For some people, the scariest month of the year is October because, duh, Halloween. For those people, there’s probably relief that we’re now in November.
For me, the scariest month is November because
- duh, Election Day,
- President John F. Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963, and
- on that same day, I underwent my scariest heart surgery at age 10 to get my first cardiac pacemaker, which was scary enormous.
What’s the scariest is a matter of personal experience, perspective, and attitude. What’s the scariest image in today’s blog post?

Here’s what I find on YouTube when I search for “the scariest.”
Now I can breathe easier. Thanks to all who helped me create “The Scariest” post, including YOU.

Did Joan jump onto or off of the banister? For me, that was your scariest photo!
Alan and I are enjoying Portland, Oregon on our romantic getaway. So we missed Halloween! But our kids handed our candy at our house, back home.
Joan landed safely, as always, and I’m always grateful when you land here, Maureen.
I have startle response, so I’m scared on a regular basis )
You’re not alone, my friend!
It’s scary to me that Halloween decorations and Christmas decorations were appearing in stores in August. I’m fine with Halloween coming a bit early, but September is soon enough, and other holidays should wait.
Your comments are always worth waiting for, Chris.
I like that you turned yourself into Joan for Halloween with a little mask artwork, Ann.
I think your “Duh–the election” says it all! 🙂
