranormal book. If you’re looking for one, be sure to check out Eternal Brothers, book four of the Dalakis Passion vampire series.
 
ETERNAL BROTHERS
 
When an anonymous late-night tip sends reporter Sophia Daring to the cemetery, she isn't prepared for what she find there---a grisly murder scene and the body of a woman completely drained of blood. Sophia's never been scared off a story before, but his time all the clues point to one disturbing conclusion: this was the work of the mysterious and dangerous Dalakis brothers. And just as unsettling for the fiercely independent Sophia is the irresistible pull of the stranger also working the case, the sensually compelling Zane York.
 
A ex-cop, Zane has made it his personal mission to prove that the secretive Dalakis family are powerful vampires and ruthless killers. But when his investigation takes him to New Orleans and their latest victim, he begins to suspect that the Dalakis are being framed by an enemy as dark and mysterious as they are. And even as he struggles with his doubts about the family, there's no doubt about his hungry response to the hauntingly beautiful Sophia. He knows he must make her his own, whatever the cost.
 
As the smoldering chemistry between Sophia and Zane ignites in a delirious haze of passion, they will find themselves immersed in the Dalakis family secrets and the trail of murder that leads to their door. And as their fears and suspicions war with an unquenchable desire, she and Zane will discover that a secret from the past may pose the deadliest threat yet...
 
This is a revised edition of a previously published book.

HALLOWEEN MADNESS

Halloween is my favorite time of year. I start planning for it on November 1st. I live to scare the crap out of the neighborhood kids with my scary, gory decorations. It builds their character.

This month I thought I'd do something fun by posting a few costumes I think are awesome. All of them were found on Pinterest, the site where I can spend hours upon hours doing "research." (ahem)

I'm not exactly sure how one walks around in this baby without tripping, but kudos for originality.


How cool is this rain cloud?!


Perfect costumes for siblings!


If you're a Halloween dork like me, you dress the dog to go trick or treating.


HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!
