Happy Halloween!

October 31, 2018 By: Jason Bougger

 

Happy Halloween from WriteGoodBooks.com!

Hey it’s Halloween and we’ve got some great posts to share. First off, here’s the winning entry at the Theme of Absence Halloween Horror Flash Fiction Contest, The Empty by Joachim Heijnderman. Check it out, and I hope it scares you as much as it scared me! Next up, we’re posting the top two runners-up this year. Be sure to read Mrs. Blake’s Basement by Roy Dorman and A Bouquet of Skulls by David Henson.

I also posted a Quickie Movie Review of the new Halloween movie that you can read over at Theme of Absence, and you can catch up on all of the previous Halloween movies in last year’s Quick review of all ten previous movies.

My quick review of the 2018 Halloween sequel.

In a change of pace, to celebrate Halloween this year, I'm doing a quick movie review of all eight original Halloween movies, plus the two Rob Zombie remakes.

And finally, don’t forget to check out last week’s Five Links Friday for some great posts on writing horror.

The best horror-related articles about writing I read this week.

So I hope you enjoy the day, watch some scary movies, and eat lots of candy.

Happy Halloween!
