Autumn Reading: Roald Dahl’s Book of Ghost Stories

Ghost Story

I’m going to make it quick tonight my friends. The cold weather is upon us as well as pumpkin spice and holiday cheer. Nothing improves the mood like a good ghost story. And who better to recommend a great ghost story than the incomparable Roald Dahl?

I picked up Roald Dahl’s Book of Ghost Stories years ago and it continues to be a favorite of mine. These stories run the gamut from creepy to weird to downright scary. It is said that Dahl read 749 stories in search of the best ones to include in this collection. In my opinion, he chose well.

Halloween Hangover Picdump

Good evening my beloved minions. Well, the hour has come and passed. I hope the tutorials and picture dumps provided inspiration and instruction to help you kick your Halloween up a notch or two.

But hey! Don’t go away now. There’s only 364 more days until next Halloween. If you weren’t planning for it today, then unlike me you failed to get two 5′ skeletons, several boxes of lights, 2 resin skulls, and a bag of bones at Walgreens for less than $50!

What a haul!

We aren’t going anywhere either. We here at Scarydad believe there’s a little bit of Halloween in every day and we’re going to help you find it. Stay tuned in the coming days for more tutorials, tips, tricks, and other ways to make your holidays more enjoyable.

Wednesday Picdump

Halloween

Hooray! Only one more week until Halloween! I cannot wait!

I got a slight dose of it at the celebration the other night. I also consumed way too much witches’ brew so that I was walking low the next several days, of which today is one. It’s been all I can do to bring you all the joy that is Scarydad each night. And for that, scissors and okra. Seriously.

Enjoy tonight’s picdump and sleep well my friends. Be sure to save your energy for next Wednesday. As always, if you like what you see, please leave a comment, like and share on Facebook or follow on Twitter. To submit your own photos email me at scarydad@scarydad.com

Videos to keep you from Sleeping

http://youtu.be/zk4JGKWSWbM

Good evening everyone. Wow, what a weekend! We made it through the first annual Scarydad Halloween Bash and boy was it fun! Only just now are the various potions and poisons I consumed beginning to wear off. My fangs are retracting as we speak but the sensitivity to light is still pretty intense. I believe this recovery may take a while.

But hey, I’m still here for you. Tonight we present some horror fodder to help you sleep a little better. Pay special attention to American Horror Story. This is a truly frightening show and I cannot wait for Wednesday night for the second episode.

Have fun!

Wednesday Picdump

Good evening my friends. I’m going to have to make it brief tonight. It’s been a very long day for old Scarydad and tomorrow looks to be similar.

“But Scarydad,” you say, “A day can be no longer than 24 hours. Your day can’t be any longer than anyone else’s!”

This is only partially true. Since the accident, however, I sometimes randomly experience days ranging between 27 and 42 and 1/2 hours. If today ends at midnight, it will have lasted nearly 34 hours. It’s weird, I know. I don’t get it either. However, I am still sleepy so I’m going to try to slumber for a time.

Good night.

Enjoy!

New Orleans Picdump

New Orleans

Ah, The Big Easy. What do I love the most? Is it the the music, the food, and the history? The architecture and the attitude? The weirdos and the voodoo?

I swear I never noticed the guy in the horse mask until I uploaded this picture. The answer is all of the above and everything else! 

I love this town!

Another Crazy N’awlins Story

Somehow much less evil than last time and I still got pretty creeped out.

Hello there Minions. As promised, I will share my recent experience in the wonderfully haunted city of New Orleans. This time something occurred that is scarier than any time before it and is so bizarre I’m still creeped out about it days later. So, first I will tell you a story and I promise you it is entirely true and in no way embellished. Then I will share with you pictures and descriptions of this awesome and awful place.
