My answers:
Favorite monster book: I don't actually read that many monster books; they aren't my forte, though I don't mind a few of them here and there. So if I had to pick . . . Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters by Jane Austen and Ben H. Winters.
(Ahem. I love Quirk Books . . .)
EDIT: I just remembered Rick Yancey's Monstrumologist series. Excellent, chilling books, those.
Costume: Not dressing up for Halloween this time around. I haven't in years. :P

What's your favorite monster movie or book? Are you dressing up this year, and if so, what as?

My favourite book has got to be my own Halloween novel, Thin Time. I shall be wrapped up like a snowman in a barn at a Halloween Fair selling the book and wishing I was somewhere warm! :0)
I still love the FRANKENSTEIN novel. Hard to pick one scary movie because I love them all so very much. 28 DAYS LATER ranks up there. And SHAUN OF THE DEAD.
Not dressing up this year. We'll see if I figure something out to take the kids on Monday. Not sure.
I don't do costumes anymore. The original Nightmare on Elm Street was creepy.
I'll be dressing up as a fashionista. That's pretty damn scary in my book!
Lx
What you are not dressing up? You need to lol I hate dressing up and really haven't since I was 10 or so :)
I don't read a lot of monster books, either. Um... Percy Jackson, I guess? I love quirky books, too. Yay whoever decided to mix monsters and regency!
I like the classics when it comes to monsters. I recently read The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mister Hyde again, and still found it brilliant.
Hello! (((((hugs)))))
It’s so awesome to visit your lovely blog today on this Halloween blog hop. I think this is an awesome opportunity to meet other authors!
My favorite monster movie is Night of the Living Dead and I’m dressing up as a mime. Mime is one of the most ancient forms of theatre, appearing around the time of the Greek tragedies. I hope to perfect the art and technique of portraying a mood, idea, or narration by gestures and bodily movements. The only problem is…that I have a big mouth! LOL. It’s so nice to meet you! I joined your blog. : ) Love it!

Loved the video. Very funny. "Tremors" is one of my favorite monster movies because of the funny dialog and the characters, especially Kevin Bacon's role.
I've read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, but I haven't read this one. Maybe I should give it a try :-)
Sense and sensibility and sea monsters. Oh my stars! LOL!
My favourite monster movie is Little Shop of Horrors!
Yay!
Take care

I just read Anna Dressed in Blood, which was excellent & very perfect for Halloween.
I'm dressing up as a snake this weekend and possibly a fairy on actual Halloween day. I've gotten more into dressing up now that I can buy my own costumes and know how to do make-up now. Haha. It makes it more interesting, and you can be more creative. That and I actually have places to go now.
My favorite Halloween movie is The Nightmare Before Christmas. I just love the music in it! And I've never read the Jane Austen and monsters mixture of books, but they've always looked hilarious to me.
Monsters, Inc. is my favorite monster movie . . . because I don't do scary movies all that well. And I'll be dressing up as Velma from Scooby Doo.
Happy Halloween Hop, Eagle - good to *meet* you! I haven't read this one yet, but loved "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" - what a great "repurposing" of stories ;)
I'm not dressing up either on Halloween but will be for the late celebrations in November...
Favourite horror boook/ movie?
None, i tend to steer clear of them these days-i'm a wimp!

Yes, I'm dressing up as a 50's diner girl this year! :)
Carole: I'm sure it's a great story. :)
I hope you enjoy the Fair, despite the cold!
Joshua: I've never heard of those movies before; I'll have to look them up!
Alex: I thought of you when I heard about someone dressing up as a ninja warrior for Halloween--thought they'd be a good recruit for your ninja army. ;)
Laura: LOL. Same here. :P
Hope you have fun as a fashionista!
Josh: I think that's about when I stopped, too.
Peggy: Percy Jackson is good! :)
LOL. They're great books.
L.G.: I've never read that book. I really should--I like the idea behind it, and this is the year I planned to read classics . . .
Chrissy: Thanks for coming by! :)
Belle: Glad you enjoyed the video!
I've never heard of Tremors before; though Kevin Bacon I know, since he's on PBS talking about Antiques Roadshow now and then. :P
Sarah: It's quite funny. :)
Old Kitty: It sounds like a great movie for Halloween!
Krispy: I love the idea of dressing up as a snake . . . and I'm sure you'll be a wonderful fairy. :) (Though if you're planning on the more sinister kind, I'm sure you'll be awesome at that, too!)
Cortney: They are. :)
Tyrean: I've never watched Scooby Doo, but it sounds like a fun costume!
Shelley: Welcome to The Eagle's Aerial Perspective!
LOL. I agree.
TTORIA: What will you be dressing up as? :)
Thank you so much for following!
Shelley: Sounds awesome. :)
Hehe, loved that little clip! Thanks for popping by my blog!

Read my Halloween Hop post HERE
ha ha! great combo!
and i joined the hop because of you =)
thanks!
I love Stephen King novels and Needful Things is my favorite but I think Pet Sematary is scarier. After all, who wouldn't be ready to scream if their dead and buried loved one would come back to life?
We don't celebrate Halloween so no costume for me. I may have picked a water creature costume though, as the city I live in is currently under threat of floods.
J.C.: Glad you enjoyed the video! :)
Tara: They do a good job with combining Jane Austen and contemporary monsters.
You're welcome! :)
Delia: I read Pet Sematary, but never got around to any other books by him. It is based on a rather creepy idea . . .
I hope you stay safe!
Penelope: A pirate sounds like fun. ;)
I'll be sure to swing by your blog!
I had a party a couple of years ago and went as Vegas Elvis which I am told was very scary.
never heard of that book but sounds great! lol
my favoritie book and movie: the shining
dressed up as a soldier because all the filipinos over here call foreigners joe as in GI Joe lol

jeremy
Paul: Vegas Elvis? There is something a little scary about that . . . LOL.
Jeremy: It is a good book.
Sounds like an interesting costume!
Thank you so much for hosting this bloghop. :)
