Let’s end this month the right way, with microfiction of the spooky and mysterious persuasion. Happy Halloween!

When visiting Cuba, a strange event occurs…
Designing a haunted house
Making a monster

Remember last year when I reviewed The Boxtrolls and said I’d get to ParaNorman the next week? Haha… yeah, apparently deadlines like that are lofty ambitions for me.

And let’s not forget that it’s the last Thursday of the month. So for today’s Ronin Reads, let’s take a look at a Star Wars book that spun off from a recent TV series. A spin-off of a spin-off, if you will.

Star Wars: Dark Disciple

Did you know that an eyeball can have a muscle spasm?

Now I know that.

And let me tell you right now, it hurts like a beast. Like ALL the beasts. And it’s about that time that you curse the fact that all your work is vision-based. Ain’t we having some fun now?

Who better to review the new Goosebumps movie than the guy who hasn’t read the books, seen the show, or followed any of R.L. Stine’s career? Sure, makes perfect sense.

All right, time for another batch of Scribbles. They’re not particularly horror themed, but not everything in October can be spooky.

This week’s theme of horror is self-awareness and deconstruction. Hang on tight, we’re in for some good ones.

The Cabin in the Woods
Tucker and Dale vs. Evil

You waited. You hoped. And now, you shall receive. Ladies and gentlemen, I present my first article looking at the old Star Wars Expanded Universe.

But that’s not all. I’m adding a new short story to my fiction section called “The Badlands.” I’ve actually been sitting on this one for a while and I think now’s the best time to release it. After all, I’m working on getting an expansion of it published. Enjoy.

The hour is late, yes, that’s the best time for horror.

Crimson Peak

Fifteen days until Halloween and I can’t wait to put on my costume. Oh well, I’ll settle for some Scribbles instead. I might even revisit “Surround” one of these days.

Significant Other Apology
Smoking

If it’s in a word or it’s in a look… Jesus Christ, lady, don’t touch that book!

You’ll have to watch the movie to get that one.
