Halloween Challenge – Vampire/Bat

Jennifer Nichole Wells has picked vampire/bat for her Halloween Challenge today which means that I must just say a word about my all-time favorite movie vampire, Dracula, as played by the charismatic Christopher Lee.  Just hearing his voice made me go weak at the knees!  I remember when I was in my early teens, my mother was horrified to find me engrossed in Bram Stoker’s thrilling novel.  Apparently she thought it wasn’t particularly nice reading material for a young girl but, as I explained to her, it was a classic, as was Christopher’s portrayal of the infamous vampire.

On a lighter note, I found these family-friendly vampires at Goebbert’s Pumpkin Farm the other day.  For more on Jennifer’s Halloween Challenge go to https://jennifernicholewells.com/2016/09/26/jnws-halloween-challenge-2/

Halloween Challenge – Haunted

While the inside of an old house can sometimes feel downright spooky, the outside very often gives an impression of being haunted, which is why I have chosen these images for Jennifer Nichole Wells’ Halloween Challenge today.  I sometimes imagine that if I look at them long enough I’ll see a ghostly face appear at the window.

The Dole Mansion in Crystal Lake, Illinois.

The Belvedere Mansion in Galena, Illinois.

The Mathias Ham House in Dubuque, Iowa.
