Hi All,
If you remember, my son Trevor is into monsters, vampires, werewolves,
etc...and is now requesting novels like The Phantom of the Opera, Mary Shelley's
Frankenstein, and Dracula. He is a fairly fluent reader but is very visual and
likes lots of illustrations (he will be 6 next month.) I think that DK makes a
few books called something like Young Classics that might have a few of
these. We've been watching tons of classic horror movies and I'm guessing that
Phantom of the Opera the musical is probably on video. I did find a great-looking
line of videos called Creatures Fantastic that features werewolves, etc...that
I'm purchasing. Any other suggestions would be appreciated!
We are having a Not-Back-to-School Picnic this week at a local park and I
have been notifying all the different local support groups and making fliers to
hang. I want my kids to feel like they also have things to celebrate in the
midst of all the back-to-school commercials and yellow buses.

We just found some fairly interesting monster movie titles at the Turner
Classic Movies web site.
You can purchase them at their on-line store. They have quite a few Ray
Harryhausen titles, if those are of interest.

Closer to Halloween there'll be more monsters on satellite and cable,
suitable for recording.

Oh yeah, I didn't think about that. I'm keeping my eyes open for the Making
of Thriller video. He really liked American Werewolf in London and I think that
John Landis was involved in both. I also think he'd like to see how all the
special effects were done.
