I am beginning to think we must be sharing a brain.:-)
That's totally what I love about Halloween too. For a while I would get kind of annoyed at the sillier aspects of Halloween because I really wanted it to be all about the eerie. But then I saw there's room for all of that--the chaos can be death or darkness or just anything at all.
There is definitely something special about the well-done creepy novel, I think. There's the pulpy stuff but the good stuff is hard. I've been thinking about ghosts recently and trying to somehow do an entry about them because they just puzzle me...
