    After the Harry Potter Trivia event, the community is dying to know what everyone's favorite fandom is? From Cooking Shows to Marathons, I bet we have a wide range of interests. Can't wait to hear where everyone's devotions stand.

    For me, it's either Cooking Shows or SCARY STORIES! 

    When I was a kid, I wanted to be a Scary Story Teller. It all started with "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," Scooby Doo," "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark" and crescendoed with "Are you Afraid of the Dark?". I loved going to the library and reading scary short stories or Goosebumps. In Boy Scouts, I made a Scary Story Box to keep all of my books and I still have it.

    For what it's worth, it's not the aspect of horror or scares that's appealing it's the group experience. I do love horror movies, but I would never watch a horror movie alone. Not because I'm scared but because so much is lost in the audience response. So, I love going to Haunted/Spooky event. The two best that I've ever been to are "Sleep No More" in NYC and "Halloween Horror Nights" at Universal Studios.

    I still collect horror and scary story memorabilia. My latest purchase is these fake Goosebump Covers of modern horror movies.

    Great question. Time to geek out.

    My favorite fandom is mildly obscure, but I've always been a huge Godzilla fan.

    Something as a kid clicked with me about a giant monster fighting other giant monsters. Felt like the next step for someone who started as a dinosaur nut. While the series is slightly more mainstream now thanks to the Legendary films, it still has that cool dynamic of having both widespread and obscure elements of it. In fact, that's part of what captivated me was how many films there are related to the franchise, many of which don't feature Godzilla (Rodan, The War of the Gargantuas, etc).
