Print out stencils and drawing pins will make you a pro.

Watched Halloween Kills last night. Have realised that I appear to be accidentally doing a ā€˜new, but oldā€™ theme with everything so far.

26

Had a week off and made absolutely terrible process on the marathon.

I blame my partner studying for her PHD viva - how rude!

  1. Rec - 4 :bat: out of 5
  2. Sleepy Hollow - 3.5 :bat: out of 5
  3. The Frighteners - 5 :bat: out of 5

@HoldenCarver The original Scream made our list so we left out the newest one although itā€™s absolutely a belter of a film.

Halloween is everyday if you try hard enough so weā€™re binging the rest of the films this week :upside_down_face:

So I went for a pumpkin design related to one of my favourite bands - Descendents.

Smile was rubbish.

Barbarian was pretty good.

29

Iā€™d heard pure good things about Barbarian - cinema or home for viewing?

I genuinely prefer watching horrors at home - people being daft in a cinema screen can ruin the set ups.

We watched both in the cinema.

Smile was terrible tbh. I felt like that woman in the rollercoaster meme and wanted to speak to the manager.

Barbarian, whilst couldā€™ve gone further given some of the lines in the movie, was pretty good, some jumps and on edge of seat moment. Def recommend.

Time it right, at the right cinema (definitely not tonight for horror), and thereā€™s every chance youā€™ll get the entire screen to yourself. I saw The Nun at vue with my friend when that came out. Was just the two of us watching it. Great experience.

I watched it in the cinema, but for you Probably home, itā€™s a very suspense-driven horror so you wouldnā€™t want that but ruined (my cinema has a good crowd so I wasnā€™t worried).

Yeah my main cinema is in Glasgow city centre so guaranteeing an audience without someone daft can be hard.

Did anyone watch anything specifically spooky last night?

I watched:

  1. Tremors - 10 :bat: out of 5 (one of my absolute favourites)
  2. The Monster Squad - 10 :bat: out of 5 (another childhood favourite)
  3. Beetlejuice - 5 :bat: out of 5.

I was forced to watch The Conjuring on Saturday. With lights off.

Iā€™m still twitchyā€¦ and have yet to visit the cellar since.

This is the upside to having pets. Take them with you for protection. Especially a cat. Nothing would dare mess with a cat. They are evil incarnate, feared by other evil.

I have two cats and can assure you itā€™s quite the opposite. Theyā€™re useless with noises :joy:

If I need the toilet at 2am, I first hunt around the house for a cat to come with me. Whichever sucker decided to stay home that night goes on guard duty. :joy:

If the cats are out Iā€™ll bring the husky.

No ghost is getting me!

My partnerā€™s cat guards the door anytime I go to the toilet so I know he has my back if any ghost/ghoul/axe murderer tries to dethrone me from the Community/this mortal coil.

In other spooky news - I saw that Guillermo del Toroā€™s Cabinet of Curiosity has started on Netflix and the trailer looks amazing. Iā€™ll fire up the trailer in the Netflix chat.
