1. Are you superstitious?

I'm a creature of habit rather than superstition. I step on the cracks but so far my Mum is alright... touch wood. I'm not bothered about ladders or picking up pennies [although I do drop them so other people can pick them up]. I've always done the whole "touch wood" thing but never really as a superstitious thing, I don't expect it to do anything.

2. Are you attending or hosting a halloween party this year?

No party for me, too poorly. To be honest I'm not one for parties full stop. Last time we went out it was a complete bust, didn't enjoy it at all. I much prefer staying in with a funny movie and some ice cream.

3. What's your favourite scary movie?

I really enjoyed 1408 with John Cusack. I was so glad I watched it in the day. I think I'm getting to the age where I can't watch scary films at night as they really freak me out! Great film though, heavy on the psychological stuff.

4. Trick or Treat?

Oh why not both, open the door and throw a bucket of water at the critters and follow it up with some chocolate.

5. The best Halloween costume is...?

Hmmm.. tricky. The Doppler Effect [Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory sported that one]. I'd love to go in a Jane Austen-esque period outfit, but failing that I'd have to go superhero.
