I think you are very brave to name yours! <br /><br /><br />I have never been bothered by the supernatural. I lived in a haunted house for three years in England so it was no big deal. Did the Dracula tour in Romania and while there were moments I got chills I wasn't exactly creeped out. With supernatural creatures there are prescribed superstitions that act to countermand them. You just have to know what they are and believe.<br /><br />Human monsters, however - serial killers, people who just snap, and other criminal types - now they creep me out completely because there is no prescribed way to deal with them.Louisa Cornellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12971924594129471055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-59020761662215574362010-10-20T22:16:59.030-04:002010-10-20T22:16:59.030-04:00PJ and Jo, thanks for clearing up the casting ques...PJ and Jo, thanks for clearing up the casting question.
