Tonight we continue our tradition of watching our favourite scary movies before Halloween. This time it’s ’The Others’. A moody ghost story which unravels at a delicious pace.

Why am I always trying to catch up on books I’ve bought but haven’t read yet? Well sometimes it’s good to visit the personal library and revisit some old favourites. Today it’s the #RichardMatheson classic ‘Hell House’. Let’s get ready for Halloween…
