It’s now three days since we’ve all got caught up in the ballyhoo, gimmickry, thrills and chills of the wonderful man that is William Castle! Today- I’m pleased (as Ruth at the house on haunted hill would say) as ‘Scotch and…’ to offer you these fabulous bloggers for your consideration…

So stay where you are… don’t go anywhere just yet

    1. Hello Vinnie!!! Isn’t it delicious when we’ve been touting this event for two months, Goregirl and I – and WOW Cracked came up with the idea to scoop 5 Top Castle Gimmicks two DAYS before our launch- they call imitation the best form of flattery don’t they. We’ve commented on their piece (which was quite good actually) and I’ve been tweeting the blogathon at them like pebbles at a windshield Still no reply- Oh well, Our camp’s doing just fine. Can’t wait to see your post on ZOTZ!!! hugs to your wonderful wife
