Intro for newskis: I'm a Weird Old Lady and a giant nerd. I read a lot, I work in a library, I love horror and fantasy and science fiction, I knit and spin and I have approximate knowledge of many things.

Tonight's #Horrorwatch is a cheese-fest of mighty proportions - "Galaxy of Terror" (1981). It's an Alien rip-off which stars Erin Moran (the kid sister on "Happy Days"). I predict much snark will be enjoyed!

Watched del Toro's Frankenstein last night. Hm. Found Isaac's characterization to be interesting (compared to other films.) Mia Goth was a little flat as Elizabeth, but I can't tell if that was a directorial choice or acting choice. Clearly a loving adaptation. #Movies

This month's hair is Arctic Fox's "Wrath" (bright red) layered over faded "Ginger Flare" with black ends. I'm hopeful this will not turn out hot pink as red sometimes does on my hair. :crosses fingers: Guess we'll see.

I didn’t manage a spooky movie (too much people-ing yesterday; I needed quiet.) But I did finally read “Crypt of the Moon Spider” & that was super creepy! #Books

There were a lot of teens and young adults in costume, trick or treating, and you know what? I will forever remember the joy on one guy’s face when he said “Trick-or-Treat!” & then grinned & remarked “I haven’t said that in SO LONG.”

Decided to rewatch "In the Mouth of Madness" (1994) today. What an '80s soundtrack!
I remembered the changing painting & the old lady, but I didn't remember *Charlton Heston* being in this!
David Warner has the no-nothingest, throwaway role. Sam Neill was great, as per usual. Creepy & fun.

He is out and home; two stents in his hips; now he will set off metal detectors (his transformation to a cyborg proceeds apace).

Accompanying my husband to outpatient surgery this morning (then he has cataract surgery next month, and then another procedure in December. He's falling apart.)
Got my e-reader, my knitting, headphones, and face masks (cause if you think I go bare-faced in a *doctor's office*, think again.)

So I have in my possession a dvd set of an anxious security unit...looks pretty legit. I bought it online from the Mart of Wal for $20. Is it a pirated copy? Non-zero chance, for sure (it could have been released in another market, so I have plausible deniability.) Do I care? Well..... #ItsAGreyArea

So, #ShelbyOaks - very different from the trailer. (Mild spoilers contained herein; be forewarned!)
Appearances to the contrary, it's not a haunted house story. It's a demon possession tale (a strangely a-religious one.) I enjoyed it; been a while since a jump scare surprised a yell out of me. :)

Today one patron told they like my wig (it’s my actual hair) & two told me they like my “Halloween costume”.
Can’t find the appropriate gif; just imagine BtVS S4 Willow saying: “Still having to explain that this is just my outfit.”

I have tickets to see "Shelby Oaks" this weekend; who wants to come with me? I've been waiting for sooooo long to see this movie. I can't wait! (If only it was a double feature with "Dust Bunny". Alas!) #ScaryMovies #Horrorwatch

OMG, the horror TV series "Freddy's Nightmares" is on @tubitv.bsky.social!!! This is not a drill! Yes, it sounds stupid. Yes, it's so very very 80s in appearance. But it has some of the scariest dream-images, some of which have lived rent-free in my head for years. #HorrorWatch fam, heads up!!

Picked up "Hong Kong Widow" by Kristen Loesch. Set in three time periods (1935, 1953, 2015), this is the story of a Chinese medium who survives personal and political tragedy...and a bloodthirsty house, returning many decades later to face her past. Haunted house, vengeful spirits, WWII. #Booksky
