31st October – First Spooktacular Halloween Advisory Board Meeting
“Some people are born for Halloween, and some are just counting the days until Christmas.”
Our Advisory Board met for the first time on the 31st October, we had a few apologies but overall it was a great first meeting, a chance to introduce on another, share current focuses, challenges and answer (for some of us very badly) Glenn Hapgood‘s Halloween name the classic horror movie from the taglines quiz:
1) Man is the warmest place to hide (The Thing)
2) In space no one can hear you scream (Alien)
3) He’ll tear your soul apart! (Hellraiser)
4) Sometimes dead is better (Pet Sematary)
5) Flesh to touch… Flesh to burn! (The Wickerman)
6) The night HE came home! (Halloween)
7) What happens when you sleep? (Paranormal Activity)
8) You’ll float too (IT)
9) Infinite space. Infinite terror (Paranormal Activity)
10) You’ll never go in the water again (Jaws)
