Since it’s spooky season: what are your fav spooky movies / series/ soundtracks / books / fan fics? Fav horror trope / characters?

Oh ho ho so it’s spooky season 365 days of the year in my life!!

This is the kind of question that pleases my little goth heart 🖤

So I try and watch a horror film every night, I think I’ve ran out of them on Netflix and we’re making our way through the entirety of Shudder now.

I don’t have one fav I have a lot sooo

Slasher: Scream franchise, Halloween, Friday 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street. Happy Death Day.

Torture porn: Saw franchise (went to opening night of the new one I fully recommend it. I cried. It’s so good.)

Haunting: the Conjuring Cinematic Universe, Paranormal Activity series, It Follows, Th13teen Ghosts. God there’s so many ahaha

Found footage: Hell House LLC, V/H/S series and of course the og of them all Blair Witch Project. As Above So Below as well.

Demon films: Insidious series, I’m weirdly fond of the Pope’s Exorcist, Prey for the Devil.

Monster: Barbarian, House of Darkness, 28 Days Later, Shaun of the Dead, Evil Dead (the new one is SO GOOD). Cobweb.

—

TV: Haunting of Hillhouse, Bly Manor, American Horror Story to an extent. I don’t actually watch much TV ironically.

—

Books: anything by Shirley Jackson, i adore. She’s amazing. M.R. James. Mary Shelly. Bram Stoker.

—

Lmao there is a fanfic and it’s an old school My Chemical Romance one called the Unholy Verse. I could only DREAM of writing something that incredible. It’s haunted me for about 12 years.

—

Troupes in horror I love is things like the person you have been with the whole film is actually dead/a demon/the bad guy. I’m pretty good at guessing but still it hypes me up every time.

—-

Soundtrack wise I’m a bit weird and noises make me anxious anyway so not really 😂

—

Billy Loomis you did no wrong ♥️ he did lots wrong I don’t condone his actions.

Also, Sam Carpenter from the new Screams ♥️♥️

John Kramer is correct 99% of the time I won’t hear of it.

—

I do spooky ghost/macabre tours where I am a grisly history fan as well.

—

You’re probably thinking Cee is there anything you don’t like?

Yes, I don’t like artsy horror. I hated Skinamarink - I know it was critically acclaimed but no. I wasn’t crazy on Noroi - The Curse either which was a shame. I usually love East Asian horror ☹️

RIGHT I’m going to stop talking now, I think I’ve probably creeped you all out.

Anyway, horror and macabre my beloved 🖤♥️

List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the ask box of the last 10 people who rebblogged something from you. Get to know your mutuals and your followers ✨

Sorry it’s been a while since I’ve been properly on here! I hope you all like this (it’s very hard to decide on just five things, so here we go lol) (also please keep in mind this isn’t in some kind of favorite order or anything; it can go in any order since these are all pretty important to me):

1. Books. Collecting them, reading them (when I’m able to; I’m not always in a good head space to do so, especially this year). I love researching them, figuring out what else to read, what other editions of favorite stories to collect. I love coming up with different ways to display them. By author? Alphabetically? By genre? Who knows what my brain wants to do next lol. I have SO MANY FAVORITES and whenever someone asks me what my favorite book is I freeze and forget every single book I’ve read before lmao. I can’t just choose one!

2. My cats. I have four and live with three. Long story short, my first girl, a medium-haired tortie named Calypso, lives with my mom and I live with Panda (all black, short-haired), Mew (all black, medium-haired), and Maybelle (tabby and white, short-haired). Calypso doesn’t live with us because she does NOT like other cats lol she is very much her own woman. Panda is 13 and a grumpy, yet soft, old man who loves sitting in my lap. We just got Mew and Maybelle in July and Mew just does her own thing and Maybelle is neurotic af and had a rocky start with the other two so now neither of them really like her that much, but she adores my husband so now she acts like his puppy lol. Hopefully as time goes by this will get better! They’re all so sweet and adorable.

3. My husband. I know it’s cliche af, but he understands me more than my own family. We’ve had plenty of struggles; both of us are clearly neurodivergent; but it’s clear we’ll stick by each other through basically anything. I can talk to him and he’ll listen. Our privates jokes are silly. I repeat my favorite things over and over and over and over and he’s more than okay with that. Is the bar low for cis men? Quite often I believe it is. But he sees his issues and wants to work on them. He identifies them and talks to me. I love him dearly. We got married two years ago and bought a house together about eight months after that (we’ve been planning to do both for some time). We’ve been married for over two years and together for five. I want this to be a lifetime for both of us :)

4. Favorite aesthetic and nerdy things. This includes books as already mentioned; spooky, witchy, Halloween things and aesthetic; Nintendo, especially Animal Crossing, Mario, and Legend of Zelda games and merch; anime, especially slice of life, horror (supernatural horror is the best), certain sci-fi and fantasy, and comedy; Studio Ghibli and Sailor Moon are very important; I love soft cores like cottage core, forest core, faerie core, goblin core, grandma core, etc (like pics and fashion, etc); Ty Beanie Babies up until about 2008 (these new ones with the huge eyes just don’t hold the same magic for me, but I HAVE purchased a few of them, including a couple of red and black dragons that remind me of Ben Solo/Kylo Ren lol; it may have something to do with getting older/not liking change, but the Beanie Babies themselves just aren’t the same quality as 20 years ago; remember going to Hallmark and finding a beautiful selection? They smelled so good and it was fun seeing the variety); shows/series like Star Trek, Masterpiece Theatre, Foyle’s War, The Inspector Lynley Mysteries, Scooby-Doo (Where Are You? The New Scooby-Doo Movies, A Pup Named, and Mystery Incorporated are my top favs), Courage the Cowardly Dog, Bob’s Burgers, IT Crowd, Whose Line is it Anyway?, Buzzfeed Unsolved (supernatural is the best one lol), Unsolved Mysteries (the new Netflix series is very good, but I got a soft spot for the old Robert Stack episodes; hello, blaming drugs and Satanic cults on all the problems people dealt with in the 80s and 90s lmao), The Golden Girls, and any others I can’t think of right now; movies like Lord of the Rings (The Fellowship is the best to me) Jaws, the first three Jurassic Park films, The Mummy and The Mummy Returns (it’s not right without Imhotep or Rachel Weisz as Evey), The Conjuring universe films (I’ve enjoyed all of them so far), Sleepy Hollow, Paranormal Activity, Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, oh my goodness there are too many to list here!

5. Staying cozy on cold days. Bundled up under thick blankets while wearing a hoodie or sweater with a warm cuppa tea and a cat in my lap. I love black teas like English breakfast, and a wide variety of herbals especially fruity ones. Our house doesn’t have the best insulation and we both get cold fairly easily lol so staying warm is a top priority. Hopefully soon I’ll be in a better head space to read on top of all of this while staying warm. 

I hope you all liked this! It was a long read, but I’m better at letting all of my thoughts out like this instead of short bursts like a tweet, no matter how addicting Twitter is lolol. Thanks for reading, and the ask! ^_^
