Welcome to another week of Fairly Frightening Friday blog hop (meme)!  I’m so happy to have you here!  Please  add your post to the linky below!  Whether it’s cutesy or really scary, all is good, as long as it’s rated PG.  :-)

Today, I’d like to share a show I discovered recently.  It’s called Dexter, and can be found on Showtime, and past episodes can be viewed on Netflix.  It’s about a guy who does forensics with the police, but also kills people.  Yes, he’s a serial killer, but he does have ethics.  He only kills people who kill other people.  Neat twist huh?  Now, I do have to warn you, there is nudity, sex, and language, so the show is NOT for the under 18 crowd.  At least, not in my house.  I usually don’t watch things that have such things, but I really like the show otherwise.

Have you seen the show?  What is YOUR Fairly Frightening Friday post about?  Don’t forget to leave a link to your FFF, and leave a comment, too!

Well hello folks!  I hope you’re doing well on this beautiful day that God made!  Are you ready for today’s blog hop?  Today’s Fairly Frightening Friday meme is about Vincent Price!  I adore Vincent!  He is one actor I really wish I’d had the chance to meet!

1911 – 1993

Actor, writer, and gourmet, Vincent Price was born in St Louis, Missouri. He traveled through Europe, studied at Yale and became an actor. He made his screen debut in 1938, and after many minor roles, he began to perform in low-budget horror movies such as House of Wax (1953), achieving his first major success with House of Usher (1960). Known for his distinctive, low-pitched, creaky, atmospheric voice and his quizzical, mock-serious facial expressions, he went on to star in a series of acclaimed Gothic horror movies, such as Pit and the Pendulum (1961) and The Abominable Dr. Phibes (1971).

He abandoned films in the mid-1970s, going on to present cooking programs for television – he wrote “A Treasury of Great Recipes” (1965) with his second wife, Mary Grant – but had two final roles in The Whales of August (1987) and Edward Scissorhands (1990). He also recorded many Gothic horror short stories for the spoken-word label Caedmon Records.

House of  Wax is my favorite Vincent Price movie (and in my top 10 favorites all around), and my second fav of his is House on Haunted Hill.  :-)

I’m working on some clay morels, and watching one of Vincent Price’s movies, The Raven.  I just love the comedic horror that he was so good at!  And, not a single curse word.  If you’d like to watch it, I’ve embedded it below.  :-)

Today is the second installment of my new meme, Fairly Frightening Friday!  As you may have noticed, it doesn’t REALLY have to be frightening, just something that is sort of Halloween themed!

I’ve always thought memes and blog carnivals were fun, but I don’t always run across a lot that I want to participate in.  So, while looking over a list of some memes, I came up with an idea for a new one!  But, sticking with my Halloween theme, this one is going to be a little different.

This meme is for anyone who enjoys Halloween all year round!  Anyone who adores the creepy, ghoulish, and macabre!  And, luckily, the rules will be fairly simple!

So, here we go!  The very first post of FAIRLY FRIGHTENING FRIDAY!!!!  *insert spooking music here*

Here is my first Fairly Frightening Friday photo!
