*** Article: 10 Tips for Scaring Away Halloween Fears - Connie Hammer ***
------------------------------------------------------------ The usual fears of the dark, masks, monsters and things that go bump in the night begins to surface around the age of three for most children regardless of abilities. This occurs just as your child's imagination and sense of creativity starts to evolve. Fears develop as the imagination begins to blossom and the distinction between real and unreal sometimes becomes more difficult to detect. This is a normal part of development, a time when children need our guidance to help them tell the difference and begin to develop skills to address their fears on their own.
Most children get beyond this stage without much of a commotion yet others seem to get stuck in a scary place for longer than we would like. With Halloween approaching these fears can easily escalate if we aren't paying attention or are confused about how to address them. If your child is not looking forward to the tricks and treats that this season brings and their anxiety is causing you angst, don't dismay, here are ten ideas for scaring these frights away.

*** Book Review: Life Lessons from Slasher Films - By Jessica Robinson ***
------------------------------------------------------------
In Life Lessons from Slasher Films, Jessica Robinson looks at representative works that have been scaring audiences for decades"from Alfred Hitchcock’s seminal shocker, Psycho, to the cult classic Black Christmas and iconic thrillers like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Halloween, Friday the 13th, and Scream. In this book, Robinson examines common themes that have emerged in these films, their various sequels, and countless imitators--a maniacal and seemingly indestructible executioner, sexual encounters that invariably lead to death, increasingly gruesome ways to slaughter helpless victims, and a lone female survivor who finds a way to vanquish the killer--and looks beyond such tropes for what these films can teach us about life.
From practical advice (listen to your elders) to moral platitudes (teens never learn), each chapter considers a different "lesson" that these films teach. Robinson discusses how the events portrayed in slasher films can resonate with viewers and perhaps offer constructive advice on how to conduct our lives. A fun read for fans and scholars alike, Life Lessons from Slasher Films offers an entertaining and persuasive look at how life can imitate art, and what art can say about life.
