Have Yourself A Scary Little Christmas

Instead of a regular discussion this week, we decided to change it up for the holidays, to get all of our club members in the "spirit" of the season ;).

Just because it's the holidays, it doesn't mean you have to put your paranormal studies on hold. There are plenty of fun, freaky, and frightening holiday themed movies, TV specials and books out there:

Books:
A Christmas Carol; by Charles Dickens-
A classic ghost story about stingy Ebenezer Scrooge's visit from the spirits of holidays past, present, and yet to come. This story has been loved by generations, and is still scary.

Goosebumps: Beware, The Snowman; by R.L. Stine-
A spooky-fun story about a girl who moves into a remote town with a secret that is somehow connected to her past.

Silent Night I and II; by R.L Stine- Two thriller novels that are very spooky, and full of frightening twists and surprises.

The Christmas Tree That ate My Mother; by Dean Marney-
A funny short novel about a girl who's Christmas tree is up to no good.

Movies:
Tim Burton's The Nightmare before Christmas-
The fun classic about how Christmas came to Halloweentown.

A Christmas Carol (Any version- there are many)-
There are plenty of movie versions of Charles Dickens' haunting tale. I recommend the 1970s version, called Scrooge, and the new Disney animated version.

Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas (animated or live action)-
These are fun holiday classics.

TV specials:
"Holiday Spirit"- Ghost Whisperer

"Second Chances"- CSI: NY

"How The Ghosts Stole Christmas"- X-Files

"Christmas Carol"- X-Files

Check out any of this great holiday fare. What are your favorites? Do you have any other shows, movies, or books to add? Let us know!

Season's Greetings,
