Horror movies can lead to great horror reads...
Watching a few scary movies, it is a tradition for many at Halloween, when the various TV shows are running marathons of movies that make us go eek! This Halloween we encourage you to check out a book or two after you watch your favorite movie and share it with a friend. This group of pairings is by no means complete and is a work in progress. If there are other horror movie/book suggestions please let us know. For librarians, when putting your Halloween displays together mixing media allows you to promote reading to those who might normally just looking for a horror movie to watch.
