My opinion on some of the Netflix Sandman rumors
We fans donât have much in the way of substantial news about The Sandman Netflix series. All we have are rumors and gossip.  I have compiled some of the rumors here along with my opinions on those rumors. Consider this a disclaimer. I am only a fan. I do not have any inside info.  All the rumors here are ones that can easily be found on various sites online.  Now to begin...
Rumor: Morpheus will be captured in 1916 but will not escape until present day. Â
This rumor has been confirmed true by Neil Gaiman on his Tumblr account and other Social media websites. In my opinion this was wise because it enables Morpheusâ capture to continue to overlap with the real-world sleeping sickness outbreak of Encephalitis Lethargica. Â
Rumor:Â Michael Sheen is playing Lucifer.
This rumor was debunked months ago by Neil Gaiman but I surmised that the one who started the rumor had found out he was playing Lucifer for The Sandman audio drama and had gotten confused. I was right.  I DO however suspect Michael Sheen and possibly David Tennant will have roles in The Sandman Netflix series, just not the same role Michael Sheen had in the audio drama.
My Opinion: Iâm all for Michael Sheen having a role in The Sandman Netflix series. Him and David Tennant. Â
Rumor: Doug Jones is going to be in The Sandman as a supporting character.
This rumor comes from two clues. The first being that Neil Gaiman has spoken about his like of Doug Jones and Guillermo Del Toro almost did a Sandman adaptation with Doug as Morpheus. Doug Jones even brought this up recently, which suggests that the subject might be on mind. Â
My opinion: Doug is an excellent character actor and I want this to be true. He should be in Sandman. I love Doug. And there are plenty of characters he could play. Lucien, Mervyn Pumpkinhead, Doctor Destiny, various nightmares. Â
Rumor:Â Liam Hemsworth or Dacre Montgomery will play The Corinthian.
Opinion: I like Liam Hemsworth. He deserves a shot but Dacre is also good.
Rumor:Â Tom Sturridge is playing Morpheus.
Opinion: I am 90% sure this rumor is true. There are a number of sources claiming the same thing. Also just google how the man looks. I think heâll do a fine job. I thought Oliver Farnworth would have been excellent too but Iâm sure Tom Sturridge would be fine.Â
Rumor:Â The Netflix Sandman series will see Dream take many forms including a female form.
Opinion: This isnât really new. We saw Dreamâs feminine side in Overture. If it bothers you to see Morpheus might have a feminine side, you probably shouldnât be watching something like Sandman anyway.
Rumor:Â Death will be played by a black woman.
The source of this rumor comes from Neil Gaiman saying something about loving the actress chosen for Death but feeling some people will complain.
Opinion:  ...So?  Sheâs an Endless. She can look any way she wants. I would have liked to have seen Jamie Chung in the role though. She voiced her for the Death short that accompanied the Wonder Woman: Bloodlines Blu Ray.
Rumor:Â Morpheusâ extended capture will effect his reunion with Hob.
My opinion:Â Uhhhh Duh.
Honestly though this makes me VERY curious as to how their reunion will play out. I hope it is just as sweet as the comic.Â
Rumor:Â The Corinthian will appear fairly early in the series and even advise Roderick Burgess how best to contain Morpheus.
Opinion: Well, according to the leaked Corinthian audition this is true. I donât mind it at all. It makes sense. It fits.
Rumor:Â Alexander Burgessâ story is now more sympathetic and he as well as his father will age slower because of Morpheusâ capture.
Opinion: This seems likely based on certain leaks. And I kind of hope this means Morpheus will be able to punish Roderick and not Alex.
Rumor:Â Alex will now have an older brother who died during World War 1, a brother that Roderick preferred, and he takes out his grief on Alex in abusive ways. it also gives Roderick a new motivation for wanting to capture Death.
Opinion: This is likely true based on certain leaks from last February. I have mixed feelings about this because sometimes parents are just assholes. They donât need a tragic loss to set off their abusive behavior. It also made Roderick worse (in the comics) that he treated his only (known) son the way he did. Itâs been recently established in the comics that John Dee was actually Alexâs half-brother. I guess it all depends on how this is done.Â
I also donât think Roderick needs to be grief stricken in order to want to control Death.  This is a clichĂ©, a clichĂ© we saw in Disneyâs Gargoyles and even in Hercules and Xena. Someone loses someone they love and tries to capture Death in order to bring them back. Roderick doesnât need this trope. He was an occultist who wanted to be a big shot in the world of early twentieth century magick users. In my opinion that should be enough but Iâll keep an open mind.Â
Rumor:  They were supposed to start filming in May but it was delayed to late October because of Covid. Â
This one is true.
Opinion:Â Hurry up!
Rumor:Â Â Roderick Burgess has no real magick in the show.
Opinion: Sadly this is likely true based on a character description leak from the casting call. I shall miss seeing Sykesâ head explode... Honestly I kind of hope this is wrong. Iâm tired of magick being diminished in comic book TV and film. Â
Rumor:Â The first season of Sandman will combine Preludes and Nocturnes with The Dollâs House.
Opinion: This is likely true. Iâm fine with it. It might flow better for TV this way.
Rumor:  The âA game of youâ storyline will have trans people writing.
Opinion: This makes sense And this is pretty much already confirmed true.
Rumor:Â The Netflix show will have the same cast as the audio drama.
Opinion: Though I would not mind this, I know it is not true. This is likely the result of an IMDB listing for the audio drama mistakenly calling it a show and some fans mistaking that IMDB page as being the one for the Netflix series.
Rumor: The Netflix Sandman series is canceled and the audio drama is all weâre getting.
This rumor is absolutely false!  Itâs a stupid rumor made by those who had no idea the audio drama was happening before the pandemic even hit.  The audio drama is not compensation because there will not be a Netflix show. Both will exist.
Opinion:Â Shame on those leaping to this conclusion and spreading it as fact.Â
Rumor: A character named âAnnâ is being cast and sheâll be a major recurring character.Â
Opinion: Iâve seen this sort of thing before. Itâs how you hide what character they are trying to cast. Clearly this is a major female character for the show and probably was a name used as a place holder for Death of The Endless or even Rose Walker. Iâm not too concerned about this. Some fans are upset and already raging that theyâre making up a new character just for the show, ala Chloe Decker in Lucifer. I donât think thereâs anything to worry about here.
Rumor:Â Â Tom Ellis will not be playing Lucifer.
Opinion: Tom Ellis has wanted to move on from Lucifer for a while. He wants season six of Lucifer to be its last.  Let him move on. Neil Gaiman also wants his Lucifer to be different from the Lucifer TV show version. The Lucifer TV series deviated heavily from the comics and it might confuse people with the big differences in lore. It is probably for the best that Tom Ellis not play Lucifer.
Rumor:Â The Sandman is why Lucifer is being canceled.
Opinion: No. Lucifer has been canceled three times now. In fact the first time it was canceled The Sandman TV series had not been picked up by Netflix yet. Lucifer has had six seasons. For a paranormal police procedural thatâs a good, long, run. Not everything can be Supernatural.  Forever Knight (and most shows of that type) only had three seasons. Lucifer out lived the norm for its type of show and survived two cancelations.  Let it go.  Do not blame Sandman. The Sandman is what gave us Lucifer, not took it away. The Sandman is where the story of Lucifer quitting, opening Lux, and taking up piano came from.Â
Rumor:Â The Sandman is the most expensive show DC has ever made.
According to Variety this is true.
Opinion: It probably has to be expensive. Look at all the stuff they need to show us, the sets and special effects needed.
Rumor:Â Lucien might be played by a woman.
Apparently this rumor started because some of the Morpheus auditioners let slip that they auditioned with a woman as Lucien. Â
Opinion: Iâm not sure how I feel about this. I love the character of Lucien. A a woman version might take a little getting used to. I donât hate the idea, I just prefer how he appears in canon.  Further note, I kind of hope he has a full head of hair like he does in the recent comics. There is a very high chance she was just reading his lines since at the time the role being cast was Morpheus, not Lucien.
Rumor:Â The Sandman could air as early as Summer of 2021.
Opinion:Â *Insert bitter laugh here.* I wish...
Rumor:Â Â Alexander Burgess is gay.
Opinion: And in other news water is wet!
Rumor: Desire will be played by someone who identifies as Genderfluid or nonbinary.
Opinion: This is very likely true.

OB Rewatch: To Right the Wrongs of Many
Iâm not crying, youâre crying
You can read my first watch review, which hits a number of points I left out, here: https://lobsters-on-their-heads.tumblr.com/post/164138983111/to-right-the-wrongs-of-many
I loved
Sarahâs flashback scenes flow with the storyline, and inform Sarahâs current character. We learn more about her, and get answers to a question that hadnât occurred to me to ask - why did she decide to keep Kira?Â
Siobhan! Being the loving nurturing mother weâve seen her be for five seasons. Quite different than the woman we meet in episode 2, who was DONE with Sarahâs bullshit.
Sarah rummaging around the basement boiler room, fussing over Helena to get her the things she can, keeping her head cool and her voice reassuring.
Art: âAre you alright?â
Helena: âMost excellent.â
And the back and forth between Sarah and Helena bearing their children, with Sarah repeating the lines Siobhan gave her... I... *sniffles* ....
The shot of the twins
Art and Sarah delivering Helenaâs babies. They were, after all, the first two members of Clone Club that she interacted with. Sarah was absolutely the best person to do it.
Helenaâs stick figure mobiles
Cosima and Scott helping Sarah practice for her GED. Hell, Sarah practicing for her GED! Which she will eventually take, I know she will.
Siobhanâs portrait. Itâs her, a cup of tea, and her shotgun. Perfect.
Donnie is adorable with the babies. Itâs a damn shame we didnât see more of him being a father during the show (probably due to the availability or desire of the child actors).Â
The parallel with Season 3âČs opener
I loved the entire fucking baby shower. My favorite thing ever is whole Clone Club events like this. I also really hope that those judgey âfriendsâ of Alisonâs from Season 1 (you know, the living ones) saw all these random people streaming into her house, including a gay couple, a lesbian couple, awkward nerdy guys, a black guy with his daughter and a disabled girl, and a perma-drunk from the vague South. To say nothing of how those neighbors must feel about Helena.
Cosima taking Purple from Felix and immediately handing him to Delphine.
Love, love, LOVE Cosimaâs dress. Which was surprisingly difficult to get a good screenshot of while sheâs standing.
Finishing the show with the Sestras together. Okay, so the very final scenes didnât have them together, but you know what I mean. This scene was wonderful. Yes, they are going off and living happily ever after, but pain remains. Pain that is perhaps related to their fights, but not always. No matter what, though, they always have each other.Â
*cries again*Â
Helenaâs story about letting the babies eat sand! âWhere does this sand come from? I donât know, so I let them eat it.â We all know it comes from the bodies buried under her apartment.
I likedÂ
The camera circling around Sarah while Westboreland taunted her.
Sarah:Â âAh, shut up!â and then she smashes his head with a oxygen tank.
Kira being supportive and understanding of her mom. I like it because Kiraâs sweet, but I donât love it - Kiraâs a kid, and she shouldnât have to worry about her mom.
Helena offering Kira a jam burger and Kira backing up quickly. I hope that was improvised.Â
The contrast between the sunny family time of the baby shower and Sarahâs darker solitude as she approaches and enters the house.
The parade of people asking Sarah âHow was the test?â I like it for the comedic aspect, but also because every single person there supports and roots for Sarah exactly where she is. None of them show any judgment that sheâs taking her GED test instead of, say, her GRE.
Iâm as lesbian as they come, but I do melt when I see tough guys holding babies like this.
Sarahâs face as Helena starts sharing her book.
I didnât like
The placement of Delphineâs condolences to Sarah about Siobhan. Itâs been months, and Delphine has almost certainly seen Sarah before now. Itâs a nice moment, but itâs out of place. Itâs also one of the few times weâve ever seen Delphine and Sarah alone together, and I believe the only time itâs happened since the first episode of Season 3. Delphineâs sentiments regarding Siobhan are spot on, but itâs odd to hear her emoting like this to Sarah. Even in the rewatch, I was just as uncomfortable as Sarah was.
That Rachel couldnât come in. Obviously she wanted to, despite her claims to the contrary, and she needs the redemption that the sestras give each other.Â
Other notes
I see now that it wasnât the tray table Helena smashed Coadyâs face into, but the stirrup / footrest at the end of the bed.
Westboreland drones on about âI made youâ yadda yadda, but he did pretty much jack shit in the creation of the clones except maybe finance and protect. The Duncans did the work.
Pretty sure thatâs Sarahâs first kill.
Somewhere in the second half of my first watch of Season 5, I had this fic idea of Donnie and Helena going to the island to rescue Cosima and Charlotte (and Delphine). In that fic, Delphine delivers Helena babies, which is kind of what everyone on Tumblr wanted. Anyway, having Sarah do it here was actually a much better idea.
There was definitely infodump with Alison talking to Donnie about his new job, but Iâll kind of allow it since it involved pouring concrete floors, and... well. That is something he knows about, isnât it?
As cool as this board is for the show, Iâm not sure why itâs set up this way for them. They could store the info in a spreadsheet (Delphine already has it in the computer). The pictures are fun, but donât serve much purpose for their research. Like, they already know theyâre all played by Tatiana Maslany, so theyâre not trying to figure that mystery out. But maybe Cosima just likes to look at them?
The birthday card Sarah finds is tucked into the same book that Cosima read to Kira at the end of Season 2. Was the card in there then, or was it tucked in later by Siobhan or someone else?
And Iâm totally with with Felix on being upset about the boxes and the for-sale sign. Even if heâs not living there, a lot of the stuff was probably his once, just as much as hers. He deserves to have a piece of his mother to hang on to without Sarah throwing it away (which she totally would).
Ăvelyneâs probably doing an awful lot of this these days
According to IMDB, Lauren Hammersley is 5âČ9âł. See, this is why Tat always looks so short. Sheâs surrounded by really tall people.
Sarah had nothing to be sorry about when she snapped at Alison, who was pushing way too hard at completely the wrong moment.Â
Most of the Lyft and Uber drivers Iâve had would not have sat silently in the front seat like Yusef did. Rachel probably scared him into submission.
With a number like 274, I think itâs safe to assume that there were originally 300 Ledas, and 26 were either killed by Helena, by clone disease, or by something else.Â
Of course Ăvelyne speaks Spanish. Two dialects of French, English, and German werenât enough.Â
Interesting that the babies are Arthur and Donnie, rather than Arthur and Donald or Art and Donnie. I wonder if a certain US president influenced that decision.
I have questions
Why does Coady follow this asshole, again? Why does she do things that she, herself hates, like killing Mark? What does she get out of it that she couldnât achieve on her own or with a different crackpot? What is left for her here? Whatâs in it for that other doctor, too?Â
(really disturbing note - had the abortion gone through, would Kiraâs magical healing abilities have, uh... ? you know what, letâs not explore that too much)
Why does Sarah struggle so much with school? Sheâs obviously intelligent and able to focus on and achieve goals when she wants to, but academics seem to elude her. It seems logical to me that her attitude problems and academic struggles would be related. Then thereâs her anxiety (called fear, but really) and terrible self-esteem, and everything spirals, but it didnât always.
A few episodes ago, Scott or Cosima said they had 144 doses of the inoculate ready to go. In this episode, Scottâs worried about expanding the cell line any further. Does that mean theyâve used 144 doses? I doubt it. Does it mean theyâre just making shit tons of it? I donât know how any of this works.
Where is Felix living now, by the way?
Is this realistic for a glass eye?
I wouldâve liked to have seen
What happened to Enger, and Art seeing it happen. More than that, though...
I think this ep could have been a solid two hours if theyâd committed to it. The extra hour could include
Sarah, Helena, Art, and the twins getting out of Dyad, accounting for the dead bodies scattered around in there, and wrapping up whatâs left of NeolutionÂ
Delphineâs return from âFranceâ and finally starting a real relationship with Cosima. I want to see them getting ice cream together.
Also Delphine taking rocks away from the babies
Helena moving into the garage
Whatâs the plan for Charlotte?
How Felix and Colin became a couple
and still leave us wanting more. Plus, that Delphine / Sarah scene could have found a better spot.

Horror movie recommendations
This list was originally posted in 2017 but has been updated for Halloween 2018.
Iâve been compiling this list for months and thought what better time to post it than October just in time for Halloween? Below is 50+ horror movie recommendations and a smaller list at the end of non-recommendations.Â
Some general info:
This is a completely subjective list of my personal favourites and Iâm not saying these are the best horror movies ever, since thereâs still a tonne of horror movies out there that I havenât watched and everyoneâs preferences are different.Â
My general tastes lean more towards the slasher, psychological, supernatural/paranormal and thriller/mystery sub-genres, which this list will reflect.Â
Not a fan of found-footage, sci-fi, monster (including vampires, zombies, werewolves etc.) or virus sub-genres, so you wonât see many movies that fall under these categories.Â
I havenât seen many of the âclassicâ horrors pre-dating the 70âČs, so there wonât be many included.
All recâs include the title, year, genre, main cast, summary, IMDb rating and a personal overview (none of which contain any spoilers).
Movies with asterisks are ones I consider must-seeâs.Â
At the end thereâs also a small list of movies I advise avoiding and/or that have a better reputation than I think they deserve.
Amityville Horror (2005)Â
Type: Paranormal/Haunted house/Possession
Starring: Ryan Reynolds & Melissa George
Summary: Newlyweds are terrorized by demonic forces after moving into a large house that was the site of a grisly mass murder a year before.Â
IMDB rating: 6/10
This is your standard haunted house/possession film, but I think the acting from Ryan and Melissa is strong and since itâs based on a true story, itâs kind of chilling.Â
A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)*
Type: Slasher/Supernatural
Starring: Heather Langenkamp & Robert EnglundÂ
Summary: Several people are hunted by a cruel serial killer who kills his victims in their dreams. While the survivors are trying to find the reason for being chosen, the murderer wonât lose any chance to kill them as soon as they fall asleep.
IMDB rating: 7.5/10
A Nightmare on Elm Street is an absolute classic and a must-see for any horror fan. Admittedly, on my recent re-watch I found it more comedic than anything else, but Freddy Krueger still stands out to me as being one of the most terrifying serial killers from a movie. Freddyâs back-story adds to his creepiness and the idea of being murdered in your dreams is something thatâll probably keep you up at night, particularly if itâs your first time watching.
A Quiet Place (2018)*
Type: Sci-Fi
Starring: Emily Blunt & John Krasinski
Summary: In a post-apocalyptic world, a family is forced to live in silence while hiding from monsters with ultra-sensitive hearing.
IMDB rating: 7.7/10
A suspenseful and heart-wrenching movie following a familyâs survival in a post apocalyptic world. Along with Hush, this is the only horror Iâve seen to include a deaf character, which sets the entire mood for the movie in which the family need to out-wit monsters with super hearing. By far one of the best horror movies to come out in recent years.
Autopsy of Jane Doe (2016)
Type: Supernatural
Starring: Brian Cox & Emile Hirsch
Summary: A father and son, both coroners, are pulled into a complex mystery while attempting to identify the body of a young woman, who was apparently harboring dark secrets.
IMDB rating: 6.8/10
What I like about this movie is that the idea behind it is quite unique and slightly steps away from the traditional slasher/possession/cult sub-genres we see a lot of within horror. Itâs set in a morgue which instantly sets the tone for the entire movie. The build-up is somewhat slow but trust me, shit will hit the fan. The face of Jane Doe will haunt you forever and there is something inexplicably terrifying about a dead body having the power to wreak havoc, because how the hell do you stop it?Â
 The Boy (2016)
Type: Thriller/PsychologicalÂ
Starring: Lauren Cohan & Rupert Evans
Summary: An American nanny is shocked that her new English familyâs boy is actually a life-sized doll. After she violates a list of strict rules, disturbing events make her believe that the doll is really alive.
IMDB rating: 6/10
I didnât expect to like this one, but gave it a try and was pleasantly surprised. Itâs not particularly scary, more tense and somewhat creepy (if youâre like me and dolls give you the heebie jeebies). Lauren Cohan is amazing as the lead and thereâs a twist at the end that you just wonât see coming.Â
The Bye Bye Man (2017)
Type: Psychological
Starring: Douglas Smith & Lucien Laviscount
Summary: Three friends stumble upon the horrific origins of a mysterious figure they discover is the root cause of the evil behind unspeakable acts.
IMDB rating: 4.3/10
Iâm genuinely surprised at how low the rating is for this movie and how many bad reviews it has. Is it the best horror movie ever? No, not at all. But is it worth watching? Yeah, definitely. I went in with low expectations but it managed to keep me hooked until the end. The psychological elements in it are what make it so interesting to me. You never quite know whatâs real and whatâs not and I feel like the idea behind it is slightly different than the general ones that are overused. Thereâs definitely some jump scare moments in there and the concept behind The Bye Bye Man is very interesting (although more back-story and explanation to how and why he came to be couldâve improved it). The biggest flaw I can think of, which I can only assume is the reason for the low ratings, is that the acting is pretty mediocre and the characters are one dimensional. But for me that wasnât much of an issue since the plot was interesting enough to keep me watching.Â
The Cabin in the Woods (2011)
Type: PsychologicalÂ
Starring:Â Chris Hemsworth & Kristen Connolly Summary: Five friends go for a break at a remote cabin, where they get more than they bargained for, discovering the truth behind the cabin in the woods.
IMDB rating: 7/10
The ending of this film is slightly âehâ to me and gets a little out of control, but I still rate it as being a generally good movie. The cabin isnât what you expect and it will definitely play with your head.Â
Carrie (2013)
Type: Supernatural
Starring: Chloe Grace Mortez & Judy Greer Summary: A shy girl, outcast by her peers and sheltered by her religious mother, unleashes telekinetic terror on her small town after being pushed too far at her senior prom.
IMDB rating: 5.9/10
This is a remake of the 1976 original and I know remakes generally arenât popular or well-liked, but I enjoyed this. I havenât seen the original so perhaps my opinion would be different if I had, but Chloe Mortez does a fantastic job as Carrie, and you wonât know whether to hate her or love her.Â
Case 39 (2009)
Type: Psychological/Supernatural
Starring: Renée Zellweger & Ian McShane Summary: A social worker fights to save a girl from her abusive parents, only to discover that the situation is more dangerous than she ever expected.
IMDB rating: 6.2/10
RenĂ©e Zellweger is a fantastic actress and seeing her name on any movie is usually a good sign (excluding Texas Chainsaw Massacre). Her performance in this movie is great and the little girl Lillith will freak you out, because evil children are always more chilling than evil adults. Kind of has an âOrphanâ vibe, which is probably why I like it.Â
Childâs Play (1988)*
Type:Â Slasher/Supernatural
Starring: Catherine Hicks & Chris Sarandon Summary: A single mother gives her son a much sought after doll for his birthday, only to discover that it is possessed by the soul of a serial killer.
IMDB rating: 6.5/10
I feel like this movie isnât as popular as Iâd expect it to be amongst horror fans and I do kind of understand why. The idea that a doll would be able to over-power and kill a fully grown adult is ludicrous (and hilarious), but nonetheless this movie is a classic for the slasher genre. Itâs wacky, kooky and out there, but itâs supposed to be. Chucky is a comedic killer with personality, which is a nice change from the usual faceless, voiceless, killers that have no back-story or depth and just go around with a knife stabbing people. It probably will make you laugh more than a horror movie should, but give it a try if you havenât already. And if you like the first one, thereâs 5 more movies to watch. None are as good as the first and when it gets to the fourth and fifth installments - Bride of Chucky (1998) and Seed of Chucky (2004), it gets incredibly silly, but I still got a kick out of watching them. If youâre looking for a movie that will genuinely scare and horrify you, this franchise really isnât the right way to go, but it will make you laugh with itâs dark humor and it incorporates just enough gore to qualify as a horror of sorts.
Circle (2015)
Type: Mystery/Drama
Starring: Allegra Masters & Aimee McKay Summary: Held captive and faced with their imminent executions, fifty strangers are forced to choose the one person among them who deserves to live.
IMDB rating:Â 6/10
This is another on this very long list that was much better than I expected it to be. The premise is interesting and gripped me from the beginning. It keeps you in suspense throughout, but the ending is underwhelming and thereâs room for improvement. However, overall this is a relatively enjoyable viewing experience which poses many questions about humanity, morality and gets the viewer questioning what they would do in the same situation and how far we would go to survive.
The Conjuring (2013) & The Conjuring 2 (2016)*
Type: Paranormal/Haunted house/Posession
Starring: Patrick Wilson & Vera Farmiga Summary: Paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren work to help a family terrorized by a dark presence in their farmhouse.
IMDB rating:Â 7.5/10
The Conjuring movies are by far some of the best in the genre. Aside from the fact that Vera Farmiga is amazing and I love her, both movies have a strong cast of characters that make it easy to connect to the families involved as well as Ed and Lorraine. The stories are well written, thereâs lots of jump-scare moments and the fact that both movies are based on true stories taken from the biographies of the real Ed and Lorraine Warren adds to the fear factor. Iâm generally not easy to scare, but these two did get to me. Also, after youâve watched them, research the true stories theyâre based on, itâll have much more of an impact.
Donât Breathe (2016)
Type: PsychologicalÂ
Starring: Stephen Lang & Jane Levy
Summary: Hoping to walk away with a massive fortune, a trio of thieves break into the house of a blind man who isnât as helpless as he seems.
IMDB rating: 7.2/10
I actually walked in on my parents watching this one day and found myself rooted to the sofa, unable to stop watching. Itâs very, very tense, so much so that I actually stopped breathing myself in parts! Letâs just say that being blind certainly isnât a hindrance to this guy.Â
Donât Hang Up (2016)
Type: Psychological
Starring: Gregg Sulkin & Garrett Clayton
Summary: An evening of drunken prank calls becomes a nightmare for a pair of teenagers when a mysterious stranger turns their own game against themâŠwith deadly consequences.
IMDB rating:Â 5.7/10
I watched on a whim, not expecting to like it, but I did. It will keep you engaged and the anti slowly increases bit by bit. Thereâs also a motive for the person on the other end of the phone which you wonât necessarily see coming.
Emelie (2015)
Type: Thriller/Psychological
Starring: Sarah Bolger & Carly Adams
Summary: A coupleâs replacement babysitter turns out to be more than they bargained for when she subjects their kids to a series of twisted activities.
IMDB rating: 5.4/10
This is another I decided to watched on a whim, mostly because I saw Sarah Bolgerâs face, but I actually ended up enjoying it. Itâs not really that scary, but is creepy in parts and kept me hooked until the end. Once again, thereâs a motive and reason behind her actions, which is always more interesting than someone just doing something because they can or because theyâre bored.
Final Destination (2000)*
Type: Psychological/Supernatural
Starring: Devon Sawa & Ali Larter
Summary: After a teenager has a terrifying vision of him and his friends dying in a plane crash, he prevents the accident only to have Death hunt them down, one by one.
IMDB rating:Â 6.7/10
Iâm pretty sure everyone has seen or at least heard of Final Destination. Again, not necessarily a horror, but still has itâs moments and is a classic. Obviously, there are 5+ Final Destination movies now, which are all good, but the first is definitely the best. What I love most about these movies is how creative and unique the deaths are. You never know how the next person will die, but you know itâs gonna be epic.
Freddy vs. Jason (2003)
Type: Slasher/Supernatural
Starring: Robert Englund & Ken Kirzinger
Summary: Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees return to terrorize the teenage population. Except this time, they're out to get each other, too.
IMDB rating:Â 5.8/10
Donât let the slightly low rating put you off. This is one of my guilty pleasure faves. Combining two of the most infamous slasher killers in the world and the result is rather satisfying. Just like A Nightmare on Elm Street, this isnât a movie that particularly takes itself seriously. Itâs a fun ride and great to see Freddy and Jason go head to head in a bloody stand off.Â
Get Out (2017)*
Type: Psychological/Thriller
Starring: Daniel Kaluuya & Allison Williams
Summary: Itâs time for a young African American to meet with his white girlfriendâs parents for a weekend in their secluded estate in the woods, but before long, the friendly and polite ambience will give way to a nightmare.
IMDB rating:Â 7.8/10
I watched this after hearing good things about it and certainly wasnât disappointed. Not necessarily what Iâd class as a horror, but certainly a thriller and boy, oh boy, did this give me the creeps. The tactics that are used are so subtle and not in your face but so effective. The story will go in a direction you just will not predict (trust me) and will probably make you a little reluctant to meet your future in-laws haha.Â
Gothika (2003)
Type: Psychological/Supernatural
Starring: Halle Berry & Robert Downey Jr.
Summary: Â A repressed female psychiatrist wakes up as a patient in the asylum where she worked, with no memory of why she is there or what she has done.
IMDB rating: 5.8/10
This movie isnât necessarily the scariest, but has a strong cast with Halle Berry, Robert Downey Jr. and Penelope Cruz and will play with your mind, particularly in the beginning. Thereâs an element of crime/mystery as Halle Berryâs character tries to piece together how/why she came to be in the asylum and who murdered her husband, which adds to the intrigue.Â
The Green Inferno (2013)
Type: Gory
Starring: Lorenza Izzo & Ariel Levy
Summary: A group of student activists travels to the Amazon to save the rain forest and soon discover that they are not alone, and that no good deed goes unpunished.
IMDB rating: 5.3/10
It isnât perfect, but I actually liked this movie (I only watched it this year, 2018). I like that as far-fetched as it is, it also feels feasible in a way. For many minorities around the world white people are the enemy and if they had the chance to persecute them for all the suffering they endure at their hands, they would. Itâs dramatic and the gore reminds me of movies such as Saw and Hostel.Â
Halloween (1978)*
Type: Slasher
Starring: Donald Pleasence & Jamie Lee Curtis
Summary: Fifteen years after murdering his sister on Halloween night 1963, Michael Myers escapes from a mental hospital and returns to the small town of Haddonfield to kill again.
IMDB rating:Â 7.8/10
Halloween is the first horror movie I ever saw and is what piqued my interest in the horror genre. For that reason, it will always be one of my favourites. Itâs by far one of the most well-known and defining slasher movies and a true classic. The music alone will give you the creeps, but throw in a masked murderer (and one that apparently canât be killed) and youâll be in for a scare. As with most popular franchises Halloween has so many movies that Iâve lost count, but there are continuation issues with most of them and nothing can beat the original. The only other in the franchise Iâd specifically recommend watching is âH20: 20 Years Laterâ (1998), which you can watch immediately after the 1978Â original and still understand whatâs going on. This is the perfect Halloween movie (the clue is in the title) and itâs a tradition of mine to watch it every October.
Horns (2013)*
Type: Supernatural/Fantasy
Starring: Daniel Radcliffe & Juno Temple
Summary: In the aftermath of his girlfriendâs mysterious death, a young man awakens to find strange horns sprouting from his temples.
IMDB rating:Â 6.5/10
After the disappointment of âWoman in Blackâ I didnât have high hopes for this one, but I actually loved it. It had my stepbrother and I glued to the screen for the entire two hours it was on, which is a big deal since he can barely go without his XBox for more than 5 minutes. Itâs weird, out there and not what you expect going in, but it really just works. The fantasy, supernatural and religious influences create an interesting and unique story. It also manages to incorporate comedy with more serious themes and even manages to depict an intriguing murder mystery and compelling love story amongst all that. Daniel Radcliffe is great as the lead and this is the first movie I saw of his that really stopped me from seeing him as Harry Potter and opened my eyes to the talented and adaptable actor he is. Overall, the movie is a mish mash of many different genres and themes (so for that reason may not be to everyoneâs tastes) and I wouldnât necessarily class it as a horror in the traditional sense, but it has elements of it and definitely stands out to me as being a unique movie that is a must-see.
House at the End Of The Street (2012)
Type: Thriller/PsychologicalÂ
Starring: Jennifer Lawrence & Max Thieriot
Summary: After moving with her mother to a small town, a teenager finds that an accident happened in the house at the end of the street. Things get more complicated when she befriends a boy who was the only survivor of the accident.
IMDB rating:Â 5.6/10
I feel like this movie deserves more credit. Jennifer Lawrence and Max Thieriot do a great job and although it does take a while to get into the nitty gritty of the story, itâs engaging from beginning to end. And maybe Iâm just bad at predicting these things, but thereâs a twist that you just wonât see coming.Â
Hush (2016)
Type: Psychological/Slasher
Starring: Kate Siege & John Gallagher Jr.
Summary: A deaf writer who retreated into the woods to live a solitary life must fight for her life in silence when a masked killer appears at her window.
IMDB rating:Â 6.6/10
I saw the synopsis for this movie and didnât expect to like it at all. After all, how entertaining can it be to watch a deaf woman stumble about running from killers for an hour and a half? Boy, how wrong was I. Itâs incredibly tense, particularly in those moments where itâs completely silent and we get to experience it through the senses of the main character, Maddie, who is trooper and incredibly tactical and resourceful in her battle for survival.Â
Identity (2003)*
Type: Thriller/Mystery
Starring: John Cusack &Â Ray Liotta
Summary: Stranded at a desolate Nevada motel during a nasty rain-storm, ten strangers become acquainted with each other when they realize that they're being killed off one by one.
IMDB rating:Â 7.3/10
Incident in a Ghostland*
Type: Psychological
Starring: Crystal Reed & MylĂšne Farmer
Summary: A mother of two who inherits a house is confronted with murderous intruders on the first night in their new home and fights for her daughters' lives. Sixteen years later when the daughters reunite at the house, things get really strange.
IMDB rating: 6.3/10
The best new horror movie Iâve seen in years. In fact, I would include this in my top 20 favourite horrors of all time (maybe even top 10). A truly gritty, raw psychological horror with twists and turns that leaves you haunted long after it has ended. With all of the mediocre horrors that have been released in recent years, Incident in a Ghostland reminded me exactly why I love horror so much and does everything a truly good horror should do.
Insidious (2010)*
Type: Paranormal/Posession
Starring: Patrick Wilson & Rose Byrne
Summary:Â A family looks to prevent evil spirits from trapping their comatose child in a realm called The Further.
IMDB rating: 6.8/10
Thereâs a reason these movies have earned so much recognition and are included on almost every top list of horror movies Iâve ever seen. Itâs easy to think this movie will be your standard possession movie, but it takes it that step further by making you connect with the family and giving Patrick Wilsonâs character a personal journey of self-discovery and growth. He uncovers secrets from his childhood as he tries to save his son from the same entity that plagued him as a child. Thereâs three movies in this franchise and Iâd recommend watching all of them if you enjoy the first one.
Intruders (2015)
Type: Psychological/Thriller
Starring: Rory Culkin & Leticia Jimenez
Summary: Anna suffers from agoraphobia so crippling that when a trio of criminals break into her house, she cannot bring herself to flee. But what the intruders donât realize is that agoraphobia is not her only problem.
IMDB rating:Â 5.7/10
I randomly put this movie on one night when my stepsister was round just to have on in the background and before I knew it we were both glued to the screen. How it ends is not the direction you expect it to take at all and I always like movies that have a twist at the end. It has a kind of âDonât Breatheâ vibe with the intruders getting a lot more than they bargained for and just like âDonât Breatheâ itâll keep you engaged until the end.Â
The Invitation (2015)
Type: Thriller/Psychological
Starring: Logan Marshall-Green & Emayatzy Corinealdi
Summary: While attending a dinner party at his former home, a man thinks his ex-wife and her new husband have sinister intentions for their guests.
IMDB rating:Â 6.7/10
This is by far one of my favorite films I watched in 2017. Thereâs not many movies that can have me on the edge of my seat and questioning everything pretty much until the end, but this movie succeeded in doing exactly that. It makes you constantly question reality and whether the main protagonist, Will, is suffering from a psychotic break or his suspicions truly are justified. Iâve never studied film, so Iâm unable to dissect it in a proper or adequate way, but what I will say is there is something about the way in which itâs filmed, directed and edited that perfectly portrays the apprehension, uncertainty, distress and suspense, particularly from Willâs perspective. My one critique is that I feel the ending couldâve been taken a step further and had more surprises thrown in there, since it was so tense all the way through but became a little predictable in the last 20 minutes. Despite this, itâs a great movie and also a very interesting exploration of grief and how it can deeply affect a personâs psyche. Definitely more of a thriller than a horror, but I enjoyed it a lot.
I Spit On Your Grave (2010)
Type: Psychological/Slasher
Starring: Sarah Butler & Jeff Branson
Summary: A writer who is brutalized during her cabin retreat seeks revenge on her attackers, who left her for dead.
IMDB rating: 6.4/10
This is the one movie I debated whether to include, because itâs so controversial. The original was released in 1978 and this is a remake, so I canât speak to whether the original is better or to what degree the remake follows the original. All I will say is that itâs definitely not one for the faint hearted and Iâd recommend anyone that considers watching it to take extreme caution before doing so. The first time I heard about this was from my stepbrother who told me it was so brutal and graphic that itâs been banned or censored in almost every country itâs been released in and after seeing it, I can understand why.  I have a strong stomach and Iâve seen so many horror movies that it takes a lot for something to affect me, but this really did. And honestly, thatâs the sole reason Iâm including it on this list, because in my opinion, any horror movie that sticks in my mind and continues to haunt me after Iâve seen it is one thatâs done itâs job. The main warning I need to give is about the rape scenes which are extremely long (according to Wiki up to 30 minutes long), graphic and difficult to watch. There were a few times when I had to close my eyes and remind myself it was just a movie, because it really felt like I was watching this poor woman get raped and tortured. Thereâs a lot of gore too in comparison to most of the other movies on this list and the killings are very sadistic and violent. Basically, after the first 15 minutes this film is intense and horrific from start to end.Â
 Jenniferâs Body (2009)*
Type: Supernatural
Starring: Megan Fox & Amanda Seyfried
Summary: A newly possessed high school cheerleader turns into a succubus who specializes in killing her male classmates. Can her best friend put an end to the horror?
IMDB rating:Â 5.1/10
In many ways this movie is trash, but god, I love it. Itâs nothing how youâd expect a movie featuring Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried to be, which is what makes it so great. As always Amandaâs acting is A+ and although Megan is sexualised (as she is in every movie sheâs in), she makes a pretty convincing and at times scary villain that you love to hate and hate to love. The two actresses are the perfect contrast to one another, as are their characters and the dynamic between Jennifer and Needy is an interesting one to watch. Itâs definitely more of a parody or spoof than a genuine horror, but the movie owns itself and doesnât try to be anything other than what it is, which is why I think itâs so great. And despite being humorous and cliche in part, Iâd argue that it has itâs scary moments (particularly the scene where Jennifer goes to Needyâs house after the fire) and interesting characterisation for both the main characters, who are actually nothing but innocent victims that are thrown into chaos.Â
The Last House On The Left (2009)
Type: Psychological
Starring: Garret Dillahunt & Monica PotterÂ
Summary: After kidnapping and brutally assaulting two young women, a gang unknowingly finds refuge at a vacation home belonging to the parents of one of the victims: a mother and father who devise an increasingly gruesome series of revenge tactics.
IMDB rating:Â 6.6/10
This is your standard rape/revenge movie and reminds me of âI Spit On Your Graveâ but a tamer version. Itâs good and worth a watch but nothing special, which I base on the fact that I re-watched it recently and didnât even realise Iâd seen it before until over half way through when I thought, âHuh, this seems familiarâ. Before you watch, I should warn you that the rape scene is graphic and distressing.Â
Lights Out (2016)
Type: Supernatural
Starring: Teresa Palmer & Gabriel Bateman
Summary: Rebecca must unlock the terror behind her little brotherâs experiences that once tested her sanity, bringing her face to face with an entity attached to their mother.
IMDB rating: 6.4/10
This is another one of those movies I decided to watch on a whim, expecting it not to be very good and it actually surprised me. I really liked the lead character (which is a rarity for me) and got on board with her and her family. The âentityâsâ connection to the family is explored and itâs Rebeccaâs job to  save herself and her family from it. Not one for those scared of the dark (hah!).Â
Orphan (2009)*
Type: Thriller/Psychological
Starring: Vera Farmiga & Peter Sarsgaard
Summary: A husband and wife who recently lost their baby adopt a 9 year-old girl who is not nearly as innocent as she claims to be.
IMDB rating:Â 7/10
By far one of the best horror/thriller movies Iâve ever seen. Vera Farmiga brings her A game to any role she plays and this movie is no exception. This probably is more of a thriller than a horror and thereâs a slow build, but it will keep you gripped. Generally with most movies thereâs a level of predictability, but trust me, you will not guess the twist with this one. Itâs still one of the only times I can recount being truly shocked at a movie, and although itâs not necessarily scary, itâs incredibly chilling and might make you reconsider adopting in the future.
Oujia: Origin of Evil (2016)
Type: Supernatural/Possession/Haunted house
Starring: Elizabeth Reaser & Lulu Wilson
Summary: In 1967 Los Angeles, a widowed mother and her 2 daughters add a new stunt to bolster their seance scam business, inviting an evil presence into their home.
IMDB rating:Â 6.1/10
This is a very underrated movie. I feel like the title insinuates itâs gonna suck, but itâs actually really good. It has a similar vibe to âThe Conjuringâ with a little girl getting possessed, but itâs executed very well and has its scary moments.
Pet (2016)
Type: Thriller/Psychological Â
Starring: Dominic Monaghan & Ksenia Solo
Summary: A psychological thriller about a man who bumps into an old crush and subsequently becomes obsessed with her, leading him to hold her captive underneath the animal shelter where he works. But what will the victim have in store for her captor?
IMDB rating:Â 5.7/10
This is one of those movies where the only thought that goes through your head the entire time is, âWhat sick fuck thought of this?â. Dominic Monaghan is an actor I personally love and heâs great in this movie (if youâre able to overlook his poor American accent, which I admit I struggled with at times) and trust me when I say that how this movie starts, is nothing close to how it will end.Â
The Purge (2013)
Type: Psychological/Thriller
Starring: Ethan Hawke & Lena Headey
Summary: A wealthy family are held hostage for harboring the target of a murderous syndicate during the Purge, a 12-hour period in which any and all crime is legal.
IMDB rating: 5.7/10
Another movie on the list that I wouldnât necessarily class as a horror, but which is scary purely based on the fact that this is something that could feasibly happen in the future. All crimes are legalised for 24 hours and anything can happen. The summary speaks for itself really.Â
The Ring (2002)
Type: SupernaturalÂ
Starring: Naomi Watts & Martin Henderson
Summary: A journalist must investigate a mysterious videotape which seems to cause the death of anyone in a week of viewing it.
IMDB rating:Â 7.1/10
This is well-known within the horror genre, because it quite simply delivers. Itâs scary and every time I watch it I still feel a surge of panic whenever the videotape comes on screen and afterwards dread the sound of my phone going off. Itâs simple but effectively scary and a classic.
Saw (2004)*
Type: Slasher/GoreÂ
Starring: Cary Elwes & Leigh Whannell
Summary: Two strangers awaken in a room with no recollection of how they got there or why, and soon discover they are pawns in a deadly game perpetrated by a notorious serial killer.
IMDB rating: 7.7/10
Saw is another classic in the horror genre and one I go back to re-watch again and again. Itâs a gore fest and I donât know many people that have the stomach to sit through it, but it actually has a lot more to it than that. Thereâs a story behind Jigsaw, the killer, which is built upon across the franchise (Iâd recommend watching all of the movies) and even the victims have back stories that are sometimes quite interesting. Just like âFinal Destinationâ, itâs fascinating to see what the next death trap Jigsaw sets up will be like and whether or not the person will make it out alive. The music also gives me shivers whenever I hear it. Itâs up there with the Halloween soundtrack as being my fave.
Scream (1996)*
Type: Slasher
Starring: Neve Campbell & Courteney Cox
Summary: A year after the murder of her mother, a teenage girl is terrorized by a new killer, who targets the girl and her friends by using horror films as part of a deadly game.
IMDB rating: 7.2/10
How can anyone that enjoys horror movies not have seen Scream at least once? For me, this will always be at the top of my list as being the best horror movie. A strong cast, characters that viewers are actually able to connect to (Sidney is badass, Dewey is a loveable dork and Gale is that character you have a love-hate relationship with), interesting back-story that has continuity across the franchise (unlike Halloween) and a shit-ton of horror tropes classic to the horror genre that are both scary and at times funny. Again, Iâd recommend watching all of the movies in the triology (even Scream 4 isnât bad), but the first stands out to me as being the best, simply because nothing can beat the reveal of the killer.Â
Shaun Of The Dead (2004)*
Type: Comedy/Zombie
Starring: Simon Pegg & Nick Frost
Summary: A man decides to turn his moribund life around by winning back his ex-girlfriend, reconciling his relationship with his mother, and dealing with an entire community that has returned from the dead to eat the living.
IMDB rating:Â 8/10
Iâm not a huge fan of horror comedies, but Shaun Of The Dead is an exception. This isnât just one of my fave movies from the horror genre, but of all time. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are the ultimate comedic pairing and bounce off each other so well. The humor is spot on, actually laugh out loud funny (unlike Scary Movie), itâs cleverly written and witty, but also manages to incorporate an appropriate amount of gore and emotion. Just please go and watch this movie, you wonât regret it. Iâd also just like to point out as a final point, that thereâs a reason this is the most highly rated movie on IMDB off this list.Â
The Shallows (2016)
Type: Thriller/Shark
Starring: Blake Lively
Summary: A mere 200 yards from shore, surfer Nancy is attacked by a great white shark, with her short journey to safety becoming the ultimate contest of wills.
IMDB rating:Â 6.4/10
Now, Iâve seen my fair share of shark movies over the years and itâs an area I tend to steer clear of because theyâre inevitably always complete and utter shite, but not this one. I was pleasantly surprised at just how engrossed I became with this movie. Usually when Iâm watching something Iâll pause midway through to grab some snacks or Iâll browse social media for a few minutes, but with this I remained glue to my screen from beginning to end. I think what makes this movie so good in comparison to other shark movies Iâve seen is Blake Livelyâs performance. She does an amazing job as the lead, particularly considering 90% of the movie is of her on her own. Nancy is a pragmatic character that really fights tooth (excuse the pun) and nail to survive and she makes you really root for her. It does drag a little towards the end, but overall I enjoyed this movie and although I wouldnât exactly class it a horror, most sites list it as being so.Â
The Shining (1980)*
Type: Psychological/Supernatural
Starring: Jack Nicholson & Shelley Duvall
Summary: A family heads to an isolated hotel for the winter where an evil spiritual presence influences the father into violence, while his psychic son sees horrific forebodings from the past and of the future.
IMDB rating:Â 8.4/10
An absolute classic to the horror genre that most of you will likely already have seen. Surprisingly, I only got around to watching this in 2018 (although Iâd seen snippets of it before, Iâd never watched it properly) and it met all of my expectations. Itâs movies like these that represent everything thatâs amazing in the horror genre.Â
Sinister (2012)
Type: Supernatural
Starring: Ethan Hawke & Juliet Rylance
Summary: Washed-up true-crime writer Ellison Oswalt finds a box of super 8 home movies that suggest the murder he is currently researching is the work of a serial killer whose work dates back to the 1960s.
IMDB rating:Â 6.8/10
I only recently watched this after seeing it on multiple âbest horror movieâ lists and can understand why it was included. Although the build-up is slow, it adds to the tension and definitely has itâs jump-scare moments. Ethan Hawke as the lead is incredible. Even though you know heâs not crazy, you still find yourself questioning his mental health as he becomes obsessed with his work and in the process puts his entire family in jeopardy. I wasnât overly fond of the ending (a trend thatâs common for me), but overall itâs a good movie.Â
Split (2016)*
Type: Thriller/PsychologicalÂ
Starring: James McAvoy & Anya Taylor-Joy
Summary: Three girls are kidnapped by a man with a diagnosed 23 distinct personalities. They must try to escape before the apparent emergence of a frightful new 24th.
IMDB rating:Â 7.3/10
I was so so so so excited to see this movie the second I saw it advertised, (mainly because of James McAvoy, letâs be honest here), but also because it looked so damn good. As expected, James delivered in this movie, he really did. Portraying mental illness is a tricky task for any actor and a mental illness that manifests itself in 23 distinct personalities is even trickier to pull off, but James did it. I was gripped from the very beginning and found myself developing attachments to each distinctive personality that we saw. The end was disappointing since it got a little wacky and too far-fetched for my liking, particularly considering the tone of the rest of the movie, but overall itâs a brilliant movie that I would recommend anyone to watch.Â
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)*
Type: Slasher
Starring: Marilyn Burns & Edwin Neal
Summary: Two siblings visit their grandfatherâs grave in Texas along with three of their friends and are attacked by a family of cannibalistic psychopaths.
IMDB rating: 7.5/10
How could I not include âTexas Chainsaw Massacreïżœïżœ on this list? Itâs as defining of the slasher genre as âHalloweenâ (although in my opinion, not as good) and one of the first franchises I watched when I was first discovering horror. The 1974 original is the best out of the 7 films that make up the franchise which is no surprise. As with any long-running horror franchise, the movies span across 4 decades and thereâs huge continuity issues with each producer/director putting their own spin on it and a lot of the time failing to do it justice. I havenât seen all of them but have to warn you to steer clear of the fourth installment, âTexas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generationâ (1994), at all costs. Donât let the cast fool you, itâs by far one of the worst films Iâve ever seen and the 3.4 rating it has on IMDb is generous. The only other two worth watching in my opinion are the fifth and sixth installments - âThe Texas Chainsaw Massacreâ (2003) and âThe Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginningâ (2006), which in some ways I actually prefer to the 1974 original.Â
The Town That Dreaded Sundown (2014)
Type: Slasher
Starring: Addison Timlin & Veronica Cartwright
Summary: 65 years after a masked serial killer terrorized the small town of Texarkana, the so-called âmoonlight murdersâ begin again. Is it a copycat or something even more sinister? A lonely high school girl, with dark secrets of her own, may be the key to catching him.
IMDB rating:Â 5.6/10
I feel like most people would rate this movie as average or even below average, but you know what? I really liked it. Probably because Iâm a sucker for a good old slasher movie with a bit of history to the town/killer and thatâs exactly what this movie is.Â
Vacancy (2007)*
Type: Psychological
Starring: Kate Beckinsale & Luke Wilson
Summary: A married couple becomes stranded at an isolated motel and finds hidden video cameras in their room. They soon realize that unless they escape, theyâll be the next victims of a snuff film.
IMDB rating:Â 6.2/10
This was recommended to me by my best friend who said he was so scared by this that he didnât sleep properly for a week. I wouldnât go as far as to say itâs that scary (but thatâs just because it takes a lot for a movie to scare me), but it will have you on the edge of your seat. I do really like this movie for the fact that itâs so isolated and feels like something that could realistically happen to anyone thatâs on holiday in a strange place. Thereâs a pretty slow build too, which adds to the tension and fear. Definitely a must-watch.
The Witch (2015)Â
Type: Supernatural
Starring: Anya Taylor-Joy & Ralph Ineson
Summary: A family in 1630s New England is torn apart by the forces of witchcraft, black magic and possession.
IMDB rating: 6.8/10
This is a fairly new movie that Iâve seen come highly recommended so I decided to give it a try.  Since itâs set in the 1630âČs and based on true accounts of experiences with witchcraft during that period, it has a very historical and thematic feel to it. Anya Taylor-Joy is incredibly talented and fast becoming one of my fave young actresses within the horror genre. She does a fantastic job in this movie, as does the entire cast. The build-up is slow and very effective and unlike other supernatural movies I watch where Iâm usually thinking âAs if that would ever happenâ, thereâs something about this that feels unnervingly realistic despite how wacky it is. Perhaps itâs because itâs based on true accounts but the sufferings the family go through feel reflective of something that may have really happened in our history. I do have some critique when it comes to this movie though, the main one being that I didnât like the ending. It gets a little crazy and what starts out feeling realistic soon becomes very far-fetched. I also didnât understand the ending and had to do a little Googling to find out the meaning of it, which I feel is something that shouldâve been self-explanatory. All in all itâs a decent movie although it doesnât stand out to me as being amazing.Â
 Wolf Creek & Wolf Creek 2 (2005 & 2013)*
Type: Psychological/Slasher
Starring: Nathan Phillips & Cassandra Magrath
Summary: Three backpackers stranded in the Australian outback are befriended by a local who turns out to be a sadistic psychopath and will plunge them into a hellish nightmare of insufferable torture.
IMDB rating: 6.3/10
You know when you have that one horror movie that impacted you so much the first time you saw it that you never forget it? This is that movie for me. It still haunts me today, which is partly because I saw it for the first time at such a young age, but mostly because itâs based on a true story and could so easily happen to any one of us in real life. Just watch how the killer lures them back to his place, itâs so sneaky and clever and quite frankly has made me wary of ever accepting a strangerâs help if my car breaks down(!) As for Wolf Creek 2, as far as sequels go, itâs decent and follows the POV of the killer Mick from the first Wolf Creek.
Would You Rather (2012)
Type: Psychological
Starring: Brittany Snow & June SquibbÂ
Summary: Desperate to help her ailing brother, a young woman unknowingly agrees to compete in a deadly game of âWould You Rather,â hosted by a sadistic aristocrat.
IMDB rating:Â 5.8/10
I feel like this movie delivers exactly what it says on the tin. A bunch of vulnerable individuals who are desperate for cash for various reasons are invited by a stranger to engage in a game of âWould You Ratherâ in exchange for a large sum of money. Obviously the choices theyâre faced with arenât the traditional ones youâd expect to have in âWould You Ratherâ and horror and gore ensues. I think whatâs great about this movie is that it has you questioning what youâd do in this situation. If you needed money to save a loved one from a life threatening illness, how far would you go?Â
Youâre Next (2011)
Type: Slasher/Psychological
Starring: Sharni Vinson & Joe Swanberg
Summary: When the Davison family comes under attack during their wedding anniversary getaway, the gang of mysterious killers soon learns that one of the victims harbors a secret talent for fighting back.
IMDB rating: 6.5/10
Yet another movie I wasnât expecting to like much, but that pleasantly surprised me. Thisâll certainly keep you on the edge of your seat and the mysterious killers turn out to not be so mysterious after all. You might guess who they are before the big reveal (me and my mom did), but it will still keep you guessing for a while and the journey is intense as the family fight for survival.Â
Zombieland (2009)
Type: Comedy/Zombie
Starring: Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone & Woody Harrelson
Summary: A shy student trying to reach his family in Ohio, a gun-toting tough guy trying to find the last Twinkie, and a pair of sisters trying to get to an amusement park join forces to travel across a zombie-filled America.
IMDB rating:Â 7.7/10
The only other horror comedy that I actually like. I mean, for the amazing cast alone this deserves to be on this list. But it also has the perfect amount of comedy, seriousness and gore.Â
10 Cloverfield Lane (2016)
Type: PsychologicalÂ
Starring: John Goodman & Mary Elizabeth Winstead
Summary: After getting in a car accident, a woman is held in a shelter with two men, who claim the outside world is affected by a widespread chemical attack.
IMDB rating: 7.2/10
Going into this, I was expecting it to be rubbish, (mainly because âCloverfieldâ was so bloody awful that I didnât see how a sequel could be any better), but it took me by surprise. The main question throughout the film is, are the men telling the truth? Are they good guys or bad guys? Those are the questions you will doubt the answers to right up until the reveal at the end. It kept me hooked and the fact that it isnât found-footage like âCloverfieldâ definitely works in its favour.
Lastly, Iâd like to mention some movies that I see included on a lot of recommendation, best of or top 10/50/100 lists that I personally donât rate and why. That isnât saying you shouldnât watch them, just that theyâre not necessarily as good as theyâre portrayed to be. Warning: The movies listed below will contain spoilers.
It Follows (2014) - The entire movie is based upon the idea of a sexually transmitted disease/curse, which is just laughable and something I couldnât take seriously at all. Itâs impossible to root for the main character who is so utterly conceited and selfish that she willingly has sex with her best friend a.k.a the guy who has been crushing on her for years and who cares about her so much that he offers to have sex with her to free her from the entity, which results in his untimely death. The only good thing about this movie is that it raises awareness of the consequences of unprotected sex with strangers and hopefully encourages people to learn more about someone before jumping into bed with them.
The Babadook (2014) - Iâd heard so many great things about this movie and how terrifying it was and for that reason I went in with high expectations. When it got started my first thought was âSurely this is the wrong movieâ, because bloody hell, it was bad. Iâve seen so many reviews crediting it for how amazing it is considering it had such a low budget and all I say to that is - you can bloody well tell it had a low budget. Everything about it screams âlow budget movieâ. The incessant whining and yelling from both the mother and child made my ears bleed and all it succeeded in doing was irritating (and boring me) me rather than scaring me. I donât condone that the idea behind it is a good one, but the execution is poor and the acting mediocre. For that reason, I often question how this has managed to receive such a high reputation within the horror genre.Â
The Descent (2005) - Again, such a highly accredited movie for which I canât understand why. A bunch of girls running around in the pitch black underground from some mysterious monsters that kill them all one by one⊠itâs just so boring. Thereâs no plot, no build-up, no mystery, nothing. I actually watched it for the first time when I was 16, around the time I was starting to really get into horror movies and even back then it didnât scare me. I can, however, see why itâd be scary to others as it does create a feeling of claustrophobia since itâs set underground. My dislike for is mainly because monster movies arenât really my thing.Â
Friday The 13th (1980) - I feel like Iâm betraying myself by including Friday The 13th, because thereâs no denying that it was really defining for the slasher genre and it was one of the first movies that introduced me to horror, but I just donât like it. I tried to re-watch it recently (since I hadnât watched it all the way through since I was a teenager) and I couldnât even get half-way through. The franchise is so big with there being 12 films and the story just gets lost on me. I know thereâs some sort of story there with Jason and his mother, but it doesnât harbour the same impact and intriuge to me as Michael Myersâ back-story. Essentially Friday The 13th will always be a poor rip-off of Halloween.Â
The Blair Witch Project (1999) - I already mentioned that found-footage movies are a huuuuge no-no for me and theyâre by far the worst corner of the horror genre. Blair Witch is something you either love or hate, for me itâs the latter. Itâs just so boring. With any found-footage movies thereâs an inability for me to connect to the characters or the story and for that reason the suspense and fear just isnât there which is so important for any horror movie. I watched this movie once and Iâd never watch it again. Itâs one of those movies where the end credits roll and you sit back in your chair, look over to the person youâre watching it with and say, âWell thereâs 2 hours of our lives weâre never getting back.âÂ
Paranormal Activity (2007) - Another franchise thatâs done so well and become so huge, but I canât understand why. More found-footage which I despise (the wobbling and half-head shots alone are enough to put me off watching), but these are somewhat watchable in comparison to Blair Witch. I think when you watch these movies in the cinema (which I did for at least 3 of them, though I canât remember which ones), there are a lot of jump-scare moments mostly because thereâs a lot of ânormalâ scenes set in the day where nothing much is happening, so when those scarier moments happen theyâre more impacting. However, a lot of the time the development is so slow with the movement of a sheet or door being the only occurrence for over half of the film and then in the last 10 minutes everything goes crazy. Admittedly there are some of the movies in the franchise that are better. My personal favourite is Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones, which is actually the one that is often overlooked and underrated, but that by far had the biggest impact on me. So if you do choose to watch these, that would be the one Iâd recommend. But overall the franchise is extremely overrated and itâs reputation is based purely on those cinema jump-scares theyâre so famous for.Â
The Woman In Black (2012) - AKA the most boring movie in existence. This was the first Daniel Radcliffe movie Iâd watched since Harry Potter and as a huge fan of him, I went in with high expectations and it certainly disappointed. Not because of Danielâs acting, but because of the simple fact that it failed to engage me. It wasnât scary, it wasnât tense and I found myself wishing that something would jump out to scare me just to keep me engaged, even if it was only for a second. This is one of those movies that was so incredibly dull that I wouldnât even be able to recall what happened if someone paid me ÂŁ100 to do so. All I remember is Daniel Radcliffe looking out of a window a lot and jumping every time he saw a black figure standing in the distance (yawn!).Â
The Strangers (2008) - I only watched this a couple of weeks ago to see if it was worthy of being included on this list and came to the conclusion it wasnât. Itâs not the worst horror movie Iâve ever seen and unlike some of the others on this list I wouldnât strongly recommend against watching it, but like all of the movies above, it completely failed to engage me. I paid attention for the first 15 minutes, after which I ended up pulling out my laptop. And the ending is possibly one of my most hated endings in any horror movie whereby the villains/killers have absolutely zero motive. When they were asked, âWhy are you doing this?â their response was simply, âBecause you were home.â Really? Iâve sat through two hours of watching two people get mentally tortured and hunted like dogs just because a bunch of sadistic people stumbled across their house and decided to torture them just to pass the time? No thanks.
The Mist (2007) - Again, another movie I opted to watch based on the fact it was included on a list of recommendations and I was bitterly disappointed. Some big mysterious alien-like bugs attack a small town from beneath the cover of mist. Itâs so boring and not at all scary. Once again, my dislike for this movie can be put down to my dislike for monster/alien sub-genres.Â
The Hills Have Eyes (2006) - This is a movie that everyone has heard the name of, even if you havenât seen it. For that reason, I had high expectations going into it, but unfortunately it was just more boring shit about a family getting hunted down by a bunch of cannibal deformed humans in the desert. Yawn.
The Girl With All The Gifts (2016) - This movie starts out so promising and I was so eager to learn the mystery behind the dystopian world it was set in and when I realised it was just another zombie movie I was deflated. Once the mystery ends and the âhungriesâ are revealed thereâs really nothing more to watch for.  I also donât understand how this qualifies as horror because itâs not in the least bit scary or pertaining to anything I consider defining of a horror movie and I would happily let any young teenager watch it. The only thing that remotely relates it to horror is the inclusion of zombies.Â
V/H/S (2012) - I shouldâve been smart enough to read more about this movie before watching it, but I didnât and it turns out itâs a found-footage movie, yay my fave(!) /sarcasm. The problem with this movie (aside from the fact that itâs found-footage) is that I found it impossible to follow. It jumped from one group/plot to the next and I couldnât make head or tail of what was going on. Because of this, it didnât keep my focus and I ended up having to Wiki what the plot/ending was and ended up frowning at the screen in utter confusion because I just didnât get what the plot was supposed to be from what I watched.Â
Drag Me To Hell (2009) - Along with âTexas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generationâ this is the worst horror movie Iâve ever seen. God knows how itâs managed to scrape a 6 point something rating on IMDb. I couldnât even list all of the things that make this so terrible, just save yourself from wasting an hour and a half of your life and donât watch this movie.Â
Rosemaryâs Baby (1968) - This movie is considered a classic in the horror genre and is on pretty much every recommendation list youâll ever find relating to horror, but god, itâs awful. Maybe itâs because Iâm accustomed to modern horror which is so much more vivid, graphic and unafraid to push the boundaries, but I find this movie so tame, boring and not at all scary. Itâs predictable with a terrible and anti-climatic ending that drags out a lot. There is nothing appealing or interesting about it and if you do decide to watch it, just donât go in with high expectations like I did, because youâre bound to be disappointed.Â

saac Kappy, the âThorâ actor who choked Paris Jackson and accused Steven Spielberg of abuse, has died after jumping off of a bridge in Arizona. Kappyâs death was confirmed in a statement from the Arizona Department of Public Safety on May 14. Kappy killed himself on May 13. The ADPS said that troopers were called to milepost 185 at Transwestern Road at 7:26 a.m. after hearing reports that a man had jumped from a bridge over the interstate in Bellemont, Arizona, and had been hit by a car. At the time of his death, Kappy was 42 years old. Bellemont is located around 10 miles west of Flagstaff. revelationsâ about his character. Kappy said that despite believing himself to be a good person, the truth is that he had ânot been a good guy.â Kappy said that he has used people, owed money, dealt drugs and âabusedâ his body with narcotics, cigarettes and alcohol. Kappy said that he âsupposedlyâ wanted to make America great, but neglected to make himself great. He remarks about one specific recent incident that caused him trauma but does not elaborate on what happened. Kappy said that the act âcost him everything.â He goes on to say that he had âgambled awayâ his future. In another section, Kappy makes reference to the âQ movement.â Kappy says he is âso sorryâ for having âbrought shame upon the greatest military operation of all time.â Kappy says that he outed pedophiles who were former friends but that he âremained in their sphere for much longerâ than he should have. Kappy makes a direct reference to President Donald Trump saying, âI have told people in the Trump administration that I am willing to admit to my many crimes in a public setting, and committed to execution, in a public setting. A nation cannot suffer its traitors, and I am no exception.â Kappy concludes by saying that he squandered his talents and that he has âbetrayedâ Jesus. The Arizona Daily Sun reports that two teenagers who were driving close to where Kappy took his own life, attempted to physically restrain him. Arizona Department of Public Safety told the Daily Sun, âWe donât know why Mr. Kappy took his own life.â Local authorities have described Kappyâs case as closed. There were no other injuries as a result of Kappyâs actions. According to Kappyâs IMDb page, he had appeared in small roles in movies such as âThorâ and âTerminator Salvationâ as well as having a role in an episode of âBreaking Bad.â Kappyâs last role was in a 2016 episode of âRachel Dratchâs Late Night Snack.â In his acting career, Kappy was represented by Mitchell & Associates Talent. The band was formed in 2009 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, after Kappy met guitarist Nate Santa Maria when the latter was organizing a karaoke night in a bar, according to a feature in Local Flavor Magazine. In that feature, Kappy said that he had been a viola prodigy and had received a scholarship to the University of Arizona but dropped out at 19 to attend the University of New Mexico. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-7029679/Isaac-Kappy-dies-42-Thor-actor-assaulted-Paris-Jackson-commits-suicide.html#i-d45b2856dc19a6cd Why can't I find an article relating his suicide to his whistleblowing on Hollywood Pedophilia? I'm sorry, but this dude always kinda struck me as a loon. Just the live streaming with his face in the phone, his squirrelly voice, unkempt beard and overall disassociated demeanor screamed schizoid drug user who new some hollywood elites and got bored and started claiming he had "insider info" when they most likely just kicked him out of their parties because he was an autistic goober. What do you think? Was this guy actually legit or did (((they))) got em boys?
Seth Green had him killed for exposing him for being a secret pedo tangler in pizzagate.
A person in his position should have gone undercover and then blown the lid off everything with some real evidence/recordings/etc
They tricked him into betraying his followers by giving away their info and then drugged him into feeling so guilty about it he committed suicide
this was his dead mans switch apparently.Â
He posted this somehwere before he died.

This looks pretty legit yall. Legit gave me chills. A glimpse into that Epstien world.
sadly, if thats his deadman switch, then its not very good
Short of one of the parents going "what the fuck?" it can be too easily explained away as a turkish bath, as ive seen a lot of anons say already, personally i dont buy the turkish bath thing at all, but still its not exactly concrete

So smuggies) off the bridge. Also, may I comp you a bump of sushi? He outed Q as being a (((government))) psyop and then he killed himself. Check out Randy Quaid... He's one of the rare few that fought the evil in Hollywood and won. Kappy forced himself off the Transwestern Road bridge onto Interstate 40 where he was struck by a Ford pickup truck, DPS spokesperson Bart Graves confirmed on Tuesday morning. Authorities said two teenagers driving by got out of their vehicle and tried to physically restrain Kappy from jumping, but failed. No one else was injured during the incident and the investigation has been closed. https://azdailysun.com/news/dps-releases-name-of-man-who-died-after-jumping-from/article_90566c46-f81f-524e-8602-2daf555f719d.html
Kappy was also formerly the lead singer of the band Monster Paws. The band paid tribute to Kappy with a brief post on their Facebook page that read, âMP forever Issac. Iâll miss you homie.â The last post on the page advertised a gig for the band in December 2013. In the about section, the band described themselves as sounding âlike yet winning something.â
constantly texting Jackson and that she was responding because she was worried that he was suicidal. Eventually, Jackson stopped responding as the messages continued. TMZ says that Jackson eventually blocked Kappyâs number and opted to have armed security with her at all times. Kappy said in a 2011 interview that âBillie Jeanâ by Michael Jackson was among his favorite songs. Kappy was 'ok' for someone who admitted to being 'seduced' by the dark side. Remember him for that AND what he did and tried to do for the rest. Let what happened to him be a lesson to you! This isn't a game, we're playing for keeps and we go all the way on this one... RIP Kappy, you had a conscience and it served the children well... The gamble was guessing that his Hollywood friends were raping kids and that telling the world would be a good idea. After that he has no job and no friends, and very few people believe him because he didn't bother playing along just long enough to do some undercover filming of shady shit for proof. Even if he didn't die, his life was pretty much over. One thing you anons should know, pedos rule the world, most are extremely intelligent and if you mess with them bad things will happen to you. I'm just saying, keep yourselves safe, god will sort them out. I watched a few of his streams. Iâm just now learning he died. He was off for sure, but not schizophrenic off. Itâs hard to believe he actually died after all the shit he said. I honestly think the Seth green stuff he said holds some water now. Guy had multiple stories of Seth and his wife. One including a hidden room for âthe kidsâ or some shit. They never had kids of their own. Spooky shit Yeah. Maybe I should have been little more clear. Schizo gets thrown around to easily here. He was simply kinda "off". Too many of his videos consist of him ranting for like 2 hours and you're like >"GET TO THE FUCKING POINT MAN. Start naming names an dropping intel." Though I found it somewhat hard to believe, his story about seth and his wife was his most memorable creepypasta.
you're speaking to the one and only Dr. GFA-kken himself! That's right, Dr. GFA-kken, THE undisputed master of psychological torture through slews of mindless questions, has found enough love in my heart to forgive you on behalf of my poor assumptions slash trigger-happy posting patterns. But, speaking of the devil, when the fuck will the next /HTG/ thread show up? I'm pretty sure that the only way to directly communicate with and to A5 is through /HTG/ threads. Ask him about me the next time you see him, he might just tell you something surprisingly important ;)âŠâŠ or something about my unhealthy obsession with Disney cartoons, who knows? I met him a few times and partied at his house once several years ago. I saw his posts on FB when he first started going gung ho on Trump. Mostly Anti Clinton Crime Family, anti Big Tech, anti ZOG wars stuff at the height of the election. Then I saw him at the bar a while back and told him people had his back (before the Seth Green, Paris Jackson stuff). He was cool, rambled for a bit about politics with me and really didn't seem much different than his old self. That being said he did always seem crazy from the first time I met him. Was always a Schizo kinda dude with his eyes darting all over the place. There may be some truth to the stuff he was saying and it did take courage to take on pedowood. Whatever he knew he couldn't live with it or himself. Wish I had reached out to him again. Feelsbadman. R.I.P Issac.

observations/theories post-1x05
been a while, so sorry, bit of a long post so Iâll put it behind a cut!! meanwhile enjoy this image:Â
blossoms = witches, right? like, definitely witches, right? okay glad weâre all on the same page about that
(either witches, part of a cult, or both tbh)
is sabrina gonna be pollyâs baby? & do the blossoms want her to perform some kind of witchual?
jason may have convinced cheryl to have joint parties because âno one wanted to come to hers,â but presumably people still did? or wouldnât she have noticed? so is that true or is he full of shit and did his best to make her feel isolated/dependent on him on purpose?
related thought: cheryl implied polly was a drug addict when accusing her at bettyâs house-- was she just being spiteful or does that tie into the information that jason was (maybe) a drug dealer?
did kevin take pictures of his dadâs murder board and thatâs how they recreated it with presumably relative accuracy, or are they just doing their own thing with it?
how did hal know about it in order to break in and steal evidence? or was he already planning to break in anyway to look for something else? did anything in particular prompt him to be concerned about the coopers being suspects? cuz while theyâre totally obvious suspects I donât feel like alice and hal are self-aware enough to assume they would suspects until something gave them reason to get paranoid
the only real dilf on this show is coach clayton lbr (tho the others are okay too, except fred I donât... see it... I never will Iâm sorry) and, probably, hiram lodge (he is always the hottest riverdale dad)
speaking of hot dad coach clayton, maybe reggie loves football so much because as usual he has no parents so football raised him (âTHANKS DAD! I MEAN COACH LOLâ)
plus this episode confirmed what we already speculated (but basically knew) from 1x03 re: the football team
on that note, while I donât think he did it, it does seem a little weird reggie isnât more of a direct suspect to me given how heâs positioned to benefit from jasonâs death re: the team, but I also think that might be building up with the ethel/chuck/playbook storyline
also on that note, whatâs everyone thinking rn that jughead meant when he implied the football team changeups would have terrible repercussions? does he mean reggie being made captain (heâs gonna do something? or somethingâs gonna happen to him?), chuck not being captain (like maybe his shitty behavior will be retroactively balanced out by new things we learn about him wrt keeping the teamâs behavior in check in other ways? or even just that he made sure they kept their grades up so theyâd qualify to play or something?), or maybe he is gonna tell the cops about betty calling him jason and almost drowning him since he really has nothing to lose? Iâm kind of surprised he hasnât tbh I feel like... itâs fair enough...
thatâs all I can think of atm so hopefully I didnât miss anything too big! my friends and I spitball so much shit @ each other I very well could have. anyway, also, hereâs a bit of future speculation re: 1x07 and in general:
the club scene with ronnie, reggie, kevin, and josie: why ARE they there, are they investigating something (e.g. did jason deal drugs out of there? is it serpent-affiliated? did jason have anything to do with the serpents? is that the real reason joaquin was nervous about kevin being the sheriffâs son, maybe he knows something?)? Â
theyâre also underage so... w/out having further context rn, if they are investigating that might explain it slightly! esp if theyâre investigating serpents and joaquin or someone helps sneak them in to get info.
are they paired off with fake dates? why is reggie there is he kevinâs fake-date!! because heâs the only atm inexplicable part of that group, the other three are (or will be, since we know veronica will become close with josie/the pussycats) friends but reggie has never really hung out with any of them
1x07 is also the âtaboo sleepover where most of the kids make out with each otherâ episode (assuming that holds true)
and while imdb is unreliable, ethel is listed for 1x06 and 1x07(and 1x10) and letâs not forget this;Â maybe sheâs gonna turn the playbook tactics back on reggie? is this gonna happen?:
chuck is also allegedly appearing in 1x10... so maybe ethel/chuck is where weâre heading toward...? đÂ
popping the biggest bottles whenever hiram lodge (MVP) just fucking SHOWS UP like HERMIONE I AM HOME NOW AND I AM LOOKING SO DONE WITH PRISON, AND ALSO MY SHIRT OPENED and sinks tf out of  fred/hermione âđ
đ„đȘđȘ
I just assume heâs gonna show up at some point, I have no evidence to back it upÂ
#riv txt#theories tag#anyway I've found my true calling and it's making shitty riverdale memes/reaction memes#I speculate about chuck and the jocks a lot apparently but ain't no one really surprised about that right?#confessions of a photoshopaholic
