Happy Halloween Readers,
Halloween is just around the corner we are less than a
week away dear Readers. The closer we get to Halloween the more I love the
thrill of a good scare. My allergy disorder is going a little haywire at the moment,
and I don’t think I’m going to get to go to any big Halloween events this year
such as scare fest. While horror movies
are a staple of spooky season, I forget every year that there are a number of
my favourite horror films that started as books. This year I thought I would
share some of my favourite Halloween films that began as books.

Synopsis: In eerie, post-World War II Venice on All
Hallows' Eve, Hercule Poirot is now retired and living in self-imposed exile in
the world's most glamorous city. But when Poirot reluctantly attends a séance
at a decaying, haunted palazzo, one of the guests is murdered, thrusting the
detective into a sinister world of shadows and secrets.
Synopsis: Every fall in a small Midwestern town, a supernatural Specter named "Sawtooth Jack" arises from the cornfields and approaches the town's church, where violent gangs of young boys hungrily await their chance to confront the legendary nightmare in an annual harvest rite of life and death. Richie Shepard lives in the shadow of his big brother who won last year's "October Prize" to get his ticket out of town. To prove himself and join his brother, Richie pairs up with restless dreamer Kelly Haines, who will do whatever it takes to escape this dead-end town. Against the rules and the odds, Richie and Kelly decide to hunt down the legendary nightmare to win the Run and their freedom, together.
Synopsis: In a series of flashbacks, confused psychiatrist Dr Elizabeth Derby recounts the terrifying story of her downfall to her best friend and colleague, Dr Daniella Upton. It all started when Elizabeth had an unannounced visit by distressed teenager Asa, who kept insisting that there's more to his abusive father than meets the eye. Genuinely concerned about the young man's mental health, Dr Derby delved deeper and deeper into the strange case of multiple personality disorder, only to drift apart from her family. And the more Elizabeth exposed herself to Asa's mysterious horrors, the more she questioned her sanity. But if the thing in Asa's mind is real, what good is science when you're suitable flesh?
I Know What You Did Last Summer by Lois Duncan
Synopsis: When four friends accidentally hit and kill a man on a road at night, they start to panic and decide to dump the body into the sea. A year later, they all try to settle down again, but one of the friends receives a note in the post, with the words 'I know what you did last summer'. As each of the friends gains their own reminder, they finally accept the one thing they feared the most; someone knows what happened that night, and now they're out for revenge.
