Wintery chills leave me cold.

Wanna see something really scary?

This photo of my back yard was taken in October, 2009. So far this year, we’ve not had any snow – which is a blessing.

But I can smell it coming.

There are some truly creepy, winter-set, horror films out there.

(Do you like that? Now I’m making up hyphenated adjectives. NaBloPoMo is wearing on me.)

These come to mind:

• The Shining (1980)
• Let the Right One In (2008)
• 30 Days of Night (2007)
• Misery (1990)
• The Thing (1951 AND 1982)

Thank God I remember them very well, because these is zero chance I will re-watch any of them in the next few weeks as I prepare my 13 creepy movies list. I can barely force myself to watch them in July.

(Did I mention that it’s starting to get cold here in Minnesota? And that I’m not thrilled about it?)

Time for a hot bath.
