As I mentioned in last week's post, as a mini-homage to the late, lamented Coffin Blog Hop, I'm doing a couple of Halloween-themed posts, including another round of horror movie trivia. As before, feel free to post your answers in the comments section. I'll post the correct answers in the comments section in a week or two.
Also, it looks like I might have another anthology acceptance. If things go well I'll be posting the details soon.
And of course, Happy Halloween!
