I love creepy. Stephen King is one of my favorite authors, I am obsessed with The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, and my most prized possession is an eyeball signed by Anne Rice.
You’ll notice, those all involve books.
Okay, confession time. I am not as brave when it comes to creepy in other 
types of media. I am too scared to watch The Amityville Horror, I stopped writing in the middle of the night because I saw The Woman in Black lurking in every corner, and the last time I was in a haunted house, I used my Krav Maga training and attacked a worker.
So to honor the great literary genre, horror, I created a Halloween quiz. All of the questions are from kidlit books, except number ten – the bonus question.
After you click on the link above and take the quiz, come back here to see where you fall on the creepiness scale.
8 – 10 correct: you love to be scared. Or you are really a zombie.
5 – 7 correct: you are beginning to discover the darkness inside you.
1 – 4 correct: you are a scaredy-cat and I suggest you stay in the humor and contemporary sections of the bookstore.
