Happy Halloween
I'm sad we won't really be celebrating outside the house this year. Our neighbors actually had a huge party which made me super uncomfortable just b/c I could see all the cars and people mingling close together - and the kids even tried trick or treating at our place. I didn't even buy any candy, given that Trick or Treating had been cancelled. But at least there has been plenty of time for spooky movies.
The Addams Family (1991): I can't believe I haven't watched this film until now! SO wonderful. I loved everyone, I loved the aesthetic, I loved how much Gomez and Morticia love each other. No wonder this is a classic.
Hereditary (2018): This movie was a LOT. The first 3/4 of it was a study in severe trauma, which made it super hard to watch. There's one graphic scene that was absolutely horrifying and will stay with me, but not in a good way. I thought the ending was very weird and didn't fit with the beginning of the film, but I thought about this one for awhile after. I would not watch it again, that's for sure.
Beetlejuice (1988): Another classic that I'd never seen, but very fun. I laughed a bunch of times, especially with the office scenes and Juno. The pacing was great, and it was so imaginative! Beetlejuice was actually creepy as hell, which was a good thing by the end. Lydia was my favorite, even though she was over the top. I adored the feel-good ending.
Fortune Cookie (2016): This movie seemed like a rip off of final destination? And it also had some racist parts :/ I did laugh at a bunch of the characters though, and the campiness of it was fun at first but then I had to fast-forward a bit. Definitely a low-quality film, but the simple plot gave me some fic ideas.
I've also been really enjoying the spooky horror-ish podcast Lore. I already devoured the Prime show, but I just found out there's also a podcast! Some of the tales the narrator explores are familiar ones, but I appreciate the way the narrator speaks and I also appreciate the length at ~20 minutes each.
