T-shirt drawing, new Dad of the Month Interview and Horror movies

Tomorrow, November 1st we will do our monthly drawing for a free Dadsworld.com t-shirt.  I am also going to do a drawing in November for another Seven Steps to Baby Bliss DVD.

Our new Dad of the Month interview will be up as well, so be sure to check it out.  I will talk tomorrow about the Dad… but I will tell you that he is an Olympic Silver Medalist! 

Be sure to go to the Dadsworld.com store and check out the new t-shirts, if you haven’t yet.  They are available in black, chocolate brown and military green.  Great looking shirts!  If you are a Dad, get one for yourself.  If you are not a Dad, they make great gifts for Dads you know.  They will be flattered with the ‘Dad for Life’ slogan on the shirts. 

Have a great Halloween, stay safe and have fun.  My wife and I used to love to watch scary movies, and we still do occasionally.  Although with young children, those movies have really lost a lot of appeal with me.  I was the kid who watched every scary movie that came out.  Of course it all started with the Japanese Monster movies when I was young.  Then, when I was still a kid it was the Friday the 13th movies, Nightmare on Elm Street, Halloween, The Exorcist, The Amityville Horror, The Beast Within, The Mummy, The Hills have Eyes, The Shinning, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, etc.  Of course there were the old classic horror movies like the Night of the Living Dead, Zombies, Psycho etc.  That grew into the more current movies like Wrong Turn, Joyride, The Cabin, Saw, The Grudge, etc.  I don’t watch these movies much anymore, I guess I have seen my share and as a father, they are not nearly as appealing as they used to be.

I have to say that I enjoyed the slasher type movies the most, and the evil spirit/paranormal movies the least.  One movie that both my wife and I found very disturbing and scary was Event Horizon, which is set in space.  I’m not sure why, but this movie was extremely scary and haunting.  One reason, I think, that it was so scary is that the bad guy wasn’t a guy with an axe, no it was EVIL itself.  A much scarier concept to me.

This year, I haven’t done nearly as many things to our house in preparation for Halloween, although I still have a few tricks up my sleeve.  With my son going to bed at 8pm, I will have a little time to scare some of the kids (and adults) who visit our house.  We are known in the neighborhood as ‘The Scary House’.  So, I can’t let the neighbors down!  Happy Halloween!
