Ah, Halloween. A time for unnecessary plastic tat and lots of pumpkins.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’m not a fan of the decor but I do quite like an old school horror movie. I want creepy, unnerving and terrifying. I don’t watch as many as I used to and I think you lose your tolerance, like an underused muscle. No one else in the house likes them and I can’t watch on my own so it’s rare that I indulge.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As I don’t like missing out my friend Martine told me that the Book at Bedtime of Radio 4 had been The Omen. I love The Omen. So much so that I dragged the beloved to a revival showing. I am lovely.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This version<\/a> is read by Owen Teale and is suitably spooky and unnerving. There are nine days left to listen to the first episode. If you are brave, listen late at night in a darkened room. If you are more like me do it at midday with some comforting cake to follow.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Don’t have nightmares.<\/p>\n
