Friday- Scariest Book/Story You've Ever Read
Saturday- Scariest/Creepiest Place That You Have Either Been or Don't Want to Go
Sunday- Creepiest/Scariest Halloween/Samhain Songs
Monday- Scariest Movie You've Ever Seen

Ahem - a bit late so I'll do both at once.

I don't find a lot of those Hallowe'en/Samhain songs creepy. Instead, you'll have to cope with something from the H. P. Lovecraft Historical Society's A Very Scary Solstice album: Carol of the Old Ones.

And the scariest movie I've ever seen? Again, hard to choose. I do get grossed out by things like Peter Jackson's "Brain Dead", but that's different to being scared. I used to get scared by shock movies like "Terror Train, although that was more because I snuck in at under 18 :-)

Probably the ones where the worst of the nasties isn't done for hate or revenge - it's done for love. In which case, the utter best is the orginal The Mummy. Boris will always be a favourite (for personal reasons that some friends know), but this one has desperate, soul-destroying, life-eating love that will crush everything else ... Watch it. Brilliant stuff.
