Last night we watched an old couple’s favorite, del Toro’s perfect gothic ghost story, Crimson Peak. This movie is creepy and romantic and tragic in all the right ways.

We also watched Talk to Me, perfectly effective horror film about spiritual contact, and The Crow, the most 1994 comic book movie ever made.

Partner and I had a bit of a Fairuza Balk-athon this weekend: this was C’s first time watching Return to Oz (a children’s movie too scary for its own good) and my first time seeing The Craft (a great 90s girl equivalent to The Lost Boys).
