October 31st

It's Halloween night! What started as a way for ancient cultures to honor their dead (The next day, November 1st is All Saint's Day, or "All Hallowed Day" so this night is "All Hallow's Eve") has quickly become one of the biggest party days of the year. To honor the creepy, spooky spirit of Halloween, I'm writing to some of my favorite horror movie directors, actors, and special effects people.
