I was Holly's age in 1987 and this is my copy of A Wrinkle in Time now. There is fun AND horror in seeing yourself in what is probably referred to as a Period Piece 🥹🥺🥰😬👵😅 I wasn't into D&D back then (too young/not enough friends) but I LOVED this book #CoreMemory #Camazotz #StrangerThings #okbye

*peeks through pulsing gate* Oh hey! I've been in the Upsidedown for the past week 😅 Just surfacing to note how much I love that the episode lengths keep stretching like Hop's waistline S1-3 😂 Makes the wait for Christmas' & NYE's movie-length episodes more tolerable. #GIMME #StrangerThings #okbye

Initial thoughts on Peacemaker: when DC stops taking itself so seriously, it gets 1000% better. I love dark stuff as much as the next horror nerd, but thank goodness they handed the reigns over to James Gunn, because Zack Snyder curved a little too emo to enjoy. #DCU #MyTwoCents #RIPPennies #okbye

In true ADHD fashion I got behind and abandoned the Halloween movie thing 😅🤷♀️ But I'm going to stop avoiding Bluesky in shame because Stranger Things is next week and I'm going to have THOUGHTS. Also because I just started watching Peacemaker and again, THOUGHTS. #TooMuchNerdJoy #okbye

Got a bit behind on #31DaysOfHorror due to real life shenanigans that involved an apple orchard 🍎 a pumpkin patch 🎃 introducing my 9yo niece to Nightmare Before Christmas 💀🎅 and trying not to buy the entire decor section of Spirit Halloween 👻💸 I'll double up this week to catch up. #StayTuned #okbye

Oct 15 - Coherence. Took this one from the list. Pretty good, a few solid creepy moments. The acting felt very improv. The characters seemed like the usual SoCal stereotypes, the ones most of us only know from meta films and shows 😅 #31DaysOfHorror ⚛️🤔😵 #okbye

Oct 14 - 30 Days of Night. I picked this for the vamp category because I'm mildly obsessed with polar night because I have reverse SAD & I remember really enjoying this when I saw it in the theater *takes a deep breath* Good excuse to finally watch it again 🤝🎃 #31DaysOfHorror #ArcticHorror 🥶🧛♂️ #okbye

Oct 13 - Frankenweenie. Picked this for Animated since it's one of the few Tim Burton movies I haven't seen yet. Hoping it doesn't trigger pet death anxiety (I have a lot of triggers y'all 😅). I'm sure it will be lovely and poignant even if it does, TB is very good at that. ❤️🩹🐶 #31DaysOfHorror #okbye

Oct 12 - Nosferatu (1922). I love this movie. Thank goodness for film studies introducing me to the awesomesauce that is German Expressionism. Cabinet of Doctor Caligari is another favorite. Watch that one if you're curious where Tim Burton got his aesthetic. #31DaysOfHorror 🤫🧛♂️ #FilmNerd #okbye

Highly recommend the Treehouse of Horror list on D+ (although the UX is clunky af) to help get in the Halloween mood. Not that I need much help, spoopy is my baseline. 👻🎃👽 #TheSimpsons #okbye

Oct 11 - Underwater. Trying a new-to-me suggestion for the Deadly Seas category. Hoping this doesn't trigger claustrophobia too badly 👀😬 So far I'm just enjoying Kristen Stewart's emoting. #31DaysOfHorror 🌊👻 #TheAbyssIsNotHorrorBTW #okbye

Oct 10 - Shaun of the Dead. Happy to stick to the suggestions for this one. It's basically horror nerd crack. It's so cute with all the little Easter eggs and film nerd tricks ❤️ Fun fact: I got to watch this in class during my film studies courses 🙃 #31DaysOfHorror 🧟♀️💞 #ZomRomCom

Oct 9 - Something Wicked This Way Comes. The Giallo category doesn't interest me so I'm substituting this because it recently appeared on Disney+ and I screamed. I loved this movie as a kid and haven't seen it in probably 30 years. SO EXCITED. #31DaysOfHorror #NostalgiaHorror 🤓🥰👻 #okbye

Oct 8 - V/H/S Halloween. Stumbled on this one looking for a found footage movie and while I think most of the VHS movies are great, this one was a little disappointing. Mostly just torture p*rn & the wrapping story was just goofy. Oh well, worth a try. #31DaysOfHorror 📼🩸 #TheyCantAllBeWinners #okbye

THE Suicide Squad (2021) is just... well, a waste of some great actors (Flula! Fillion! Rooker!) and also a lot of silly fun. With really no connection to the main arc that Snyder introduced in the E X T E N D E D Justice League. Excited for Peacemaker tho! #DCEU 🤔🤷♀️

Oct 7 - The Fly (1986). Watching this with some trepidation since I've never actually sat through it before. Also because I just ate dinner oops 😬😅 Hope the awesome that is Jeff and Geena get me through this 🪰 #31DaysOfHorror #BodyHorror#SquishyStuff #yuck #okbye

Oct 6 - Pulse (US). This is one of my fav US remakes of Asian horror and really underrated. The tech is dated and the science is a bit goofy, but it's so effectively bleak and scary that it works as late stage period piece (did I just make up a genre??). #31DaysOfHorror 📶👻 #Technophobia #okbye

Oct 5 - The Others. So creepy and weird the first time, so sad and fascinating when you inevitably rewatch due to The Twist at the End. All the fog and gloom make it perfect for fall. 👻😶🌫️ #31DaysOfHorror #CreepyKids #okbye

Oct 4 - The Thing (1982). What an absolute classic. I do seem to be losing some of my stomach for gore, but it's still such a fun ride (except the dog stuff 😰) that I can still appreciate the artistry even as I'm 🤢😅 #31DaysOfHorror #TheCrawlingHeadTho 🙌 #okbye

Oct 3 - A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984). I was OBSESSED with this movie during my young days of horror discovery. Happy to say it's still a fantastic movie with delightfully bad acting and questionable but fun logic 😂❤️ #31DaysOfHorror #OneTwo #FreddysComingForYou... 😶🌫️ #okbye

Ok so the 2021 Justice League really is just a director's cut then 😂 Same movie with some added details. Ooof, the DCEU is kind of a hot mess isn't it? #LateToTheParty #okbye
