Apple cider donuts and\u00a0<em>The Rocky Horror Picture Show<\/em> are just some of her Halloween traditions &#8212; read on to learn more!<br \/>\n<span id=\"more-17469\"><\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>(Interview conducted by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.twitter.com\/BluGilliand\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Blu Gilliand<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p><strong>CEMETERY DANCE: When does the Halloween season begin for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CYNTHIA &#8220;CINA&#8221; PELAYO: For me, I need to feel it in the air, so probably around the time it starts to get cool in Chicago. I know most horror authors will say Halloween is all day every day for them, but that\u2019s not really the case for me. I need to feel Autumn in the air, see the leaves changing color and see them on the ground.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are some Halloween traditions you observe each year?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We do love visiting a nearby farm and doing the traditional Fall fest type activities, visiting haunted houses, a pumpkin patch, a corn maze, getting apple cider donuts. There\u2019s also an arboretum nearby we like to visit to see all of the beautiful color changes in the trees.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you decorate your home? A lot or a little?<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We don\u2019t really decorate a ton before Halloween because my children and dogs would destroy everything. I do like to decorate a day or two before, and that always involves pumpkins, a few of which we get at a local pumpkin patch. Admittedly, my house doesn\u2019t feel very Halloween-y year round. My house doesn\u2019t even feel as if a horror writer lives in it. I keep things pretty plain in my house mostly because I get distracted with a lot of stuff. So even my office is completely plain, just plain white walls with no decorations up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you dress up each year? If so, what&#8217;s your favorite costume you&#8217;ve worn?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes! We do family costumes. We\u2019ve done <em>Ghostbusters<\/em>, Universal Monsters, <em>Wizard of Oz<\/em>, <em>Nightmare Before Christmas<\/em> and more. I think our favorite one has been <em>Nightmare Before Christmas<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is your favorite Halloween memory?<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I remember when my dad bought me my very first pumpkin. I was born in Puerto Rico, but raised in Chicago. I must have been four years old and we went to our neighborhood grocery story and he handed me this small pumpkin I could hold in my hands. He said \u201cThis is what they do here,\u201d and by \u201chere\u201d he meant the mainland U.S. &#8212; that here they decorated pumpkins. We took it home and he helped me color a face on it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Are there any local (or national) haunts\/tours\/haunted houses you attend or would like to attend during the Halloween season?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes! We visit a local farm that has a haunted house for little kids and families. That\u2019s for the kids.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then with my husband and brother we\u2019ll visit the adult haunted house right outside of Chicago, 13<sup>th<\/sup>Floor. There are a few others in the area, but we just always go to that one since it\u2019s closest to us.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What stories, books, and movies best encapsulate Halloween for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><em>The Legend of Sleepy Hollow<\/em>\u00a0by Washington Irving<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>The Halloween Tree<\/em>\u00a0by Ray Bradbury<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>Dark Harvest<\/em>\u00a0by Norman Partridge<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And the movie\u00a0<em>Halloween.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you have stories, books or movies that you watch every year?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>It\u2019s the Great Pumpkin<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Charlie Brown.\u00a0<\/em>Randomly for me, I watch\u00a0<em>The Rocky Horror Picture<\/em>\u00a0<em>Show<\/em>\u00a0every Halloween for some reason. I just wound up associating it with Halloween because when I first saw it I was like 11 and at a friend\u2019s house around Halloween and ever since I associate it with the holiday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Since we&#8217;re talking about Halloween: what&#8217;s your favorite movie in the Halloween franchise?<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I like the original,\u00a0<em>Halloween<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Halloween III<\/em>, and I really enjoyed the ending of\u00a0<em>Halloween 4<\/em>\u00a0because it just showed how this monstrous identity could continue on with someone else.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Have you written any fiction or nonfiction involving Halloween?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I haven\u2019t, but maybe I need to change that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What projects are you working on currently, and what are some recent releases of yours you&#8217;d like to tell people about?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>Crime Scene<\/em>, my third poetry collection was just released from Raw Dog Screaming Press<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In January 2023, the reprint of my short story collection\u00a0<em>Loteria<\/em>\u00a0will be out from Polis \/ Agora Books.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In February 2023, my next novel,\u00a0<em>The Shoemaker\u2019s Magician<\/em>\u00a0will be out from Polis \/ Agora Books.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I have a few more things that haven\u2019t been announced but expect more novels and poetry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you know anything about Cemetery Dance, you know that the arrival of October\u2026The Spooky Season\u2026is a very special time of year for us.
