​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.
