Happy Hal­loween, every­one! Hope you all have a safe and spooky evening filled with tiny gob­lins, minute witches, short gyp­sies and Harry Potter.

Grow­ing up I’d have to say the char­ac­ter that encom­passes Hal­loween for me was none other than Freddy Krueger. To pre­vent Freddy from enter­ing my dreams when I was younger I actu­ally “befriended” him and thought this would remove me instantly from his list.

At night I’d brush my teeth and dis­cuss the day’s events with Freddy as if he were a school chum. Look­ing back I can’t fig­ure out who was creepier. Freddy or me? Hav­ing watched sev­eral of the Night­mare movies in recent times my opin­ion on the series has dra­mat­i­cally changed. As a kid I never picked up on the com­edy and thought Freddy to be creepy rather than a come­dian. His one-liners and occas­sional punch­lines light­ened up the rather grue­some content.

In related news, my buddy in the blog­ging world robot­johnny has posted a great Hal­loween list appro­pri­ately titled, Child­hood Frights. Check it out and if you feel like it add a cou­ple to the list.
