I have never written horror before but I got the idea for my flash fiction entry for
Horror at Hannah's last night while Handsome Hubby and I were watching The Crazies (which was actually a better movie than I thought it would be). My story really has nothing at all to do with the movie, so I'm not sure what about it triggered my idea. Weird what your subconscious picks up on. Anyway, now I just have to write the thing and see if I can actually pull off something decently scary.
In the meantime, here are a few pics to inspire your own scary stories...
eek...
Actual 1930's/40's Halloween costumes
Eastern State Penitentiary in PA. I haven't been there but they do tours and host
Terror Behind the Walls each year at Halloween. You pretty much could not pay me enough.

Those old costumes are freaking me out...
So nice to meet another teacher/mommy/writer! I'm using October as my inspiration to (hopefully) finish my MG ghost story. I really hope it works for both of us!
If you're still thinking Nano isn't going to work for you (points down a few posts), check out our "half-marathon" competition for busy parents like us. You might be interested.
