i’ve decided i’m gonna post a horror movie recommendation for every day of october (i missed yesterday because of gainful employment so i‘m posting 2 today)
this movie is the ultimate slow starter and like a perfect lesson in building tension and atmosphere. then when it presses on the gas, it goes absolutely crazy.
If you want to keep things going post-Halloween—here are 30 movies we watched last month. Mandy, Opera, Blood Diner, Cruising, Repulsion, and Possession were my favorites 🖤 List curated by medulla_oblongata, oyyoyyoy, and myself 🖤
Honestly I could go on forever but these are the first ones I could think of… a related post should display below this one with some of my other horror recommendations
* Ernest Scared Stupid… very goofy. you can actually watch it in its entirety on YouTube… Eartha Kitt is in it…
* Scooby Doo and the Witch’s Ghost; Scooby Doo on Zombie Island; Scooby Doo and the Ghoul School — i was obsessed with Scooby Doo as a kid and these still hold up…
* Return to Oz — this movie is so fucked up and underrated. starring THORA BIRCH
* The Craft; Ginger Snaps — obviously. Listing these together as they’re both angsty teen movies
* American Mary — so iconic and very gory
* The Autopsy of Jane Doe — so scary!!!
* Red Rooms — creepiest movie I’ve seen all year but not in the way you might think…
* Malignant — best movie
* Suspiria remake and original — tbh i prefer the remake but the original is a vibe
* Oddity — fun and atmospheric
* Cure — meditative, deeply unsettling, even hypnotic one could say…
* Sleepy Hollow — incredible gothic Halloween vibes
* Strange Darling — FINALLY just released to streaming today I haven’t seen it but I’m including it on this list on a provisional basis because I’ve heard amazing things
* The Others — Nicole Kidman spooky period ghost film 😍
* Vampire’s Kiss — he’s a vampire!!
* Resident Evil Village — not a movie but I know you play games and this one is so silly and fun
* 🚨 UMM also the Silent Hill 2 remake is coming out next week 🚨
its so fun. theres so many types. abundant cheap options to get into. i recommend looking at jet pens website for both articles and pens you can buy. its a topic with tons of history, but is still modern and active. i have a kaweco aluminum sport which is my favorite but i also love the lamy safaris. could go on for hours about this lovely invention
it’s such a awkward marker of a new year. a weird mix of wanting people to celebrate you, but feeling tired of the obligation to thank everyone that only reaches out once a year.
i always find birthdays really hard, and fairly disappointing.
my recommendation is to give yourself grace, and do what makes you happy. i know it’s such a generic rec but this past year on the actual day i just took it easy, treated myself to some takeout, and watched a show in bed. a few days after i got together with friends and we went to a restaurant i love but they’d never really wanted to go to. and then we ate homemade cake and watched a movie.
sorry if this isn’t a very upbeat response (: <3
happy birthday!! and know random people on the internet are celebrating you (:
