Well okay but I tell you now that I think Halloween is stupid. Just exactly what is it that people are celebrating? But just to not be a total party-pooper, peeper...my recommendation for your diabetes medicines are Metformin and Glipizide...a regimen of both twice daily.
Yet I used to like candy corn when I was young and stupider.
TODAY'S QUESTIONS
What was the scariest movie you ever saw?
Hell, I don't know. The Exorcist was scary! When I was little House on Haunted Hill was my favorite, For a fun thing to do you can find 'Tourist Trap', starring Chuck Connors & a bevy of babes. Good movie. Some of those Freddie's Nightmare/Elm Street movies were scary, too. Special today: what about Fryday the 13th, anyone?
What was the scariest book or story you ever read?
The Exorcist by William Blatty
Are there any movies you saw when you were young that scared the beejeezers out of you but which you now find are not scary at all?
House on Haunted Hill!
Have you ever seen a movie which others thought was scary but which you didn't find frightening?
Most of them weren't frightening much at all. The ones that were just gore should be burned.
Are you superstitious (e.g., believe in bad luck, good luck, omens, etc.)?
Yes
I have a friend who is always creeped out when a Friday the 13th comes along. Are you bothered by the number 13?
It's a nice number. Makes me want to bet on a horse!
BONUS QUESTIONS
Most people have at least one major fear or phobia. What's yours?
Heights...cities...ridiculous dangerous highways...concrete dividers on the road that go right up by your car.
The above question reminds me of a joke by Jerry Seinfeld. He said studies have revealed that many people's biggest fear is public speaking and their second biggest fear is death. Meaning, at a funeral those people would rather be in the casket than giving the eulogy.
Are you afraid of something now which didn't frighten you when you were a child?
I can't think of anything...
Do you believe there are ghosts or spirits among us?
Yes, I know for a fact that there are.
Have you ever visited a "haunted house" which someone set up for Halloween? Did you like it?
Nope!
EXTRA CREDIT Q'S
Have you ever been on a hayride? If so, was the wagon drawn by horses or by a tractor?
No, but holy mackerel, really...an 'effing tractor'? LMAO! Might as well ride the subway!
Have you ever sat with friends around a campfire and told, or listened to others tell, scary stories?
I don't think so.
What was your favorite costume you've ever worn for Halloween?
None, other than when I just fixed myself up different and many people thought I was a real good Jack Nicholson...(at a wonderful indoor/outdoor bar that used to be here.)
Do children trick-or-treat in your neighborhood?
I don't think so. More than half the kids here want ammo or crack.
If you plan to give out candy to trick-or-treaters, what kind of candy will you give them?
I'm diabetic and I eat more properly anyway, so all I have is Xanax and they're NOT getting my Tramadol.
Have you ever bought candy for trick-or-treaters that's something you really like and hoped you'd have some left over?
Nopey! I merely manipulate others to buy Reese's peanut butter cups (I'd love Junior Mints as well!)
Have a safe and fun Halloween, everybody. Don't eat too much candy and don't let the goblins get ya!
.
Thanks for the fun Halloween Edition of the Terrific Tuesday Questions, Pamorama!
Love and good health to you and all my friends here...please, please be good to some animals...please...
Scariest movie, I don't do scary movies.
Fear or phobia....I don't tell anyone what mine is!
I'm not one to believe in ghosts but used to live down the street from a cemetery and people in the neighborhood use to talk about weird stuff happening in their homes from time to time.
Have a happy Tuesday everyone...

TODAY'S QUESTIONS
What was the scariest movie you ever saw? Hmm. I'm thinking maybe Jaws, the first time I saw it. The scariest scene for me was when a diver swam up to a sunken boat and the face of a dead body floated up to the window. It startled the heck out of me. Oh, but then, The Shining had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. That's a very scary movie! REDRUM!
What was the scariest book or story you ever read? It's a tie between The Shining and Jurassic Park. The book, Jurassic Park, was very frightening and much better than the movie, as is often the case.
Are there any movies you saw when you were young that scared the beejeezers out of you but which you now find are not scary at all? Yes; lots. The old B&W horror flicks from the 40s and 50s, such as Dracula, Frankenstein and werewolf movies. The werewolf ones scared me most when I was a kid. Now I just laugh at them.
Have you ever seen a movie which others thought was scary but which you didn't find frightening? Yes; The Exorcist. When it first came out, I think marketing played a big role in the fright factor. People were supposedly fainting in theatre aisles because it was so frightening. They were scared before they even entered the theatre. When I went to see it, my date was terrified, as were many others in the audience, but I didn't think it was very scary. The book, which I read afterward, was much more frightening.
Are you superstitious (e.g., believe in bad luck, good luck, omens, etc.)? Not really, though I do make references and jokes sometimes about luck. Or, parroting my dad from years ago, when two bad events happen close together I'll say, "Things happen in threes. What's going to go wrong now?" But I don't really believe that.
I have a friend who is always creeped out when a Friday the 13th comes along. Are you bothered by the number 13? Nope. It just makes me more aware that I need to think of every day as a lucky day and treasure the moment.
BONUS QUESTIONS
Most people have at least one major fear or phobia. What's yours? I'm claustrophobic, but not to a debilitating degree. I have no problem on airplanes because of it, but I do get creeped out on elevators and use stairs when possible. If I'm in the middle of a long row of seats, such as in a theatre, I feel claustrophobic. I attended a symphony concert last Friday night and was in the middle of a row. I was uneasy for two hours. (Still immensely enjoyed the concert, though.)
The above question reminds me of a joke by Jerry Seinfeld. He said studies have revealed that many people's biggest fear is public speaking and their second biggest fear is death. Meaning, at a funeral those people would rather be in the casket than giving the eulogy.
Are you afraid of something now which didn't frighten you when you were a child? Yes. I'm just generally afraid of imminent terrorist attacks in the U.S. Before 9/11 I never gave a thought to anything like that. Since 9/11 I've had the feeling that we are all sitting ducks.
Do you believe there are ghosts or spirits among us? Yes, though I have yet to see or communicate with one. I think there are spirits on some level and I'm fine with that. I think of them as friendly spirits. Sort of like the mom at the beginning of the movie, Poltergeist. Early on, she thought it was really cool that spirits - or whatever - were moving things in the house. I approach such things with a positive attitude, assuming spirits or ghosts are here to help rather than harm us.
Have you ever visited a "haunted house" which someone set up for Halloween? Did you like it? Yes, I went to a few as a teen and young adult. I hate them because I don't like being surprised by things that jump out at me.
EXTRA CREDIT Q'S
Have you ever been on a hayride? Yepper. If so, was the wagon drawn by horses or by a tractor? I've been on both. When I was growing up, my family was friends with a few families that owned farms. They'd have hayrides and draw the wagons with their horses. As an adult, I've been on several hayrides when the wagons were drawn by tractors.
Have you ever sat with friends around a campfire and told, or listened to others tell, scary stories? Yes; we did that when I was a kid. As an adult, I've sat at many a campfire and heard many stories, but not scary stuff. Just real-life stories and jokes.
What was your favorite costume you've ever worn for Halloween? Super Girl, around 1978. I went to a party with my boyfriend and he went as Superman. We made a pretty cool pair that night.
Do children trick-or-treat in your neighborhood? Yes, but just a few. The past several years I've had from 6 to 12 trick-or-treaters. This year, I've decided to not hand out candy at home. Instead, I'm going to my boyfriend's house (1.7 mi away) to hand out candy with him there. This is his first Halloween in the house and his neighbors have told him that they get 200+ trick or treaters every year.
If you plan to give out candy to trick-or-treaters, what kind of candy will you give them? I have Nestle Crunch bars to give out.
Have you ever bought candy for trick-or-treaters that's something you really like and hoped you'd have some left over? Of course!
Have a safe and fun Halloween, everybody. Don't eat too much candy and don't let the goblins get ya! Booooooooooo! Yayyyyyyy!

What was the scariest book or story you ever read? Well, Phantoms really gave me the willies.

Well, I wasn't a small kid anymore, but the first time I saw 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' I left the theater shaking. Knowing it was based on a true story made it worse.
Have you ever seen a movie which others thought was scary but which you didn't find frightening? The Exorcist. It was creepy, alright, but it didn't frighten me.
Are you superstitious (e.g., believe in bad luck, good luck, omens, etc.)? Yes.

Most people have at least one major fear or phobia. What's yours?
Being old and poor. That kept me a workaholic for decades. The above question reminds me of a joke by Jerry Seinfeld.

Meaning, at a funeral those people would rather be in the casket than giving the eulogy. Are you afraid of something now which didn't frighten you when you were a child?
Cancer. Do you believe there are ghosts or spirits among us?
No. I think there's another explanation and they emanate from the living in a form of energy we do not understand. Have you ever visited a "haunted house" which someone set up for Halloween? Did you like it?
I took the teenage shorties to Hells Gate and Statesville two weekends ago. It was 70 degrees and the perfect night for it. We had a great time and both are amazing. EXTRA CREDIT Q'S

Happy Halloween dear ones. I have a few more things to do before the party. I lost a night last night. We went to this auction way on the North side of Chicago with a good friend to preview a rare Columbia Grafanola Deluxe. We drove an hour and a half to see it and discovered that it had been pulled from the auction. Rats. I also had another midnight mouse release run last night.
Location: The Circle City. Sometimes NE of Bagdad.
