​Here I have our final author interviews. Enjoy!

When I was a kid, I was terrified by horror movies but fascinated by them all the same. (I was obsessed with VHS box covers. And, now I just gave away my age.) What was your scariest horror movie as a kid? Hands down, The Exorcist, especially because as I’ve moved to St. Louis, I’ve seen some of the locations where the real exorcism occurred.

I LOVED that one, but not until I was way older. The book was totally creepy too. Do you have any ghost stories passed down through your family? Or maybe one of your own ...? My last house was haunted by an old woman. She would play with my hair when I was cooking.

And, that would keep me from cooking ever again. Forever.

​Sarah Bromley drinks too much coffee, likes her music loud and off-key, and has loved spooky things since she first saw “An American Werewolf in London” when she was five years old. She currently lives in the St. Louis area with her high-school-sweetheart-turned-heroic-husband, three children, and her dogs.

 I had the fear-fascination relationship with horror movies when I was a kid - pretty much until I hit my tweens. What was your favorite (or most feared) movie as a kid. My dad took me and my older brother and sister to Amityville Horror when the film first came out. The scene with the priest and the flies. Ugh! I thought they were bees (I’m terrified of stings) and had a full on freak out in the theatre.
 
Your dad was a brave man! Tempting the fates to give him sleepless nights due to three extra kids in the bed. Or, maybe you guys were more hardcore than I was. How about family ghost stories passed down, or have you had your own spectral encounter? My mom used to tell me that if you see someone you love and they look right through you – like they don’t know you – you’re actually seeing their “fetch”.  A warning their death is fast approaching. That idea has always haunted me.

Now I HAVE to look that up. There's definitely a story there. A very creepy story. And speaking of creepy stories, I can't wait to read the 13 tales in the next Leap Books anthology, "Fright before Christmas!"

Award-winning writer and screenwriter Judith Graves loves tragic romance, werewolves, vampires, magic and all things a bit creepy. A firm believer that teen fiction can be action-packed, snarky and yet hit all the right emotional notes, Judith writes stories with attitude. She lives in northern Alberta and when she’s not writing, or playing bass in a cover band, she works in a school library.

What was your scariest horror movie as a kid? Me too! It’s hard to choose the scariest, but I’d have to say it’s a tie between Nightmare on Elm Street and Hellraiser. *shivers*

"Hellraiser!" Yes! I actually can't watch the first one, it's just too intense. I've been thinking of the second one quite a bit lately, though, and I'm thinking I may need to watch it again. It's been over a decade since I saw that movie, and I'm totally in the mood. Do you have any ghost stories passed down through your family? Or maybe one of your own ...? No family ghost stories, but I’ve heard voices whisper my name in the hallway of my childhood home. 

I'm glad you don't live there anymore! If that happened to me ... serious chills.

Reid writes character driven YA urban fantasy, paranormal, and speculative fiction and is the author of the Pretty Dark series (Month9Books) She is both American and British and has called six different cities in three different countries, home. Her strong sense of wanderlust and craving for a new adventure mean you might find her wandering the moors of her beloved Scotland, exploring haunted castles, or hiking through a magical forest in search of fairies and sprites. When she’s not venturing into the unknown in her real life, she loves getting lost in the worlds of video games or curling up by the fire with good story. For now, this native Texan is back in the Lone Star State, settling down with her Scottish husband and writing whatever new tales of fantasy her imagination dreams up.

On to the interviews! And each day, feel free to post your answers to the questions in the comments. We'd love to hear from you.

When I was a kid, I was terrified by horror movies but fascinated by them all the same. (I was obsessed with VHS box covers. And, now I just gave away my age.) What was your scariest horror movie as a kid? When I was about twelve, I saw a movie that featured ghoulish walking-dead characters in some weird medieval setting. I can't tell you the name of the movie because it was such a bad film. I was so freaked out by it that it made me (literally) sick. Years later I caught it on TV. Man, it was so bad, and I could laugh. A little.

I'd LOVE to know the title if it ever comes to you. Sounds like a crazy mash-up. Do you have any ghost stories passed down through your family? Or maybe one of your own ...? My mother saw ghosts all the time. I've only had a few experiences, but I will tell you that the night that my best friend died (she had cancer) I was awakened at precisely 3:17AM by something bumping my bed, hard. I learned the next morning that she'd died at 3:17AM. I'm sure she was there to say goodbye.

What an incredible story ... I hope that brought you peace during a hard time. Although I'm sure I'd be terrified, I can name a few people I would love to come bump me in the night.

She lives in Bozeman, Montana, where she and her husband are ruled by an energetic Lab.

What was your scariest horror movie as a kid? Child’s Play. I saw that when I was very young and dolls had already terrified me.

You know, that's one I've never seen from beginning to end. I think I have a new title for my Halloween-season list! Have you ever had any paranormal experiences? I saw an apparition at the foot of my bed once. It was a man and he cocked his head at me. I screamed and ran from the room.

I would have run screaming from the house. I love to read, watch, and write horror, but I think I'd be a total chicken if it actually happened to me.

​Kelly Hashway fully admits to being one of the most accident-prone people on the planet, but that didn’t stop her from jumping out of an airplane at ten thousand feet one Halloween. Maybe it was growing up reading R.L. Stine’s Fear Street books that instilled a love of all things scary and a desire to live in a world filled with supernatural creatures, but she spends her days writing speculative fiction for young adults, middle graders, and young children. Kelly’s also a sucker for first love, which is why she writes YA and NA romance under the pen name Ashelyn Drake. When she’s not writing, Kelly works as an editor and also as Mom, which she believes is a job title that deserves to be capitalized. She is represented by Sarah Negovetich of Corvisiero Literary Agency.

Today, I'll be interviewing author, Christine Fonseca. Feel free to leave a comment on about our own spooky encounters. We'd love to hear from you!

When I was a kid, I was terrified by horror movies but fascinated by them all the same. What was your scariest horror movie as a kid? I saw Salem’s Lot  (1979) and Amityville Horror (1979). Scared the heck out of me.
 
I love that one! The book too. One of the first scary movies I actually watched was "The Amityville Demon," and there was a particular part that I can still see in my mind. What about your own ghost stories or one passed down through your family? We had a ghost my childhood attic. She lived in the attic. I remember cleaning that attic on day. She didn’t like that! 

Perfect excuse to never clean again!
