The Winner Is...and Happy Halloween!

The winner today is Susan.
Susan, if you will send me an email and let me know which one of my  patterns you would like, I will get it right out to you. 
I used to love scary movies, but I could never handle the gory ones. Now days, my favorite 'scary' movies are older ones that combine humor with just a bit of scare. Here are some of my all time favorites:
'Arsenic and Old Lace' with Cary Grant
'The Ghost and Mr. Chicken' with Don Knotts
'I Married a Witch' with Veronica Lake
'Murder He Said' with Fred McMurry and Marjorie Main
'It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!'
I hope your day is filled with lots of treats and no tricks! 
Happy Halloween!

The Winner Is...and Why Not?

The winner of yesterdays contest is Pam S. 
Pam, if you will send me an email and let me know which one of my  patterns you would like, I will get it right out to you. 
I loved reading your favorite scary stories (but believe me, I understand those of you who do  not want to read them, too!) 
The scariest book I ever read was called "Cold Moon Over Babylon" by Michael McDowell. It was so terrifying and sad that I could never read it a second time, even though  it was a really good book (if that makes any kind of sense- this is why I don't do book reviews on Amazon!) It is certainly the kind of book that will give you nightmares!

But I was thinking, since it has been so long since I had a contest, why not go ahead and have another one today?
So, let's have another contest! 
I will give one person their choice of any PDF pattern on my site, bellacrochet.com. 
I will select the winner at random, and send out the patterns in the morning (Thursday.) I will post the name of the winner here, so be sure to check back in the morning to see if you won. 
Also, if you post anonymously, please be sure I have a way to identify you (at least give your first name or a nick name in your comment; I have no way of knowing who is posting.)
To enter, just leave a comment answering this question:
Do you have a favorite scary movie or tv program? (I know some of you answered this yesterday, it is okay to repeat your answer if you want to.)
This contest is now closed. 
Please check back soon for my next contest.
