Well, it’s that time of year again, where the days grow short, the trees grow bare and nightmares come fast and furious in 90-minute intervals…
It’s time for SCARE-A-THON 2012.
Every October, I dedicate my energies, in the spirit of a walk-a-thon or read-a-thon, to a charity deserving of some “terror lovin’ care.” This year, I have selected The Friends of Children, an organization that provides aid to underfunded youth around the world, with 100% of all donations going directly to those in need. (All operating expenses are covered by private grants.) Their website is: http://www.thefriendsofchildren.org/
From October 1 - 31, I will immerse myself in vampire bites, unholy rites, full moons, ancient runes, pointy knives, twisted lives, masked killers and undead chillers. For your part, I am asking for assistance on a per-movie pledge basis – a dime, a nickel, even a penny helps and many hands pulling in the same direction make for light work. At the end of the month, we tally the total (this year’s goal is between 80 to 100 fright flicks), multiply by your pledge amount, and the kids have a happier holiday season. It’s that simple.
If you are interested in participating, please email me at drach101@gmail.com to let me know your desired pledge amount. (Or, if you have another charity that you prefer to support, we can dedicate our combined energies to that end. You’re the one writing the check, after all.)
As in years past, I will be documenting my progress here on the HORROR 101 with Dr. AC blog, so please stop by and see how we’re doing.
(OR YOU CAN JUST SCROLL DOWN TO SEE THE TITLES WE'VE SEEN THUS FAR:)
Thanks for your time! Here’s wishing everyone a happy and safe Halloween season!
Caring while scaring,
AC
