Go Horror or Go Home! With Author M. E. Franco

Jack Skellington Says: "Eat Me!"
M.E. Franco

Alright Minions, it's here. Every Halloween Season I get with M.E. Franco author of the popular supernatural Dion book series and ask ten questions about our favorite time of year. It's our Halloween tradition, what's yours?!


MS: OK, let's start off by addressing the elephant in the room. On a scale of 1 - 10, how bummed are you that we have to wait until next year to see Halloween Kills?   

ME: I was so disappointed. I didn’t realize how much I was looking forward to it until it got postponed. By the looks of the trailer, I think it’s going to be worth the wait though!


MS: Which female horror icon is your Woman Crush?  

ME: Kate Beckinsale as Selene in the Underworld movies. More action than horror, but she was mesmerizing. 

Marie Laveau's Resting Place 

MS: Name your favorite cemetery that you have visited. 

ME: I was actually able to do a tour of the cemeteries in New Orleans. It was really interesting to see the crypts that they use, since they can’t bury people underground.  Cemetery #1, where Marie Laveau is entombed, was probably my favorite. Would have loved to go back there after dark. 
 
Regan MacNeil

MS: You have three doors to choose from, door number one has Pennywise behind it. Door number two has Regan MacNeil (in her possessed state) behind it. Door number three has Donald Trump behind it, which door would you choose and why? 

ME: Door number three because I could totally take him in a fight.

The Book That Started It All...

MS: Any plans to do a fourth Dion book?   

ME: I hadn’t planned to initially. I did write a few chapters for fun, but I didn’t really have a plot. I eventually came up with an interesting idea for a story line, but finding the time to write is tough.


MS: Spill on what you consider the lamest costume you have worn for Halloween.  

ME: One year I was really busy, and Halloween was on a weekday, so I actually wore one of those lame shirts that say “This is my costume.” 


MS: The Tell-Tale Heart is under your floorboard, what do you do?   

ME: Time to move!! Don’t want to get caught.

Seance, Seance!

MS: Your having the old fashioned version of a Kiki, a Seance. Name three famous people you whose spirits you would call upon to appear, and of course why damn it!   

ME: I’d ask Elvis for a song, Mark Twain for a chat, and Patrick Swayze for a dance.


MS: Losing weight is a bitch. Do you choose a gypsy woman's curse, or blood sucking leeches in your quest to shed pounds?   

ME: After the lockdown pounds, I’d probably be desperate enough for a curse!


MS: OK, last but certainly not least. What are your special plans for everyone's first pandemic Halloween?  

ME: Eat the candy I bought for the kids who can’t trick or treat and look for a good gypsy woman.
