Update on my October movie marathon:

Practical Magic is fabulous as always. Really wish I could have some midnight margaritas.

Watched Scream for the first time. It was great and I will be watching the rest of the franchise. As a side note: my first time seeing Skeet Ulrich in anything was Riverdale. How the hell does this man basically look the same? Also I'm in my Alice x FP feels now thanks.

Watching Scream and then going into the live action Scooby-Doo is hilarious especially since Matthew Lillard is in both.

My childhood heart is also very much in my Fred x Daphne feels. Growing up they were like one of my first OTPs besides Jasmine x Aladdin. So do with that knowledge what you will.

I really forgot how much I love Fright Night (2011).

[sinister-surname]

So with the spooky month fast approaching I'm once again going to try my hand at 31 horror movies through October. I got a few lined up already if only because I own them physically and haven't got around to watching them (Deathship from 1980, House from 1985, Bride of Re-Animator) and I'd love some suggestions. More specifically, if you, like I, love good horror movies but love trash horror movies even more I'd especially love some recommendations.

October/Halloween movie marathon

Day 1: Beetlejuice (1988)

Is it really that surprising that I'm starting off October with Beetlejuice??? 🪲🧃👻

[deusluxuria]

anyone know if mikitaka's allergy to sirens is actually from a recurring alien trope? i just rewatched "VHS 2" (the best one in the series imo -- but yes the dog does die and it fucking sucks) and the aliens in the last tape seem to become particularly angry by the sound of police sirens and i thought it was interesting. if it's not a trope, it could be something inspired by the jjba part 4 manga, since it of course came first.
