Score:

Below 50You’re a horror novice. You should go and find yourself a good romantic comedy on Netflix to watch because you sure ain’t no horror fan!

50 – 75Not bad! You have obviously watched and enjoyed many horror flicks in your lifetime and retain some memory of creepy places in these movies. Your awareness will probably serve you well in real life. If you were to come across a home like any of these, you would know to stay away.

75 – 90You are a horror buff with a keen eye and good memory. You would probably want to live in a home that resembled some of these, just so you could frighten the neighbors and scare your friends.

90 and aboveYou are obsessed with horror and I think it’s probably at an unhealthy point by now. You should go find yourself a good romantic comedy to get your mind out of this psychotic state of horror obsession you’re in!


An additional look at some of the lovely homes. Are you in the market for a new home?

Local Car Show – I attended the yearly car show at Eisenhower Park, NY, and was surprised at the automobiles that appealed to my horror/sci-fi/super-hero tastes.

The highlights were the two Munster cars:

Eddie Munster (now in his 60s) and Marilyn (now in her 70s (?) were at the event signing autographs, taking pictures and talking about the TV show.

The Batmobile looked magnificent in person. Despite the overcast day it shined like black glass.

We saw the Ghost Busters ambulance vehicle.

And the horror hearse that makes its rounds during the Halloween season.
