Introduction
The Sunday Exchange is a new weekly feature we are introducing at Pages Unbound where we ask you, our readers, to share a post from your own blog that matches the week’s theme. The goal is to allow you to share posts you are proud of or think other people will find interesting and to help other people find fun posts to read.
This Week’s Theme
Share a Post Related to Halloween
The “Rules”
- Share your post title, the URL of the post, AND a brief explanation of what the post is/why you think people might like to read it in a comment on this blog post.
- Try to make the post fit the week’s theme.
- Please share only one post each week.
- The post does not have to be recent. It can be from any time in your blog’s archives.
- Consider visiting some other bloggers’ posts.
- We won’t be closing the comments after a week has passed, so *technically* you can still add your post later, but it may not get that much traffic if you share your post a month later.
That’s it! We hope you participate, and check back next Sunday for a new theme and another chance to share!

“The Many Faces Of Evil (A Halloween Extravaganza) Part III”

A few years ago, I did a series in October exploring different depictions of the Joker (because clowns are the SCARIEST THING EVER) and how the character illustrates the idea of evil. This is my favorite entry in the series, looking at Heath Ledger’s portrayal of the Joker in 2008’s ‘The Dark Knight.’

Of course! I love seeing the themes each week, trying to decide what post I have that fits, and then reading everyone else’s posts. Your Sunday Exchange, sincerely, has become one of my favorite parts of the week.

Too bad, I haven’t written anything even remotely Halloween related on my blog ever. Around here it is a party theme, not a season (instead the tradition is lighting candles on all graves).

I don’t like scary things, so maybe no Halloween season could have its benefits….

Halloween is getting more and more popular here but I’m just old enough for it never to have been any major thing when I was a child. I did go candy-begging in Easter time instead, although then you have to bribe your way to candy (by giving away ugly home made cards and hope for the best) instead of threatening with “trick or treat” 🙂

Wow! What do people do with all the cards they receive?

Throw them out right after Easter I guess. They are usually just a piece of ordinary paper with an Easter greeting and quick sketch of something Easter related. If you go in a group it’s usually just one from the whole group. It basically acts as an excuse “no-we-are-not-at-all-here-to-beg-candy-we-just-want-to-give-you-this-pretty-drawing,-but-if-you-happen-to-have-candy-we-will-gladly-take-it”.

That sounds fun, if also hilarious! “We, uh, just happened to have this card in exchange for candy!” XD I love it!

I just wrote a post on 5 reasons to read ‘Frankenstein’ which would definitely be a seasonally appropriate read!

I try to do a themed horror series every October. Two years ago I did Frankenstein: the book, the 1930s movie, Monster Squad, and the 1990s movie with DeNiro. (Last year I did the horror stories of Robert E. Howard, and this year I am doing Dracula, although I’m only going to get up one or two posts.)

I recently posted a short, darkly comic tale about one man’s conversation with the trees in his garden.

I actually have a post that fits this week’s criteria! https://ofmariaantonia.wordpress.com/2017/10/27/fascination-with-scary/
I don’t usually like reading/watching horror. And yet, there is a fascination with this type of story. So, I wrote this post: The Fascination with Scary.

As always, this is super fun! I’ve never done any Halloween-related posts; it just isn’t my jam of a holiday. But I took your quiz! I’m a thoughtful witch. 😀

Admittedly I’m a few days late to the party but my post is finally ready.

I’ve recently gotten into the thriller genre and this post chronicles the hits and misses over the past year. These creepy books are perfect for Halloween, and most of them are pretty popular reads.
