Boo! Good stuff for Halloween
Halloween’s coming up, and that means horror books and movies for many people. I’m a scaredy-cat and don’t like horror stuff, so I can’t make any personal recommendations on this topic.
However, Christopher, our resident enthusiast of all things electronic and downloadable, has put together a nice list of spooky (and delightfully vintage) e-stuff:
 |
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, by Robert Louis Stevenson
A story of split personality and a potion that brings out the worst in a certain benevolent Doctor. Download the silent film (1920) from our Library2Go service Download the audiobook from our Library2Go service Download the ebook from Manybooks (If you like good old-fashioned books and DVDs, we have those too, of course.) |
 |
Dracula, by Bram Stoker

Murnau’s silent film (1922) Nosferatu from our Library2Go service Download the audiobook from our Library2Go service Download the ebook from Manybooks (If you like good old-fashioned books and DVDs, we have those too, of course.) |

Or how about some zombie movies? Here are some oldies that you can download:

We could go on and on… but this should be enough to get you in the mood for Halloween. Boo! Enjoy.
