As it got to later seasons though i...

    The Classics (and Classic Horror novels)

    In terms of "classic horror" i have read Dracula a few times and hated it more and more each time. It starts out good but the moment it gets to the girls section of the novel i get really bored really quickly. "Frankenstein" is IMO is a better written as well as a more engaging novel. Also if...
