Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
Happy Halloween! Hope you have lots of trick or treaters if you enjoy that sort of thing. We will be ready, but we don't get anywhere near the amount we used to. Many of the towns around here have Trunk or Treats, and how much candy can kids eat?
This week's Top Ten Tuesday is a Halloween freebie. My title is a long one, but I hope you'll indulge me. Here are the...
Top Ten Books I've Read or Own That Are
Too Creepy, Scary, or Gory for Me to Read Now
I've read this and watched the TV Movie. Not for me these days.
I read this when it first came out. I've seen parts of the movie, but not the whole thing. No desire to repeat this one.
I own the newer edition that came out after the movie starring Daniel Radcliffe. I've never been able to crack it open.
My husband loved all The Exorcist books and movies, including the 2016 television series with Geena Davis. We own the book, but I just can't even think about reading it.
I've owned this book forever. I could just never read it. Now it is in my husband's bookshelf because he is a huge Stephen King fan.
This story always disturbed me.
Keeping in mind that I am petrified of drowning, I don't know why I ever thought I could read this. I still can't even be in the same room if Jaws is on TV.
This is one of my husband's favorite movies, so no surprise that we own the book. I just will never crack it open.
Dead kid planted in a burial ground behind the grieving father's property that is said to bring things back to life. Nope. No way. Never. However, I learned that Dale Midkiff from the Love Comes Softly series played Dr. Louis Creed in the 1989 movie, which almost makes me want to see it.
We definitely own this book, and the husband has watched the movie more than once. I'm pretty sure more than one person hesitated getting in to the shower after reading this one and watching the movie scene. I will remain blissfully unaware of both.
I'm not sure when my tastes changed. Honestly, there is some light horror I can still read. I tend to enjoy gothic horror. It's just not a genre I seek out these days.
