My 31 Days of Halloween!

I decided to only do re-watches (so I can watch while chores etc) and pick random things I felt like revisiting rather than picking a theme etc. My all-time favourite horror film gets the 31st spot. Good luck to everyone else who is attempting!

I was awake until 4am playing Stardew Valley and I don't understand how

(Photo is of menu and not the film because trying to stream a film on a Friday with our terrible internet is a fool's errand and if I see the "something went wrong" message one more time I will scream so I'm going to watch it on my phone after this. Don't come at me, Scorsese)

Re-Watch 10 - The Blair Witch Project

What a film to watch when you're feeling stressed with your colleagues

You could tell them that you found a cure for cancer the same week you won an Oscar and they'd still find a way to be utterly miserable about it/find something to criticise.

I understand the irony of me writing a whingey, negative post about this but christ working with intensely negative, critical and fussy people is draining. Those three things are a terrible combo.

(the colleagues i love are not included in this, obviously)

But what about the strain on your poor wrists / danger of the book falling on your face when you read in bed

I want to be free to enjoy people having villainous arcs without feeling bad so-and-so won't be able to afford IVF etc etc.

That said it's the celeb version is quite luvvie so far isn't it. They should have scattered some normals in there too.

I like Celebrity Traitors if only because regular Traitors started to do that reality tv thing I hate where all the contestants have really serious/urgent reasons for wanting the money and the backstabbing etc becomes too personal but not in a fun way and I feel sad.

I think some people complained about this film, but I always think the Mormons come off so well in this. Those girls are so kind and earnest. (Damn it, Hugh!)

Yes! (It's a gorgeous edition though, and my much-loved paperbacks are extremely dog-eared and tattered)

Bonus Re-Watch - Heretic

I didn't put it on my 31 Re-Watches Halloween challenge but I really enjoy Heretic, it was on Prime so I didn't have to rent it, and it's a chatty film which is good to watch while (Stardew) farming.

Re-Watch 9 - The Witch

I love Black Phillip.
Also my friend worked with Ralph Ineson briefly for a thing she was involved in and she said he was very nice man.

I am once again begging British publishers to put blurbs on the back of books and/or stop cluttering up the design with meaningless pull quotes (especially from other authors rather than reviewers).
