...I thank you one and all...I am as always-humbled by your kindness...this yearly effort is the only writing I do, and I was intimidated to be the one leading it off-but I'm glad that somehow I managed...much encouragement behind the scenes helped as well....this was a great bunch this year and what a hell of a ride you all have awaiting you!.....
Howdy GNTLGNT, I thoroughly enjoyed the opening. It hooked me in and set the stage for whatever else is coming down the pipe. I like how you called the camera wielding vacationers 'Griswolds'...nice touch. I'm certainly no literary critic but I know what I like and I liked it! I cannot wait for the next segment. All the best, mal.
...again, I thank you all...after the initial flop sweat had cooled, I really had fun huntin' & peckin' that out....
Lou garooooooooooooo!

Another good step! Nothing like getting the main character in the water fast.
Yikes! I am on the edge of my seat! At least we only have to wait 24 hours to see what happens next!
Very appropriate dedication.
Awesome job by Giant. Nice woodchipper reference, but did I miss the cookie one? The length to me was perfect. Short, riveting and full of info.
Can't wait for the next part which looks like it has just arrived!!

Hey, Scott - great intro! Well done, you!
And to think Scott was a big ole fraidy cat about his writing the first year he participated in the Halloween story.

Wow, last gunslinger! Really creepy addition.
I really loved this....I see the silhouette of the church’s rotted steeple, its rusted bell silent now, beckoning only the dead and the damned.
Whoo-hoo! I think we are in for one doozy of a Halloween tale!

I'm on record saying this, but I'll say it again: Scott has a GREAT writer 'voice'. The ability to TELL a story--to leave the impression reader with the impression that he/she is HEARING a story, rather than reading it--is a gift. There are published, well-known (and paid) writers who can't do this. Technical perfection is important, but that can be learned. 'Voice' can't (imho).Hey, Scott - great intro! Well done, you!

He has some lovely turns of phrase, doesn't he?
Home run, gunslinger, nice touch with 'the Rom'
Awesome gunslinger!! Like CAT said the creepy factor is in!!
Who do I payoff to get the next installment NOW?!!!
