4//5
Just finished rewatching movies 1-5 over the span of a few days. This series is always so refreshingly terrifying for me, as I have had my own spirit world experiences in the past. The plethora artful shots, lingering jump scares, and the frightening score really came together to tell a beautiful but cautionary tale.
Highly recommend for horror lovers and movie lovers alike

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)

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 🚨

which I had shared with friends last October and I thought I saved it somewhere in my Notes app but it’s lost in the ether :( I’m a huge horror fan and former obsessive. I’ll recommend just a few:
Tod Browning’s Freaks (1932) — watched this on TCM the morning before my like tenth birthday party and it rocked my world forever… sad and disturbing
The Others (2001) — gorgeous gothic atmospheric soooo creepy and Nicole Kidman is a vision
Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me (1992) — details the last days of a troubled beautiful teenage girl named Laura Palmer… heartbreaking examination of traumatic cycles and evil forces. I would recommend that you watch the show first though 🤓
Barbarian (2022) — this goes against like everything you said you wanted but I have to put it on here because it’s so scary and expertly paced and filled me with dread but it’s also hilarious! It has to be my favorite recently released horror movie

Self care has always been an important form of meditation for me. Taking the time daily to water or style my Locs has been so fruitful in that regard. I’ve had them 7 years in March 🥹 they’ve taught me so much about myself, and I plan on continuing to grow them as long as I can maintain their health.

It’s addicting, especially having grown up on pokemon. It’s fun to actually play the game and collect cards for nostalgia ✨ get into it! I added a pick guide for your convenience

My PMDD hits and my Depression and PMS symptoms get so bad. I’ll always recommend a good twerk session to invigorate the organs and mind ✨ when in doubt twerk it out
