Ditto Jason Vorhees and the other slashers. Freddy isn’t-and hasn’t been-scary, at least to me, for many years. Meghan: What/who is your favorite horror monster or villain?īen: There’s a lot! I think it would be a tie between Pennywise, The Hell Priest, Charlie Manx, and Frankenstein. Meghan: What are you superstitious about?īen: Talking about fiction I’m currently writing. It’s also a time of renewal-out with the old, in with the new. You can’t do that on any other holiday or regular day, for that matter. I always tried to scare the hell out of my classmates. As a child, we could dress up and go to school as our favorite monsters. Meghan: If Halloween is your favorite holiday (or even second favorite holiday), why?īen: Halloween has always been my favorite holiday. Hopefully, a few buddies of mine and I can get together and read short horror stories to one another. I can’t wait to see what he’s capable of. I plan to dress up as The Hell Priest this year, and I have a friend who does special effects. Also, I love dressing up as one of my favorite horror creatures. Now it’s re-reading my favorite horror novels. Meghan: What is your favorite Halloween tradition?īen: It was handing out candy to the trick-or-treaters but, sadly, that’s come to an end. Of course, my uncle called it a “holler.” I was able to bring that same hollow into my latest horror novella, Hollow Heart. My imagination was operating on all 8 cylinders then, and it does now. My uncle would take me for walks into the hollow behind his house. I always looked forward to visiting my relatives in Tennessee. I love taking walks in the woods and just taking it all in.

Most of my fiction is written during the winter. I love that crisp cinnamon smell in the air. What is your favorite part of Halloween?īen: The weather and the colors of Autumn. Meghan: Hi Ben! Welcome to Meghan’s (Haunted) House of Horrors.
