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

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

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

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

Oct 2 - Sleepy Hollow. I'm sort of amazed I haven't been watching this every year. It's a perfect Halloween movie, made by the ultimate spooky director, with the best cast and ALL the autumn vibes. Must remember to add this to the regular Fall rotation. #31DaysOfHorror 🎃🎃🎃 #okbye

Oct 1 - The Witch (or VVitch if you prefer). Actually paid attention all the way through this time and it was better (spookier) than I remembered. Ending was definitely happier than I first thought - girl finally found her coven 🙌🤝💅🤘#31DaysOfHorror #SeasonOfTheWitch 🧹 #okbye

Started a seasonal movie watchalong using this list, in which each day has a theme with suggestions. Much simpler than trying to find exact movies on all the platforms. Just been too tired to actually post about it, but I'll catch it up soon. Happy Spooktober! 🎃👻🍂 #31DaysOfHorror #okbye

In case you're wondering which episode of OG Twilight Zone is the gayest, it's S4E2 The Thirty-Fathoms Grave. The doctor and the Chief cannot keep their hands off each other. 👀👬😍
