- Here's a two-fer, I asked my wife to tell me something interesting about myself and she says "I don't know, you have a unibrow, you like Coke (the softdrink haha)." Yes that's how interesting my wife thinks I am.

11. I was mortally terrified by horror films and horror characters especially Freddy Krueger (long story) until I was about 12 (quite the coincidence seeing as how I later became obsessed with the genre)
Here are my answers to the 11 questions created by It Came from the Man Cave
1. What is your favorite horror host?
Elvira
(have to give a close second to Wolfman Mac another fellow neighbor from Detroit!)
2. If you only had 5 minutes to look at one website what would it be?
Lifehacker.com
3. Do you hold the door open for people? If no, why not?
Yes I hold the door open for people, however the amount of rude people that will not reciprocate or say thank you makes me not want to hold doors anymore
4. Marvel or DC?
DC by a mile, better heroes, WAYYYYYY better villians
5. Favorite Halloween Special
Oh boy, where to begin. Let's do it this way, as far as animated specials go, either The Halloween Tree or It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. For live action specials, I would say either the Home Improvement Halloween episodes, or the Roseanne Halloween specials. But honestly there are so many good ones in general.
6. Meat or Veggies?
Easy one, Meat
7. What was your first car?
1988 Chrysler LeBaron
8. Favorite movie of all time?
I am terrible with answering these single favorite questions. My faves are Scarface (Pacino version), Wizard of Oz, Shaun of the Dead, Halloween...... the list goes on. If I had to pick one, I would have to say Halloween (1978)
9. Zombies or Vampires?
Tough one, I love them both. If I had to pick one, I'd say zombies
10. What is your dream job?
Anything that would involve horror, the macabre, Halloween.... perhaps a writing job, a directing job, or even a creative consultant job for a Halloween haunt. (please contact me if you can offer me any of these jobs haha)
11. I think tattoos are gross, how many do you have?
0 - although I have some ideas (let's see what my wife thinks of these so-called ideas, haha)
Here are the 11 questions that you must answer for the winners of my Liebster Award
1. What is your favorite Halloween tradition/memory?
2. Halloween III - terrible or underrated?

Oh I can now breath a sigh of relief, as I see that you luckily bestowed an award upon me that I also had sitting on my computer for the last year, and JUST got around to posting a couple days ago. So, thank you so much for choosing me, and I am now going to consider myself exempt from completing the same task twice cause I think my existing one should count...don't you? Good....me too...because I just don't have enough interesting things about me to do it twice...ha!
But again, thank you so much. Seems we both collect Halloween books and love The Halloween Tree. Now that you have a little one, you can start collecting Children's Halloween Books too. I love them most of all, and have a big collection. My kids LOVE to read them during October...a family tradition! :o)
Thanks for the award! I appreciate it :)
Wolf man mac is great I would put him up on top as well! I was privileged to have RTV for a year. When Comcast pulled that channel I was so mad! I miss watching the whole crew at the Drive in. And If its OK to chime in Halloween 3 UNDERRATED!!
