What is the main focus of your site?
Scared Silly is a companion piece to Paul Castiglia's forthcoming book of the same name, all about horror-comedy films like the classic features "Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein," Cary Grant's "Arsenic & Old Lace” and Bob Hope's "The Ghost Breakers;" plus short subject spook-spoofs by comedy legends including Laurel & Hardy, the Little Rascals and the 3 Stooges; and such low-budget gems as "Zombies on Broadway" and "Bela Lugosi Meets a Brooklyn Gorilla." The book will include a foreword by noted film and TV character actor, monster movie memorabilia collector and spook show re-enactor Daniel Roebuck.

What are your blogging goals, personally and/or professionally? In other words, what, if anything, are you trying to get out your blog?
I love the classic horror-comedy genre and want to enlighten others that there are a wealth of feature films, series entries and short subjects that mix spooks and kooks.

Do you prefer an interactive community for your blog or are you the teacher and your readers the students?
The purpose is for me to watch and review as many classic horror-comedies as possible and give my thoughts on each, so I guess that makes me a "teacher" (for want of a better term).

How long have you been movie blogging for, and how frequent do you post updates to your site?
The site launched on Halloween, 2009.

Name up to three of your favorite movies (and no more).
"Local Hero," "The Third Man," "The Bride of Frankenstein."
