What is your favorite holiday? Why is it your favorite?
Halloween season
Favorite time of the year
Full of the macabre

Halloween has long been my favorite holiday. I am a horror fan and it’s that one time of year that horror becomes the norm.

Haiku – 4/17/2024
YouTube videos
Chasing an elusive star
Hoping for success
+
I have run a Podcast for about 4 years, Song Lines and Tan Lines, and that’s tough to put together week in and week out, but YouTube, that’s a totally different animal. Not only do you have to nail the audio, but the thumbnails, and the video too. Crazy how much work goes into making a YouTube Video and a YouTube Channel. I do have two new shorts available if you want to check them out. Thanks for following and putting up with my many adventures in the fiction world.

Haiku: Blood Smiles
Playing around with A.I. generator and came up with this.
Naturally it inspired a Haiku.
3 happy vampires
Dancing in the cool moonlight
Nightly feast complete
-
Haiku: Fallen Acorns
Fallen Acorns
Acorn shifts and moves
Growing a face, legs, and arms
Time to devour
New short is live in case you want to watch it.

Deadly Dolls
Deadly Dolls #haiku #supernatural #horrorshorts #spooky
New short and Haiku on the Disembodied Screams Channel.
Plastic arms reaching
Dolls voices screaming out loud
Vacant eyes staring
And I wrote this Haiku one night laying in bed listening to the rain. Don’t hate the rain, kind of enjoy a casual rainy day, but the Haiku has a nice ring to it.
A total washout
Rain, like a movie villain
Destroying the day

Haiku – 3/15/2024
A couple of new Haiku for you. There are shorts to go along with both of these so check out my new YouTube: SongLinesandTanLines Channel for those videos. Thanks for following.
Lush green grass growing
Blades of the lawnmower screech
Showing no mercy
+
Transcending darkness
Plunges the world into black
Devours the light
-
Haiku – 12/13/2023
In the morning dark
Swishing of carpet fibers
Translucent movement

haiku – 11/2/2021
Corner of the room
A figure in the shadows
Shimmering in white

Have you guys seen this movie?
I’ve seen some scary movies in my time and thought I might never find another great one – was I wrong. This movie has many scary moments sprinkled throughout, but the last thirty minutes took my breath away. It was just one thing after another and I loved it – nice to finally find a movie that actual scares you. I will say it isn’t for everyone, lots of hard gut wrenching stuff in this movie, but if you have the stamina to push through it is a very satisfying and excellent film. Should have been some awards dropped on this one.

Haiku – 10/07/2021
Disembodied scream
A ghostly visitation
Haunting the dark night
-
Haiku – 8/1/2021
In the black of night
Room plunged into thick darkness
Footsteps walking slow
+
Alone in the house
Stirring from a deep slumber
Listening for more
+
Hush of silence falls
Starting to relax a bit
Cold invades the room
+
Something striding fast
Moving towards the soft couch
Contact imminent
+
Been listening to a couple of Podcasts that have my brain exploring the supernatural and the unknown – helped to inspire this post. Plus, I just finished a great book by Ryan Sprague called Somewhere in the Skies. I highly recommend it. The stories about aliens and abductions and conspiracies will keep you up at night. You can get the book here: Somewhere in the Skies and you can find the Somewhere in the Skies Podcast wherever you get your Podcasts from. And if you want some great ghost stories check out the Podcast called Jim Harold’s Campfire. Great spooky stories. I think Jim also has books but I haven’t read any of them. That’s it. Thanks for reading and enjoying the blog. Have a good one.

Haiku – 7/5/2021
Day filled with sunshine
Nature covered in brightness
Silently happy
+
Crawling from the murk
Monster oozing with evil
Eyes glowing dark red
-
Haiku – 6/13/2021
A door clicks open
Unpleasant smell of decay
Takes over the room
+
Soft shuffling of feet
It enters the tiny house
Looking for a feast
+
Terror fills his soul
Running for a quick exit
The back door is blocked
+
There is no way out
Man grabs a long kitchen knife
Time to go to war
+
I know I haven’t been posting much as of late, honestly having been doing a lot of creative stuff lately. Kids are out of school, schedule is tighter, free time is tighter as well, and most days I’d rather relax than post in a blog. Just wanted to put that out there in case you are wondering where I have dissappeared to. And next week I finally getting to have a vacation of sorts, going to visit family. This will be the first trip me and my family have taken since Christmas of 2019. Crazy. That’s it and below you will find a picture I was going to write a Haiku about for this post. Decided to write a horror tale instead, but I thought I would leave the picture. I like the way it turned out.

Haiku – 5/7/2021
A cool ghostly kiss
Cemetery lips on skin
Pressed to his forehead
Funny thing. This Haiku was inspired by something tickling my nose as I went to bed last night. I assume it was a piece of string or the bed sheet – but, who knows?
Dull tomato red
Piercing the new morning sky
Storm about to break
When I got out of bed this morning the sky looked amazing and it looked like it was about to burst with the most violent storm I had ever seen. Thankfully it didn’t, but it did inspire this Haiku.

Haiku – 5/6/2021
The evening descends
Like a thick blanket of fear
Nighttime forthcoming
-
Haiku – 5/2/2021
A damp musty crypt
Down inside the thick darkness
Vampire waits for night
+
Watched this great Vampire movie a couple of nights ago and it helped to inspire this Haiku. Are you a Vampire fan? Just curious. And, shameless plug, I plan to cover this one on my Nightlight Tales Podcast – eventually.

Haiku – 3/26/2021
Nighttime shadow moves
Coolness chilling the warm room
Vampire takes his drink

And if you need a solid Vampire movie to watch – check out this movie you can watch right now on Shudder. If you love horror Shudder is a great service to sign up for.

Haiku – 2/22/2021
Campfire popping loud
Gathered around the bright flames
Sharing spooky tales
+
I dropped an episode in my Nightlight Tales Podcast this weekend called Ghost Stories – spooky experiences I have had in my lifetime. I thought I would share that episode with you and if you want to share your stories either leave me a comment on this post or send me an email – zombiebeach3@gmail.com. I will probably feature them on the podcast at some point in time. Thanks for following my blog and remember to keep the lights on at night because you just don’t know what might be lurking in the darkness.

Haiku – 2/15/2021
A noise from behind
Icy cold hand on his arm
Filling him with fear
+
Sinister laughter
Sends him fleeing from the room
Swiftly exiting
-
Haiku – 2/12/2021
Downward descending
Into the gloomy basement
Ghostly footsteps creak
