I'm fundraising for Farley Month! The Farley Foundation helps low-income pet owners in Ontario by subsidizing the cost of urgent veterinary care for sick or injured pets. This is a cause that I'm deeply passionate about. With your help, this year’s fundraising will be a SCREAM! Will you make a donation?

Guest blog: The King of Goosebumps shares his top 5 Goosebumps books to get you in the Halloween spirit
My passion for Goosebumps books started in 1999 at the age of 7 when I got my first book called The Haunted Car. It was a big thing for mum and me growing up. My primary school didn't have the books in the library at the time I was there as they were too scary... pffft. So it became a weekly thing for mum and I, to go to our local store and buy each book until I had them all. My bedroom became every 90s' kid's dream Goosebumps themed room.
My 7 favorite Goosebumps books to read on Halloween
Reader beware, RL Stine will give you a scare!
It's no secret that I'm a huge fan of the master of horror; RL Stine. I am a collector of his works and I still enjoy re-reading his books. I have a tradition; every time the power goes out we break out some candles, a flashlight, and read from a Goosebumps book out loud. Goosebumps was my favorite childhood book series until I was old enough to graduate to the scarier Fear Street novels. My huge Goosebumps collection was then passed down to my younger sister when she was old enough, almost like an heirloom or a cherished family treasure. I remember the day I found out my mom had sold all of my Goosebumps books at a yard sale. I thought I’d never forgive her! What I loved the most about a Goosebumps book was the unexpected plot twist at the end. These incredible and imaginative stories helped shape my taste in literature for the rest of my life. Goosebumps allowed my imagination to flourish and taught me that there is nothing wrong with being a little weird.
It is very hard to pick my favourite RL Stine books, but some of them just scream Halloween. This is a list of my 5 favourite Goosebumps books to read on Halloween. These are some of the most spine-chilling, scariest stories in the series to revisit. Do you want to get into the Halloween spirit? Pick up one of these at your local used book store or on Amazon.

Horror
movie night: Vampire and blood sucker collection
A bat swoops down from the sky as you feel cold fingers
wrap around your neck one by one. His seductive gaze draws you in and hypnotizes
you, and you don’t realize his long fangs are sinking deep into your neck. What
is Halloween without a spooky vampire movie! This is a list of old and new
vampire horror films to scare the fangs off of you! Good or bad, these films
are just what vampire horror movie lovers crave and are full of blood for the
drinking. So toss Twilight out the window and see vampires as they were meant
to be seen- kings of the undead.
