About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write.
Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground.

Those Halloween Movies!
Prompt:
What are your favorite Halloween movies you watch every year? Write about them in your Blog entry today.
------------
Forget about every year. I'm just not into watching Halloween-centered shows or any horror movies. This is because, since the foundation of the horror genre, research into these themes has been quite extensive. Some psychiatrists believe that scaring children (And I add, adults, too) should not be a regular regimen for the general mental health of a nation.
But then, who am I to swim against the tide, when Halloween horror has become so popular! Not wanting to evade the issue altogether, better parents usually sugar-coat it by giving it a comedic edge and possibly ban the view of far-out and taboo scenarios and activities on-screen.
When I try to reduce a horror film to its basics, be it some regular horror or a Halloween movie, its plot mostly has to do with the relationship between a monster, a ghost, a witch, a vampire, or some other scary entity and a normal person or a group of people. Surely, exciting chases and sudden boos give a jolt to the viewers, but this type of a jolt may not be very healthy for everyone. This weird enjoyment of such a jolt defines the horror film or a Halloween movie at its core by serving as the reason and the basis for the entire plot.
Still, during the Halloween time, I go along with the excitement and fill a basket of goodies for the trick or treaters who ring my door. After all, I love children, be it in costumes or otherwise.
