I was looking at the goodies on pinterest
and I found these gorgeous candy apples..
Black apples look elegant to me..
These bloody apples remind me of American Horror Story.
Perfect for a premier night party!
Look at how cute these are!!!
I'm so going to make these this year!!
Do you have any good candy/caramel apple recipes?
I'm excited for some movies to come out this year..
I like scary movies no matter what the release date is..
there's one that's supposed to come out this November 28.
It's called The Babadook.
This is the synopsis from Rotten Tomatoes:
Six
years after the violent death of her husband, Amelia is at a loss.
She
struggles to discipline her 'out of control' 6-year-old, Samuel, a son
she finds impossible to love. Samuel's dreams are plagued by a sinister
monster he believes is coming to kill them both.
When a disturbing
storybook called 'The Babadook' turns up at their
house, Samuel is convinced that the Babadook is the creature he's been
dreaming about.
His hallucinations spiral out of control and as he
becomes more unpredictable and violent, Amelia is genuinely frightened
by her son's behaviour.
But when Amelia begins to see glimpses of a
sinister presence all around her, it slowly dawns on her that the thing
Samuel has been warning her about may be real.
Here's another one called
As above so below...
This one came out August 29th
Miles of twisting catacombs lie beneath the streets of Paris, the
eternal home to countless souls.
When a team of explorers ventures into
the uncharted maze of bones, they uncover the secret of what this city
of the dead was meant to contain.
A journey into madness and terror,
As
Above, So Below reaches deep into the human psyche to reveal the
personal demons that come back to haunt us all
I believe if you are willingly a witness to terrible events
you open yourself up to even more horrors in life.
Years ago my parents knew of a person named Rudy.
He was a pretty nice person, on the surface.
He let his true colors show once and it was pretty much the end
of his time around here.
As far as I know he has since passed away.
Anyway...
He used to stop and talk to my parents if he happened
to see them working in their garden in the evenings.
One such time he began by asking
what my parents thought of
the supernatural..
If they believed in evil spirits or not.
He was terribly upset...
Without waiting for an answer
He told them this story.
He and two of his friends, along with his 23 year old son
were outside of his home one weekend..
they were having a couple of beers and talking about their week.
It was mid February so the sun was sinking in the sky pretty early..
It was twilight and they were about to head inside when he saw
something on the roof of a house about 6 doors down across the road.
It was dark and moving quickly...jumping from rooftop to rooftop.
Normally it would have been dismissed as a cat, it seemed to have four legs.
but it was very large..
The others noticed he sudden preoccupation and looked in the direction he was
looking...they all saw it.
One of them swore it was an ape, another asked if it could possibly be a large dog.
He said it would jump on a roof and stop briefly and look around then it would continue..
As It got closer and closer He wildly thought it was a lion that had escaped from the zoo.
It stopped directly on the house across the street and looked at them.
The sky was inky blue by now so they couldn't get a good look at it.
It was just a darker shape against a dark sky.
Suddenly it seemed to leap from that rooftop across the road to his rooftop.
But he said it did not jump, it flew.
They all scrambled to get indoors.
When his wife questioned them
(as they all crushed each other trying to get in the front door)
they didn't know what to say..
It sounded too ridiculous.
They hadn't had that much to drink either.
The next morning he got up on the roof and
looked around trying to find evidence of whatever had been up there.
He, of course found nothing out of the ordinary.
About a week later
Rudy and his wife were getting ready for bed..
He went to the kitchen locked the back door
and turned out the light.
As he walked back across the darkened room
he accidentally kicked their great Dane that was sleeping in the hall entry.
The dog growled low and threateningly & shifted it's position.
He was about to call out to the dog when he
suddenly got a very bad feeling.
Racing into the bedroom
and slamming the door closed had his wife
asking what the Hell was wrong this time..
turning to answer her he got a shock..
Their dog was asleep on the floor by the dresser.
After telling his story to my parents
my mother asked if he had seen or done anything
out of the ordinary lately.
This awful man confessed that he had witnessed
a murder, had in fact been invited to witness
the torture and murder of another human being.
My parents told this man that he needed
to fix the wrong that had been commited.
By church and by law.
Then they asked to please take his leave
as they wanted nothing to do with him.
They never spoke to him again,
and like I said I think he's since passed away.
It's been about thirty years.
Last week's give away winner is
Holly!!
That's it for this week my pretties.
May your autumn be blessed
with golden pumpkins
hot drinks and cool nights!!
