Bits of Scary Wits
Greetings, ghoulish guests and welcome to my site blog! On this page you'll find links to the most recently updated pages on my site, as well as any special "bloglets" I add only on this page that may be of interest to you.
What's a bloglet, you ask? It's like a diary entry where I share either a scary site I ran across, a scary movie I just watched, a scary place I just visited or...well, you get the idea.
Thanks to The Thriller
We lost you too soon, but you're still here.
Your melodies play on in our hearts and in our ears.
Thanks for the magical moves and the tunes were so "killer"
When it comes to entertainers, there'll never again be such a Thriller.

Live Scare Cams Page Updated!
Hello dear fright fans, I'm pleased to announce that the haunted house live feeds page has just been updated for Halloween 2007! I've just watched all four of the live feeds and they are all working great! The first three have the best video but no sound unfortunately (probably set up that way). The fourth one, Bates Motel, has sound but pretty dark and hard to see as much but the audio helps make up for it! Check 'em out!!!
Sorry I've been out of pocket for awhile...been busy editing my horror flick. But will be adding more here as I can before Halloween so keep checking back!

My New Horror Movie
Whew! Just wrapped up principal photography on my horror movie. :-) Now, on to editing, adding sound effects, pre-screening, etc.
Love it or hate it, you haven't seen anything like this one before. I'm confident of that! ;-)
If you prefer your scary movies to be more cerebral with build-up and "atmosphere" over the gore fare we've been seeing lately, you may just like this movie! If you enjoy supernatural horror like The Exorcist, The Omen, The Blair Witch Project, and Rosemary's Baby, you just might want to check this movie out when it premieres, so stay tuned!
To be among the first getting more info as it becomes available, be sure to sign up for my Fright Club ezine. That's the vehicle I'll be using to collect the emails of people interested in my upcoming spooky flick and keep them posted on the movie's progress.
And one lucky person who signs up after today's date (8/21/07) will win either a copy of the DVD or poster autographed by the cast (when they are released and sorry, no ETA as of yet...hey, I still have to get the footage edited after all. :-)

But this is good news overall because the new site means faster posting of your questions, faster responses by your favorite horror movie fiend (Burt), AND... now you and other fright fans around the world can quickly chime in and help provide answers to questions too! Believe me, with the volume of questions, you're help is needed!
Plus, being on it's own domain will bring in even more visitors allowing for a greater chance someone will be familiar with your long lost horror movie. And there'll be even more people to discuss your favorite horror flicks!
So, come join the fun and register now at the new forum to get your own free account and check out all the cool features it offers (to see all of the news fader feature, you'll need Firefox's browser).
I'm even going to carry over the prize giveaway tradition to this new site too! To jump start things, I'll be giving a cool prize away to whomever helps answer the most questions between now and New Year's Day (not just random guesses, of course--some level of accuracy is required naturally).
So come check it all out now and bookmark the new site using the tags provided to your favorite social bookmarking sites so you'll always be able to find The Vault again quickly.

Something Scary This Way Comes...
Just a quick note to mention a couple things as Halloween rapidly approaches!
First, my apologies for the delay in responding to your emails and updating the site with your submissions recently.
Truth is, I've been feverishly working on not only trying to keep up with this site, but to finish my new haunted house site in time to be useful for Halloween.
Well, the new site may not be useful in time for *this* year's Halloween haunted house season, but it will feature more than just those anyway. It will also be your guide to year-round "scary places" and attractions, not just Halloween haunts.
I've also been busy working on the first issue of the Fright Club ezine. Hope to have it go out before Halloween if possible to introduce you to my new "haunted house" site.
And don't forget...Fright Club is where I'll have the horror movie trivia contest where I'm giving away a brand-new Horrorivia game set! Click the link below to read my review. So be sure you're signed up to receive it if you haven't already (it's free, of course).
Speaking of contests, I've now got a pretty decent prize package put together for the winner of this Halloween's Prize Giveaway. Check out the Win Free Stuff page for details.
Your favorite horror movie fiend Burt has been emailing most of you directly the answers to your scary movie questions. I'll be back to posting his replies in Burt's Horror Movie Trivia Vault ASAP.
Beyond Halloween, I've got some other new sections in mind for this site. In fact, I've got so many ideas on new exciting additions to Scared-Out-of-Your-Wits.com, that I may need to create a poll to have you help me narrow down where I should start! After all, it's just me operating this site in my spare time so I need your help deciding where to invest my time in building this site. :-)
In short, some good-n-scary things are coming this way so stay tuned!
Dan

Scary Greetings are here!
I've finally gotten around to making my very own, first flash prank! It may be a little rough around the edges, but hopefully not too bad for a first effort.
This first one is a generic e-card that can be used for birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, etc. If it's well-received, I may make more.
So, if you like this one and want to see a whole section of Scary Greetings for everything from Valentine's Day to Christmas to Boss' Day (LoL!), be sure to link to my pages from your forum posts, blogs, websites, etc.! Your links to my pages are what will keep this site going and bringing you more scary fun!

Species II
I watched this one on AMC this weekend. James Cromwell appears in this flick that I think most fans of scary sci-fi movies would find entertaining.
Fans of Alien might especially enjoy it (or hate it as the case may be) as it borrows a lot from that franchise, even down to hiring H.R. Giger (who designed the original "Alien") to design the aliens in Species II. While this film may be no "Alien", it's still got some scenes you'll enjoy on a night when the pickings are slim.
