OK, with Halloween fast approaching and anyone with little ones having already ” Costume Issues” and the Halloween Candy being promoted since forever..lol, I thought we could talk about the scariest thing ever that happened to you on Halloween.
Being born and raised in Germany, we did not have Halloween. We have ” Fasching” which starts on Nov. 11th and ends on Ash Wednesday and is like Mardi Gras or the Carnival in Rio de Janeiro. So I actually did not get introduced to Halloween till I met my ex-husband.
Needless to say, I remember watching Poltergeist and Nightmare on Elm Street for the first time with friends and it scared the daylights out of me. Especially the second Poltergeist with the old Preacher , he just gave me the greeps. I mean Freddie looked good at that point..lol. But to make it worse, our friends thought it was so funny, they actually found a person that looked like that and introduced me one night to that person. I will never forget that moment, he had his back turned to me and as I said hi he turned around and I jumped about 5 feet in the air, and let out this horrible scream. Our friends thought it was hilarious and had the time of their lives with it, but I had the heebee jeebees all night.
The guy actually felt bad and apologized, but I still could not get over it. To this day I am not able to watch that Poltergeist movie because of it.
So let’s hear some of your stories or moments. Let’s get spooky…

Perfect topic for the season! Well believe it or not I haven’t had a *real* scare since I was a child. Looking back on it by today’s standards.. especially after seeing Poltergeist and Nightmare it’s really nothing but back then.. when I was … oh.. like 11 or 12… and I saw the first JAWS movie, I had nightmares about it for over a month!!! It’s a shame though, since then.. maybe since growing up a bit.. nothing has ever quite had the same frightening effect on me.. we.. maybe except for wife #2
