Watched it this year, instantly became one of my favorite horror movies. Surreal and ambiguous, high concept. I probably won't watch it again for 10 years because of the kind of creeps it gave me.

one of the few movies in recent memory that is legitimately freaky and bone-chilling. again this falls into the more moody/atmospheric horror. wouldn’t recommend if you really hate puppets.

I’m still watching them even tho October is over wtf??? I just can’t get enough. Recent greats include:
Noroi: The Curse (2005)
- Found footage… the climax is so good. Great for fans of ghost/demon stuff.
Pulse (2001)
- One of my favourite horror movies ever. Worms its way into your being. Some truly terrifying, iconic scenes and imagery, not to mention quite prescient in its message re: online connectivity and society. Really can’t sing its praises enough!
Ju-On: The Grudge (2002)
- A classic!!! Still hits. Quintessential haunted house domestic strife ghost story. Toshio 😢🐈⬛
Audition (1999)
- Probably my least favourite of this batch. Not for the squeamish. Still worth a watch if only for its feminist social commentary.
GonJiam: Haunted Asylum (2018)
- OK this one is admittedly kinda hokey but it’s based off a REAL location and the jump scares are amazing!! Some truly spine-tingling moments. Not recommended just before bed lol 😬 (Also found footage)

another found footage gem! this is such a slow burner and is great at unsettling you as a viewer through just cringey scenarios. i saw the twist in it coming from a mile away and it still managed to gag me.

I feel like 12 is a wonderful place to start. 1 book a month. Keep it in your bathroom. Beside your bed. Where you eat your meals. Please read this year. It's one of the best things you can do for yourself. and for me, and for everyone who you'll tell, I'm reading again, and you should read with me too. Take pictures or screencaps of passages and send them to your friends. Read funny, easy books, evil and upsetting books, books that are boring but are still satisfying to finish. Go to the library. Challenge yourself. You will feel better, you'll feel proud of yourself, and you'll banish the negative moodlet of being mad or ashamed at yourself for not reading. It's ok that you haven't been. You had your reasons and it doesn't do any good to beat up on yourself. That was then and this was now. Start a book tomorrow bc it is a new day :)

I don't listen to any AI generated playlists because I prefer to hear ones curated by people. I love sharing music as a human to human thing. It's also dismaying how music streaming services prioritize the songs of artists whose management pay them, etc.
It's so fun to simply browse anonymous person's curated lists instead on top of sharing with friends. It's never been easier to peek into someone else's semi-private music preference and walk their landscape. Just today I found a person who's made dozens of playlists for specific beanie babies (!), all with no saves or likes.
We don't need AI driven sorting to develop taste and find things we like. Break out of the corral with me and run free. Let's see what's over the hill
