Halloween Meme

Doug took my blogger-tag virginity and tagged me with this meme. I hope it was as good for him as it was for me. ;) 1. What's the scariest movie you've ever seen? The Shining. I saw this in college, and they played "The Postman Always Rings Twice" and "The Shining" in a Jack Nicholson double-feature. "The Shining" ended at midnight, and I walked home through uptown New Orleans. I was so scared, I walked in the middle of the street because I couldn't see into the shadows near the sidewalks. 2. What was your favorite Halloween Costume from childhood? When I was about 6, my mom made me a devil costume, all red fabric with a red hood with horns and a stuffed tail. 3. If you had an unlimited budget, what would your Fantasy Costume be for this Halloween? A real Scottish kilt with all the accessories. 4. When was the last time you went Trick Or Treating? Hmmm....must be middle school? Early 80's. 5. What's your favorite Halloween Candy? Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. 6. Tell us about a scary nightmare you had. I have a recurring nightmare that I get right before I get the flu or strep throat. It involves a giant ceiling fan, and I'm standing on the top of the main body of the fan, and the blades are spinning very fast, and there's a terrible wind. Then I wake up the next morning with a sore throat and body aches. I've had this dream about a half-dozen times in my life. 7. What is your Supernatural Fear? I'm not sure I have one. I have very little belief in the supernatural, so I'm able to rationalize away most of my fears. 8. What is your Creepy-Crawlie Fear? It's not so much a creey-crawlie, but a buzzing-flying: wasps, bees, hornets, and anything that looks like it might sting me. I'm never so ashamed as after a post-wasp freak-out. 9. Tell us about a time when you saw a ghost, or heard something go Bump in the night. I never have, but I would like to (see next question). 10. Would you ever stay in a real Haunted House overnight? Absolutely. I would love to meet a ghost and see what s/he is all about. 11. Are you a traditionalist (just a face) Jack O'Lantern Carver, or do you get really creative with your pumpkins? I'm not a very originally creative person, so I stick to the basics with my JoL's. 12. How much do you decorate your home for Halloween? Not at all. Although I love the history and legends behind Halloween, I hate the marketing and hype surrounding the holiday (and most other holidays, too). 13. What do you want on your Tombstone? "I'm here, I'm queer, I'm dead." Ok, maybe not.
