Wouldn’t you like to see something strange

[shadowhive]

So I thought about making a post after Smile 2, since I am gonna try and see it tomorrow, but I figure I should make a general post tonight beforehand first.

The past few nights have been a bit random really. I got possessed by inspiration to do a fic and then my focus has been a bit more off.

It hasn’t helped that mum is making my anxiety peak again. The doctor said she was sending intro on what the thing on the back was, but it hasn’t arrived yet so mum is getting worked up about that, as well as a call from the hospital about whatever the meeting was. I’m trying to be less worried, but of course her getting worked up isn’t helping and is impacting me. Knowing my luck something will come when I’m out tomorrow, but at least I won’t be around to hear it.

However! Good news the stuff I preordered from Arrow came. First there is a new 4K blu ray of Trick R Treat, which is the first 4k of anything I’ve had. I’m looking forward to watching it on Halloween (as usual) as well as reading the included comic and watching the special features. The second thing is the J-Horror Rising boxset which I’m so looking forward to checking out. There’s a bunch of art cards with it, as well as a booklet of things which I’ll check out soon. I was gonna try and watch the first films these past nights, but, alas, I’ve not had the focus for subtitles which is so annoying. Hopefully I can make a start this weekend.

And speaking of Trick R Treat there’s a new kickstarter for a graphic novel by the guy that made it so I’m gonna back it soon (it’s here

Also annoyingly the net went down Wednesday (mostly annoying cause I missed a Seapeekay stream) but I got it fixed by changing the wires but ugh.

I did got on Zelda Echoes Of Wisdom and ahhh! I got the cat outfit from an amiibo and I love talking to all the cats, they’re so cute and sweet and adorable and funny.

And now I’m on to spooky things (again like last post I’m using rhoda_rants style.

Wednesday - Stranger Things - The Pollywog

Since inspiration struck Tuesday I switched Stranger Things to Wednesday. This one made me think awww Dustin cause he was cute looking into the thing he found. Though also keeping that thing felt like such a bad idea. Like it’s harmless so far but it feels it won’t be for long.

Also damn Billy why were you shirtless in gym and so close to Steve huh? I know what you are.

Because of that, and the Halloween event, I went on Dead By Daylight and did a few rounds as Steve. And. After saying I might get some idea with him in it I started a thing tonight. Oop.

Thursday -Agatha All Along/Dracula Prince Of Darkness

Agatha All Along continues to be such a great show and this was such a good ep. It was told in such a strange way with all the skips, yet it worked. And also they used real fucking swords that fell from the ceiling??

That night there was a Christopher Lee documentary which I watched, which was interesting but also a little sad. He led an amazing life, seeing the last death by guillotine in France, being a nazi hunter during the war and that’s before you go into all the films he was in. And it’s so sweet how obviously proud he was to be both in Lord Of The Rings and Star Wars, so he’d be remembered in those roles.

Following on from it was on of the Dracula films he did. I’d never seen any of them so thought it’d be interesting to watch, but… It’s an interesting concept, Dracula has already been defeated and the locals are still Ray about his castle, pretending it doiesnt exist and not going near it. Turns out that’s for good reason as travellers, who get stranded by a suspicious local, end up going there and be manipulated, with one being killed to bring him back.

All of that is pretty good, the locals and travellers are all pretty well played, as is the creepy butler. Then Dracula is revived and… he doesn’t say a single word throughout, he just hisses and it feels like a waste. According to tv tropes he had lines, but he refused to say them which… I guess means they were terrible. So yeah it was a bit of a shame?

Friday

I did intend to watch something (either more Stranger Things, start J-Horror Rising, or get back to American Horror story but my focus started to fade during Ghost Files which is a shame. So all I did that’s spooky is watch Ghost Files and do some more Dead By Daylight (why does the Xenomorph just grab people by the throat and carry them like that?)

I did listen to Into The Tardis: Primord part 2 which is starting to get interesting. It’s well acted though you can’t help but be a little sad how many actors have had to be recast for it (it’s third Doctor era, so the Brigadier, Liz and the third doctor are all new people).

Tomorrow I’m hoping to see Smile 2 as well as get things so I’ll do a post on thoughts then.

I have a bunch of spooky things that I meant to watch and do over October though between being sick, the anxiety over medical issues and lack of focus I’ve not done many so I’m gonna do them in November.nthings I intend to watch soon are

Blu Rays
*J-Horror Rising
*Saw
*Five Nights At Freddy’s
*Lifeforce
*The Sacred Spirit
*Audition
*Trick R Treat (on Halloween)

Disney+
*Agatha All Along series finale eps (on Halloween)

*Smile

Prime

Shudder
*Uzumaki
*Terrifier (maybe?)

I’m sure I’m missing a bunch of things for every one of those, but those are the main ones I can think of.

Anyway now I’m gonna snuggle and hopefully sleep if Leia lets me.

I'm sorry your mum isn't helping with your anxiety. That's really not fair on you.

Hope you enjoy your film if you see it.

[shadowhive]

Yeah it’s not😔I know it’s cause she’s worried too but it doesn’t help (and I just got back home and was worried I was so late but I couldn’t message on the way back)

Yeah I did! I’ll probably make a post about it tonight

I do think of you whenever I’m at the odeon, I do wish one was nearer so I could get the pass but it’s just too far😔

That's a shame as the pass is such amazing value. Going to the cinema so often is what I'm missing a lot with J not being able to drive right now.

Ugh, the waiting is the worst part. Again, sending good vibes!

And yaaaaay, glad to see you enjoying Stranger Things!! I adore Dustin's bizarre little bond with the baby monster. I can't remember what he calls it. I am 100% in agreement with his assessment of 3 Musketeers though. The nougat is excellent.

However, I feel obliged to warn you, if you haven't already guessed, about Dustin's cat. From what I remember, it's not gruesome, but yeah, brace yourself for that if you need to.

I've been wanting to rewatch The Mortuary Collection too. Maybe not this season, but soon!

[shadowhive]

It is! I mean hee comforming it’s not the worst thing helps but still

Me too! Awww he’s so sweet. (It’s Dartaneon (I’ve spelt it wrong but!) ohh?

Oh no poor kitty😔

Oh nice! I’ll see it myself soon I think, but the thing is I’ve got so many nights with stuff I can’t soon
