The final Shocktober 2025, after some things got shifted around in the last week. Lots of winners (stars), one noped-out-early (Calvaire), some blahs (Ninth Configuration, Spider Baby, a segment of VHS Halloween). MetaFilter's DirtyOldTown and @evandorkin.bsky.social inspired many selections!

A friend gave me this tiny cast iron pan, and it is the perfect single egg omelet pan, I use it almost every morning and it makes me happy. Some days it’s the small things.

Shocktober'25 has taken its final terrible form! Fresh from Tales from the Hood, which is astonishingly (and sadly) relevant today; plunging into the back third of the month with a lot of international movies, some gems, a time-shifted cinema viewing of Frankenstein this weekend, and more.

Stumbling through #Shocktober as we continue to populate the list, with #horror movies from every decade (and I haven't talked to @marisasandlin.bsky.social about the last few, so... subject to change). Some @evandorkin.bsky.social indirect suggestions in here, some from MetaFilter's DirtyOldTown.
