The scariest book i've ever read was Pet Sematary and we all know who that is by.... Stephen King. It was the first horror book i've ever read at the age of 13.

I have several favorite horror authors. Stephen King first and foremost. Also his son, Joe Hill, like father, like son. Clive Barker, Robert R. McCammon. These authors never disappoint me. I can read there books over and over.

The scariest book I probably read was Stephen King's book "The Shining." I was in my teens, and I recall being so scared that I had to put it down again and again, my imagination was and is way too vivid sometimes, and it was THAT scary. Got to love him though.
Thanks for the chance.

My husband and I are taking our daughter trick or treating! I'm dressed as Bo Peep ( got a costume made special off etsy), Hubby is a Crook... lol, and our daughter is my sheep! It's going to be so much fun!
I would love to win these books!

This year I am a football player. Boo thinks it is great that her mom will be a football player. We love football in our house, so the costume is super easy.
Scariest book?? "IT" still gives me nightmares, but I can't stop reading it every once in a while. Stephen King does it best when it comes to fear!
I haven't read any of those authors, and I am always on the hunt for new books. thanks!

I will be taking my son (the cowboy) trick or treating, and then later that evening attending an adult party as Rainbow Brite! should be fun!!
I won't be going trick or treating because I have to work Halloween night. But I will be dressed up as a nurse! And we are going to have a Halloween party at the hospital! Maybe I'll get some treats!
Yes, we are going to go trick or treating as a family on Friday. My twins(18 mths) are thing one and thing two, my four year old is Horton the Elephant, my 7 year old is Dr. Seuss along with his Dad, and I am Whoville.

One of the scariest books I've ever read is called "Strangers" by Dean Koontz. He's my favorite scary author because they always still have a good ending. I like scary but not depressing.

I will be taking some kids I babysit trick or treating and one little girl is going to be a pumpkin!
I won't be going out for Halloween, but when I was little I was once a cat. My older sister sewed the costume so I thought it was just great.
yeah i'm taking my niece trick or treating, i dont know if i'll dress up or not, last year i was a slumber party girl! it was fun wearing my pjs lol.
I am really enjoying all the posts about trick and treating and what your kids will wear...I just went to an adult party and wore a Little House on the Praire outfit. I just love Halloween.
the comments on the scariest books read, looks like so far Stephen King has it...I agree on the most part, but my scariest book has been "Whispers" by Dean Koontz...gave me the creeps....however I do get scared by King... too.. :<<
This year for Halloween I'm going as a "Frazzled Mom". LOL!!! Nah, I wear a T-shirt that says "This IS my costume". Ha Ha.

Scariest book ever? IT by Stephen King! I couldn't look at a drain for months!
I am not going trick or treating, but at work, a group of us are dressing up as the cell phone geeks in the alltell commercial. We work for the phone company. LOL
John Saul's books used to keep me up at night, too scared to pull the light cord.
Thanks for the giveaway! >^..^<
I'd like to read these books. I will not be dressing up for Halloween, but my children will be dressed up and I'm going to take them trick-or-treating. One of my sons is going as the grim reaper, another son as a boxer. One of my daughters is going as Hilary Clinton, and another daughter as Elvis Presley.

I'm taking my daughter trick-or-treating. She will be a pirate. I just bought the costume today.
The scariest book I ever read was "Cujo" by Stephen King, who is my favorite scary author! I was much younger and hubby worked nights so I was alone at home. I would read in bed and that book scared me so much that I imagined growling noises in the house, noises outside the window, noises everywhere! And the picture on the cover...I had to turn it upside down so I couldn't see that dog!

I am going to take my kids trick or treating this year and I usually just unmatch my clothes and pull my hair up in piggytails with a huge lollipop. That way I don't have to buy for myself just the little ones. Thank you for the chance.
No trick or treating for me this year, but I might be going to my sister's house for scary movies. :D
jeffery deaver's books Twisted and More Twisted aren't really scary per se. But they are psychological thrillers and very, very good. :)

We will not be trick-or-treating. I keep telling my husband that we don't celebrate Halloween, and I usually lose. This year, we're staying home and giving out candy. I call it a draw! lol
I know that Stephen King is an obvious choice - but I really like Ann Rule. She write true crime - but it's MUCH scarier when it's real.
I'm taking my nieces trick or treating and I am dressing up as Minnie Mouse!

The scariest book I ever read was Fatal Vision by Joe McGinniss. It probably scared me because it was a true story and I could never imagine someone could do such things.
I'm taking my son Trick or Treating for the first time.
I'm not dressing up though.

I will be wearing a costume to work but will not be able to go trick or treating with the family because of work :(

I'm not going trick-or-treating. I stay home to give kids candy. I wear a Halloween t-shirt but no costume. Thanks!
I will be trick-or-treating with my godson, but have not bought my costume yet.
Not going trick-or-treating, but we're having a party tomorrow: does that count? Also, my costume this year is Willy Wonka, and my brother's going as Sweeny Todd. Should be fun!

I will not be going out this year..sigh..but I will be handing out treats if anyone comes by.
The scariest book I have read is Phantoms by Dean Koontz but my favorite horror author is HP Lovecraft
We took the girls Trick or Treating
Probably It by Stephen King or Pet Cemetery.
I didnt' dress up, my girls were an angel & a broken doll.
Sorry, no t/t this year bec we have to go the highschool football game and watch my son march in the band. I did take around goodie bags to the closest neighbors before we went, though.
Thanks for having the giveaway!
No, I was at home handing out candy. I love to see all the costumes!
