Trick or Tweet

Geto Boyz-My Mind's Playing Tricks On Me
Happy halloween, bloggers. Anything scary happen so far?
Me, I've been home, taking it easy. Later tonight I've got a good scary movie planned to frighten the missus (Session 9; an absolutely TERRiFYING movie) even if she is notoriously difficult to scare.
But I'm just saying, there's absolutely nothing wrong with a good scare now and then. And in the light of this I bring you nine ways to get your scare on.
1. Watch Nightmare On Elm Street. even though halloween is usually associated with axe murderers, indulge in the brain numbing terror of Freddy Kreuger. He is Psychotic, athletic and had blades for fingers. The good news is he can only get you when you sleep.
The bad news is you WILL sleep.
2. Listen to Michael Jackson's Thriller. one of the greatest songs of all time from the best selling album of all time. Filled with howls, shambling footsteps and THAT LAUGH at the end. Won't terrify you, but might scare you when you discover how hard it is to do those moves now that you're older.
3. Read some Stephen King. my favourite author hands down with high definition imagination. Allow me to suggest the novel 'Salem's Lot'. Great pacing, fantastic characters and Vampires like you've never seen them. Twilight this aint.
4. Type in the words '2012 phenomenon' in wikipedia and slowly freak out. Wonder if it's remotely true and prepare to see the movie when it hits cinemas on november 13.
5. Tune in to African Magic and catch a home video. stare in horror at the bad acting. Be terrified at the length of the movie. Be afraid of the fact that these movies increase every year. There is no escape.
6. Read any nigerian newspaper and notice the rising number of kidnappings. Be afraid that even a vulcaniser's son was kidnapped. Be amused that he had to pay 30k to get his son back. True story.
7. If you haven't done one in the last ten years, do an HIV test.
8. This is a good one - wait till everyone goes to bed then watch the movie Dawn Of The Dead (2004). Turn the volume up.
9. Listen to news on Swine Flu. Wonder. What. Happens. If. It. Gets. Here.
