Top 10 Humorous Moments

As we prepare for the tenth anniversary of Bellairsia, we’re using our developmentally playful Twitter feed to share some memorable moments and commentary in the form of Top Ten lists.

It’s been said humor and horror play off each other and are often two sides of the same coin. These two extremes run rampart through a number of Bellairs' writings, where scenes can change from laugh-aloud funny to nail-biting terrifying over the course of a few sentences.

This month we present our top ten humorous moments - those that made us laugh or smile.

Editor’s note: we formatted our blandly-overworked Twitter feed years later. The tweets are gone but here is the original list:
