Aussie Readers discussion

Wow I love hearing about all the screenings/viewings of scary movies on Halloween! I can just imagine the atmosphere over there - awesome. This year it happens to fall on the same day as Loy Kratong over here so all those Halloweeny festivities got smothered by those little floats in the rivers everywhere :)

Finally made it. A day late, but better late than never :)
