I wasn't feeling well Saturday, so I didn't get to post my Sat9 answers. I'll answer them in combo with this week's Sunday Stealing, since so many of you participate in both memes. Link up here if you want to join in Saturday 9 this weekend!
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
1) In this video, Michael Jackson is transformed into a "werecat," with fangs, claws, yellow eyes and whiskers. What monster or ghoul frightened you the most?
2) Michael sings that evil things that will be lurking "close to midnight." Where will you be at midnight tonight?
3) Horror movie icon Vincent Price does the voice over on "Thriller." What's your favorite scary movie?
4) Mr. Price's House of Wax, made in 1953, was one of the first 3D movies. What's the most recent 3D movie you saw?
7) According to Yahoo!, the most popular costume of Halloween 2014 was a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. Will you be in costume this Halloween? If not, who or what would you most like to dress up as?
8) When you went trick or treating as a kid, did you usually wear a store-bought costume, or was it DIY?
They were greeted with this assortment, but we didn't get too kids many this year. I'm trying to refrain from touching it. On the other hand, the Laffy Taffy has done me in this year!
Coming up Sunday Stealing!

Halloween Meme
Are you scared of bats?
Not at all. When I was in grad school, I found a tiny bat on the verge of death after smashing into my office's window. I tried to nurse him back to health, even contacting my former professor who studied bats, but he didn't make it. :(
When you were a kid, did you go out on Mischief Night? (Mischief Night is an informal holiday on which children and teens engage in pranks and minor vandalism. While its name and date vary from place to place, it is most commonly held near the end of October to coincide with the night before Halloween)
No, I never did anything like that, but we definitely were the recipients of it when I was growing up. Many a smashed pumpkin and some vandalism to some of our cars happened.
What is your favorite trick-or-treat candy?
Historically, it was chocolate and most notably Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. However, now that Candy Tax is paid to Daddy. Mom is trying to completely refrain. It's weight-gain season for me, and I don't wanna participate this year!
Have you ever seen a ghost?
No, and I don't believe I ever will.
The most memorable costume you ever wore?
Maybe this Angel/Devil costume I wore in 2012 to a concert and party afterward. I got a lot of attention there - not necessarily wanted!
Do you dress up on Halloween?
We tried to get into the fun of it, yes!
Any cooking or baking you do for Halloween?
I do if I have time, but this year and last year, I have not. These Halloween chocolate cat cookies were from 2013.
Have you ever been to The Haunted Mansion at Disneyland or Disneyworld?
Yes! We took the kids to Disneyworld for Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in 2006. Of course, we visited the Haunted Mansion during that event. Great fun!
Any element of the season you don’t like?
I hate rushing from Halloween to Thanksgiving to Christmas so quickly. I've seen Christmas trees and decorations in stores all this month, in October FPS! Sloooooow it down, retailers!
What is your favorite scary movie?
I do not like scary movies, Sam I Am! I'm too skeeeeered.
Do you cook the pumpkin seeds from your carved jack-o-lanterns?
Traditionally, yes, though not when we have done the now-too-commonplace Puking Pumpkin!
Are you intrigued by vampires?
Nah. Totally not my thing.
What is your favorite written work of horror fiction?
No! Just no. I tried to read Stephen King's The Shining when I was in high school, but I just couldn't get through it. I haven't read anything like that since.
What is your favorite work of science fiction/fantasy?
Fantasy and Sci-Fi are completely out of my wheelhouse, but I am enthralled with The Hunger Games series. I love, love, love it and can't wait for the last movie installment this month. Woo!
Who is your favorite monster?
Cookie Monster, duh!
What is your favorite Horror movie?
I've seen all of The Nightmare on Elm Street movies. I don't know if I could call those my favorite, but I don't have a whole lot to go on there.
What horror movie gives you the most chills?
When I was seven, right after my mother died, my dad had my sister and me watch The Children of the Corn. Um, no. Don't do that. #ParentingFail
What character from any horror film would you most like to play?
I wouldn't. Listen, this $#!t scares me! I'm chicken! Bring on the shiny, happy unicorns pooping Skittles and rainbows, okay?!!
Thanks for stopping by, y'all. Happy November!
Fin.
