It's October 1st my minions and you all know by now what that means, thirty more days until Halloween!!! Boo-yah! 

As you can see I am not clowning around and excited for the upcoming Black Celebration. Yes I just made a reference to a Depeche Mode song that fits the season like that missing piece from a Jigsaw puzzle. (Yes, that was a Saw reference ; )

There are so many reasons to love Halloween more than Christmas. One is Satan, who is my favorite mythological beast. He gets a lot more play this time of year. Two is my favorite horror film of all time is named after it, like duh, the title is John Carpenter's Halloween. Three there is magic in the air, with no judgement calls on the source of it. Four is that Freddy Krueger will be haunting somebody's dreams that night, jamming! Need I go on? I thought not.

Cheers to the month of the macabre on Entertain Me I promise you lots of edgy & downright questionable posts from here on out. All bets are off, and no one is safe...so let's get the party started with Black Celebration below by Depeche Mode, Ghouls!

The title says it all, and this falls under the category of: just when you thought you've heard and seen it all, you thought wrong!

"The Christian Wrestling Federation bodyslams for Jesus-literally. On the surface, the CWF looks like a normal WWE wrestling event, with costumed characters jumping from the ropes and wrestlers being hit in the back of the head with chairs. Sometimes there's blood. Sometimes there's an elbow to the thorax. Except, these violent wrestling moves are all done for the love of Jesus Christ and to save souls." - Harmon Leon, AlterNet (September 25, 2014)

Wrestling With Satan follows the Christian Wrestling Federation as they travel across the US with an arsenal of hope, faith and professional wrestling action. From humble beginnings deep in the heart of Texas, follow this band of evangelical warriors as they pack up their ring and preach the message of Jesus Christ to hundreds of wrestling fans in small towns across the nation, savings souls with both head-smashing and Bible thumping. This is their incredible story of determination helping others grapple with Satan.

Clea Cutthroat's Top 5 Halloween Tricks

Tricks!
Photo: Daria A Marchik

No Halloween would be complete at Entertain Me without a visit from it's resident Burlesque Biotch, so without further adieu here she is all the way from Berlin, Germany with her Top 5 Tricks for the season, the girl who will tickle your pickle Ms. Clea Cutthroat...!!!

Halloween is when a ho can be a ho. A slut can be a slut.

Every nurse gets 8-inch stilettos, mice get lingerie, firemen come in daisy dukes, and a bloody tampon costume looks more like a cream dream.

I ain’t too proud.

I am one of those ladies who celebrate my inner slut, and wear my lip gloss, heavy eyeliner, 12-inch stilettos and black lace thong with pride...every damn day.

Throw on some animal ears, fake blood, and glitter and…boom!

I’m ready to trick, and to be treated.

However, since my daily work does involve rolls of duct tape, nudity, platform boots, blood and knives…Halloween is really something different (kind of). Well, at the very least, it’s a chance for me to give the performance artist a night off, strap on a fake chainsaw and let the dollar dolla’ bills rain down on me.

Michael asked me for my list of my “Top 5 Halloween Tricks”. Well, luckily Michael and I have bonded over a bloody margarita or five…so, as I’m perched here with my extra dirty martini, lounging in my favorite bloody couture and fluffy fur stripper heels, I’m feeling loose lipped just thinking about my favorite tricks over this ghoulish holiday season.

So many ghouls, too little time.

All Hail Queen Clea!

5. The first trick that comes to mind is “Candy Corn Nipple Guy”. This trick always asks me to suck on his nipples for hours! I swear, with him I always charge for overtime. He begs me to tell him that they taste like candy, but they taste like I’m sucking on a metal lollipop.

I charge per candy corn.

4. The next trick would have to be Candle Man. This trick is just freakin’ creeeeeeeepy. He’s obsessed with me dressing up like Elvira (THAT is not the weird part). The weird part, is that he gets dressed up like a pirate with a rhinestone eye patch, sits down on his vinyl brown couch, and just holds a plates of candles while I strip for him. When he’s really in a mood, he likes holding the plate of candles over me as they drip. Takes hours, and one time I feel asleep, but hey…pirates always have gold, and this fine boo-tay never leaves without anything short of a treasure chest.

3. My third favorite Halloween trick is Mr. Ding-Dong-Ditch. This freaky ass trick doesn’t even want me to come into his house! He pays me to ring his bell and run away. Every Halloween!

Easiest job I ever had.

2. Now let me tell ya about this next trick. Little Miss Redrum. She is insanely hot, but girl is craaaaaazy! She pays me to reenact The Shining with her. The twist here is that she lives is southern Texas, so since it’s always hot, she fills the pool with fake blood, so we hold hands and wear identical twins bikinis while chillin’ in the pool. I don’t get paid much, but she’s fine and she has a frozen margarita machine…good enough for me!

1. Last, but certainly not least, my favorite trick on All Hallows Eve would have to be Satan. Hands down! Dude is slick! Always rolls up in his silver Porsche, perfectly tailored burgundy suit, and a wickedly sexy smile. We drink dirty martinis together in the penthouse Jacuzzi. He asks me what I want, and I get it. Dude is nothing but class all the way! That other guy always makes me eat stale ass bread and drink table wine. I mean, every girl has the right to be glossy and flossy. Mmmmm, hold up…I gotta go move my Porsche.

Author M.E. Franco Brings It For Halloween!!!

Tombstone Hugger, M.E. Franco

Yes, it's that time of the year again Halloween! Every year here on Entertain Me I have fellow horror lover and author M.E. Franco stop by for some tricks, treats, but most of all fun!
M.E. is the author of the popular supernatural thriller Dion trilogy, Where Will You Run, Where Will You Hide & Where Will You Turn.
I asked her 10 Questions in the spirit of the season, read how she answered...if you dare!

MS: If you were a freak what kind of freak would you be?
ME: From a very young age, I've had this fascination with sword swallowers. It freaks me out and captivates me at the same time. I want to watch, but I don't want to watch, but I have to watch... I'm not the only one, everyone holds their breath when the sword swallower comes out. It's truly scary, but you can't look away. That's what I'd choose to be: the sword swallower.

MS: What did you think of the series finale of True Blood?
ME: Lame comes to mind, but I'll go with a bad vampire pun and say that it sucked, but not in a good way. I was disappointed.

Look, It's Reinn

MS: Which character in your supernatural thriller Dion series of books do you have a crush on?
ME: I really wanted to focus a lot on Raith when I started, but when I wrote the second book, Reinn stole my heart. (Don't tell Raith).

MS: If birds of a feather flock together, what do bats do?
ME: Hang out. (I'm full of bad puns today)

Adam Levine: I Win Satan!

MS: Satan and Adam Levine both want your soul, who do you give it to?
ME: Have to go with Adam, he has better tattoos Although I hear Satan is quite the singer.

Michael Myers Experiences Frequent Neck Pain

MS: Michael Myers asks you on a date with a nod and a blank stare, what is your answer?
ME: "I don't remind you of your sister or a babysitter, do I?"

Hey Drew, What's Your Favorite Scary Movie?

MS: Name one of your favorite death scenes in a horror movie.

ME: I thought Drew Barrymore's death in Scream was masterful. That whole scene with her was truly creepy.

MS: What type of wine do you enjoy with your Fava Beans?
ME: I think a nice, old vine zin would be a fabulous pairing, although I hear they also go well with chianti.

C'mon M.E. Show Me Those Fangs

MS: You have been turned into a vampire, what is the first thing that you would do?
ME: Bite Gerard Butler. Wait...that sounds creepy, but I don't think if violates the restraining order.

MS: Driving down a deserted country road you spot Morgan Le Fay hitchhiking, do you give her a ride?
ME: Absolutely I would! It's always good to have a powerful sorceress who owes me a favor. Plus, she could probably afford the Cheetos and Diet Dr. Pepper for the trip.

The Horror: Michael Shinafelt, Satan In Disguise

When Satan Met Me

The above title is the LAST time I will refer to myself in the third person during this post, to me that is more creepy than a Satanic Ritual...

So my fellow writer and horror fan-atic author ME Franco and I had so much fun with my Halloween questions to her, that she decided to ask me some, from one horror loving writer to another, oh but I have taken my love of horror to the next level, that's right, I have acted in a horror film as well as another one due in 2014.

OK, ME I'm all yours!

ME: Being a horror movie lover, I have to say you get major respect points from me for being in one. I watched the trailer for"The Summer of Massacre,"and I can't wait to watch it. What character did you play and how did he die?

MS: The Summer of Massacre is an anthology and I am in the segment "Son of the Boogeyman" I play a cop pursuing the Boogeyman and I start shooting him in the head and he just won't die, you know those Boogeymen, and he grabs my skull and crushes it in, it was awesome seeing my death on a 50 foot screen!

Me and  Scott Barrows Who Played "The Boogeyman" at 'The Summer of Massacre" Premiere

ME:. If you could star in the remake of a popular horror franchise, who would you want to be?

MS: Oh God, OK let me start by stating my ultimate horror role would be Satan, some people already think that about me anyway, ha! But in an existing franchise? Norman Bates from the "Psycho" franchise, I would give him my own spin, but what a fascinating character.

ME: What movie made you a horror fan?

MS: My Dad and I used to watch all the monster movies like Dracula, The Wolfman, Mummy etc. on Sunday afternoons, but it was the first slasher film that he ever took me to, and the only one that has ever scared me that made me a fan. The original "Halloween" I used to see Michael Myers face in the yard outside when it was dark for years.

ME: You do a lot of interviews. Who would you like to have on your blog for a chat - Freddie, Michael Myers, or Jason?

MS: Michael and Freddy are pretty much open books, I would have to go with Jason, try and find out more about the man behind the monster.

ME: Which witch would you not want to make an enemy of on American Horror Story this season?

MS: That's easy, Marie Leveau, I visited her grave site for real in New Orleans once when I went for Halloween, "Yes" I went to NO for HW once.

ME:. What candy do you have in your trick or treat bowl?

My Favorite "Dracula"!

MS: Mini Snickers bars.

ME: Love that more horror shows are coming out on television. What show are you most looking forward to this season?

MS: I'd have to go Team Dracula with this one, when I was a kid I used to want to be a Vampire when I grew up.

ME: Classic monster fight between Dracula, Frankenstein, and the Mummy. Who would you put your money on?

MS: Frankenstein is strong, but not too bright, the Mummy what's he going to do. put a band aid on it? I'd say Dracula, intelligent, supernatural powers and sex appeal, a winning combo.

ME: Do you have any plans to star in more horror movies?

MS: I shot another one this past summer that is due out in 2014.

ME:. If you could sit down and have a beer/coffee with anyone involved in the horror genre, real or fictional, who would you choose?

MS: Hmmmmmmmmmm....Miriam Blaylock from "The Hunger" that would be an interesting conversation, and encounter.

ME: Last question: What's your zombie apocalypse weapon of choice?

MS: The biggest shot gun I could find. It would be awesome to make their living dead heads explode!

The Horror: Does Author M.E. Franco Do The Monster Mash?

M.E. Franco "I don't want to be buried in Pet Semetary"

Fellow Horror lover and author, M.E. Franco is baaaaack, our nerd fest from last Halloween proved so popular, I had to have her back for round two of geeky questions about Halloween!

M.E. is the author of the popular paranormal romance/urban fantasy "Dion" series of books "Where Will You Run" and "Where Will You Hide".

Ready to do this again M.E.? Let's shall we?

MS: OK, since "American Horror Story: Coven" is almost here what famous witch would you                   want to be?

MF: I'd love to be Samantha from Bewitched. Not only was she hot, she could whip up a mean meatloaf. Not to mention being able to use magic to clean the house. That would come in handy

Raith, one of the "Men of Dion"

MS: What tag line would you have?

MF: Don't let the cute fool you.

MS: So we all know Chucky had a bride, what famous horror icon's bride would you want to be?

MF: Being a vampire fan, I'd want to be the bride of Dracula (hot Dracula though, not creepy Dracula. Definitely not sparkly Dracula)

MS: If you were trapped in a house with Michael Myer's and Fred Phelps who would you kill first?

MF: I think Michael Myer's and I would be fighting over which one of us would get to kill Fred, so I'd have to kill him first to get Fred all to myself.

MS: Whose your "Walking Dead" crush?

MF: I'm one of those crazy Daryl fan girls

MS: Choose the famous dead person you would like to most resurrect, Jesus doesn't count since allegedly he has already had the privilege.

MF: I miss George Carlin. I'd love to have him back.

Where Will You Hide: Book Two of the Dion Series\

MS: What character in your books is closest to who you are?

MF: Mari Lucas, the homicide detective from my paranormal Dion series.

MS: Do you ever think "What would Satan do"?

MF: Any time I want to indulge in chocolate.

MS: Which is scarier, a Haunted House or a Haunted Forrest?

MF: That's a tough one. I'd have to go with Haunted House because of the confined spaces and nasty basements.

MS: So, the moment of truth, do you do the Monster Mash?

MF: Absolutely!

TV Watch: Booooo! "Pretty Little Liars" Season Finale Next Week...!!!

There are always a handful of TV shows I can never get enough of and, yeah I think you have guessed one of them already.

I just love, love and, yes, love "Pretty Little Liars"...!! So well written, plotted and acted, with clever references, verbally and visually to the master of suspense Alfred Hitchcock. The people behind this show know their stuff!

So, as a fan, I thought I would bring you my 10 favorite quotes from this season of "PLL" ....

Here is my number 1 favorite and the rest follow in no particular order, let's rock this!

1) Hanna - "There's a downside to being too smart"

2) Spencer: Why do you even bother coming to church?

Ali: I like to cover my bets.

3) Mona: And who's looking cray-cray now, Spencer?

4) Spencer: Is she "Saint Ali" now? Are her bones holy relics or something?

Aria & Spencer, Chillin' 

5) Aria: I wake up every morning with the intention of telling him, and then I go to sleep every night feeling guilty that I didn't. 

Hanna: At least you have your afternoons free.

6) Aria: "Unable are the loved to die for love is immortality."

Hanna: That's creepy.

Aria: It's Emily Dickinson.

Hanna: I don't care if it's Santa Claus, considered me creeped.

7) Mona: Fear cuts deeper than a sword.

8) Hanna: I always hated biology. I mean who cares how a cell divides, it just does.

Look it's Mona aka Satan in Disguise

9) Andrew Campbell: Put on your Hastings face and spank her tomorrow night like I know you can.

10) Aria: Playing dress up for your man on Halloween is one thing. You do it any other night, you end up on an afternoon talk show.

Can't wait for the Season 4 premiere on June 11th!
