Hello and welcome to the Halloween Scare Trail Blog Hop!
Is this event great or what? Fifteen authors offering
fifteen prizes. Talk about spooktacular! For those who aren't familiar with me I'll take just a second to introduce myself...
I’ve always loved Halloween, even as a child it was my favorite holiday. Partly because of the candy, but also because of the awesome horror movies they’d play on TV leading up to Halloween. There were all those old classic films such as The Mummy, Dracula, The Creature from the Black Lagoon, and my all-time top monster, The Wolfman played by Lon Chaney Jr.! There was always some kind of fascination for me with people who could shift into animals even way back when.
I live in the mountains
of Pennsylvania on a small hobby farm with my husband of 27 years, my daughter,
one dog, two cats, two Jersey steers, a flock of chickens, and a pair of geese.
When I’m not writing I can be found watching hockey – LET’S GO RANGERS!! –
geeking out over Dr. Who and Torchwood, reading Marvel comics, doing yoga, and
drinking coffee.
I write under the
super-secret (it’s not at all secret everyone and their llama knows who I am)
penname V.L. Locey and my books are predominately MM hockey because it’s
the genre of my heart, but I do dabble in non-sporty contemporary books as well
as paranormal MM romance.
Isn't this time of year the perfect segue into a monster movie/paranormal romance chat?

There was always some kind of fascination for me with people who could shift into animals even way back when.
I still carry that love of shapeshifters with me and was thrilled
to be able to pen a short series of MM shifter novellas later in life. My Lake
Erie shifter novellas have been a wonderful excursion from my usual hockey
romances. They’re full of magical beings such as skunk and wolf shifters,
witches, elves, vampires, and evil mages called the Elder Council. If you’re a
fan of MM paranormal romance, feel free to check out “An Erie Collection”, available
now on all major book retailers sites—
You can now have all four
of the Lake Erie pack novellas in this one reasonably priced collection!
Included in the set are the previously released novellas: An Erie Halloween, An
Erie Operetta, and An Erie Garden Party. To round off this whimsical and
romantic shifter set is a brand-new novella, An Erie Uprising!
It’s been one wonderfully
romantic year since skunk shifter Templeton Reed met Mikel Lupei, the alpha
wolf of the Lake Erie pack. During that year, the two men fell in love and
worked side-by-side to solve some tricky murder mysteries. They also opened up
Lupei Manor, Mikel’s familial home, to other LGBTQ mystical beings in the Erie
area. Sadly, being gay in the supernatural world Templeton and Mikel live in
can be a death sentence.
During the past year, the
magical world has slowly been coming unraveled. Civil unrest now runs rampant
through the community as the lesser breeds revolt against the hateful dictates
of the Elder Council. The uprising will surely touch every person residing in
the magical world near Lake Erie. Will the flames of unrest and war consume
everything and everyone Templeton and Mikel hold dear as well?

Favorite monster movies would have to be the underworld saga! Selene is such a badass! Thanks Ms. Locey for the chance, Vic and Dan are my favorites!
If monster movie, I like Jurassic Park series, Monster Inc, Hotel Transylvania 1-3 and if How to train a dragon is counted then it is included. Thanks.

I love the Sanderson sisters Winnie, Mary and Sarah.
Monster movie? Easy! I'm going with the original Dracula, wich set me on the path to reading paranormal books. Though if there is a monster movie I've watched over and over again, it has to be Van Helsing ;)
P.s.: I read one of the comments already posted, and I gotta say I agree: Selene really is a badass!

My favorite monster movie is ghost busters the older version. There’s some scary ness to the movie as well as humor which we all knows! I think the part with the man with slim and goo coming or flowing out of the sewers of the city is crazy and scary at the same time. Who comes out of a painting!

I did not consider Jurassic park horror until I saw the above comment. I love all the movies and have watched them many times.
debby236 at gmail dot com
Original Carrie with Sissy Spacek.
I'm not sure if I'd consider it a monster movie, but my favorite Halloween movie is Hocus Pocus because "Amok, amok, amok."
Other than that, I'd have to say Monsters, Inc. because it's so sweet, funny, and well done.
I really don’t like scary anymore so my favorite is Monsters Inc.
nrdriscoll@aol.com
My favorite will forever be The Lost Boys. Thanks for the chance, kaitypr12@gmail.com
I remember staying up late on weekend nights and watching cheap horror movies with my dad that had rats, crocodiles, piranhas, you name it!
I actually don't have a favourite movie. When I was younger I used to sneak out of the room to read instead. I 'may' do the same as an adult!!
rubindot1953@eastlink.ca
The first movie I bought on DVD was Rocky Horror Picture Show and it is my tradition to watch it every year at Halloween. I prefer the original, but I did buy the remake too.
Underworld. All of them. I love them, I own them, and I watch them repeatedly.
I really love the Hotel Transylvania movies lol I don't like scary movies that much but I love the humor in Hotel Transylvania.
Thanks for the chance to win
DREAMOFHORSES24@AOL.COM
I love the Hotel Transylvania movies lol I don't really like scary movies. I prefer scary movies that have humor in them. I blame it on my overactive imagination
My favorite as a kid was Nightmare on Elm Street movies. As an adult i dont like scary movies at all. I would probably be able to watch the jason, freddy and michael movies but not the ones involving houses or dreams so the pretty much means id have to pick jason.
Samantharozyczko@gmail.com
I love all the Hammer vampire films but I also love the classic Universal Pictures monster movies.
My go to movie is Aliens it is one of my all time favorites watch it every so often stil if fact like all of the series a lot but the 2nd one is golden. bobbitopacio@ymail.com
My favorite monster movie is the original Dracula. It was just so creepy in a way modern movies don't seem to be.
jen(dot)f(at)mac(dot)com
Not really a "monster" although he thinks he is, I love just abput every version of the phantom of the opera.
And Jaws.
And Dracula.
And also questionable if it is a monster, the Fog.
And the loveable monster, Pete's Dragon. The original. The is kinda hokey in a fun way while the remake is kinda hokey in a tries to hard way.
I’m a scary movie wimp but I love the “Adams Family” (Havenfieldwood@gmail.com)
Sorry but I hate scary movies so I have no favorite email is slsherck@yahoo.com
Does Young Frankenstein count as a monster movie?
debdeege @ optonline .net
Do you remember Little Monsters? That has always been a favorite.
I don't have a favorite horror movie. I like a lot of them.

I don't really have a favorite. I like a lot of them.

I don't do scary horror movies. I enjoy humorous monster movies like Ghostbusters and Monsters, Inc. My all time favorite movie, bar none, is The Rocky Horror Picture Show with Tim Curry!
I like some classics like old B&W Dracula movies. The first one I saw, the 1931 Bela Lugosi version, was creepy but not gory and I continue to compared all other movies to this one.
Thanks for the chance. j dot stonewright at gmail dot com
I grew up with Halloween and I watch it every year.

Bram Stoker's Dracula. Love that movie
I have to go with the first commentator and say Underworld. Especially the first movie was great!
Dracula

I love Van Helsing or most of the Underworld series.
Not sure if it counts as monster but Van Helsing. He does hunt monsters lol thanks for the chance

1931 Dracula with Bela Lugosi has to be my favorite. There is just something about the "simplicity" of the old classic that heightens the creepy effect and being pre-code it does hint more at the sensual appeal Dracula uses to charm his victims. Its just an all around great film that creeps you out and entertains at the same time. -Heather York

Hotel Transylvania movies are fun monster movies.
Sherryrivera1967@yahoo.com
I love every horror movie you mentioned! LOL The old Frankenstein was my favorite but I truly love them all. We had a place in the Pocono when I was growing up. It was back in the woods on a mountain that was backed by a state park. Perfect place to watch scary movies!
I think I have to go with The Fly--nothing more monsterous that that! chaosmoondrawn [at] gmail [dot] com
I wonder does Edward the Scissorhand count? If not then it will be Harry Potter!
Horror movie: Unbreakable, or maybe Split. I don't watch much horror these days. The scariest ever: The Ring. The grossest? Saw, or The House of 1000 Corpses, both of which I suffered through watching thanks to my roommates & friends. I sat and tried to zen myself into a happy place... and drank a lot of beer!
MONSTER INC.!!! Not the sequel though *lol*
Young Frankenstein, but I agree I love Rocky Horror Picture Show.
dejamew@centurylink.net
loved the new version of Dracula- Dracula Untold.
knebauer@gmail.com
Favorite monster movie might be Underworld or Howl (2015). Both have werewolves and I feel there's not a lot of that around.

Not exactly the kind of monster movie you might be talking about, but Hotel Transylvania. I freaking love that movie! Thanks for the chance :) amandaviecelli@gmail.com
My favorite monster movie is Bride of Frankenstein.
My favorite monster movie is The Bride of Frankenstein.
There is this film with Anna Paquin, Darkness, it is really scary, it kept me awake for a whole week!
Splice! I LOVE that she/he character. *blinks* I hadn't thought of it, but I wonder if there's some kind of statement in that character change I'm unaware of... :)
I don't no if it counts, but I absolutely love The Adams Family.

If we're talking about moster movies... hands down, the old black and white Frankenstein's films with Boris Karloff. They scare me sleepless when I was a kid and they were on TV *laughs*
