Title: A look Into My Obsession

Blog Entry: So, why do I love Halloween so much? It may come from that fateful Halloween 10 years ago when me and a few friends decided to throw the most kick ass Halloween party ever. But I've loved Halloween since childhood. I used to love dressing up and going Trick-or-Treating, carving Jack-O-Lanterns, and decorating the house. Even when it wasn't Halloween I was attracted to everything dark and creepy. I remember watching Unsolved Mysteries with bated breath whenever a ghost story was on, I used to spend my weekends watching Up All Night on USA with Gilbert Godfried and Rhonda Shears as they played so many campy horror movies, along with some cheesy 80's comedies, I spent my nights with Elvira, I hid under the covers while spying Tales From the Darkside, Alfred Hitchcock was a friend of mine, The Twilight Zone gave me chills, the Crypt Keeper kept me company too. I remember looking through Fangoria magazine while my mom stood in line at the grocery store, she'd never let me get it. I watched the Thriller video on its premiere and have never seen a better one since. I love everything Goth although not much of my wardrobe is black and I've never worn make-up, except eyeliner a few times but that was for Halloween. Tim Burton is my favorite director. Vincent Price and Johnny Depp are my favorite actors. And Edgar Allen Poe is my favorite author. I spent hours in the dark playing Resident Evil and Silent Hill alone. But I never realized I was a Halloween freak until that party 10 years ago. To answer the question. I guess some of us are just born with a certain propensity for the dark and macabre. Although to look at me you'd never know I was one.
