Happy Halloween! Here's a treat for you!

Picture it:

October, 1996

Four 19 year-old girls huddled in a dark college dorm room to watch a campy scary movie in honor of Halloween. They weren't expecting to be scared by The House on Haunted Hill, but you wouldn't have known it by their screams and jumps.

For the next thirteen years, two of the girls - Jen and I - would watching the movie every Halloween. Distance has kept us from watching The House on Haunted Hill together for 11 of those years, but every year when I watch it, it feels like the distance isn't that much.
