shadowhiveIt’s time!
Spooky month is here! Rejoice! (Along with dozens of -tober month things, why is October the month for those?)
This spooky season I’ll be posting what I do spooky season.
Day 1: Welcome To Night Vale - Date Night, Fall Guys done Fall-o-ween Frights, ESO
First there was the new Welcome To Night Vale which, despite the name was spooky via the presence of the citizen eating town founder crashing the date night. As usually it was a fun ep (I giggled at the ai comments) and it was funny that though they did puzzle the founder so much was happening they didn’t know what it was. Also the restaurant was a mix of cute (awww bee petting!) and horrific.
Fall Guys had two Halloween events start and I completely the first one, which had rewards including a costume that looked like a robot jack o lantern. Elder Scrolls Online was more obviously spooky, with a quest to pet daedric princes causing trouble. (I’m also way behind on ESO cause this was an Apocrypha quest and there’s since been two story areas since then).
I did consider watching a treehouse of horror ep, but Disney+ didn’t have the Halloween section up and I didn’t have focus.
At the end of the last post I mentioned there not being Frankenstein dates, well today I checked the cinema site and there is some! Strangely Netflix said it would be one day only, on the 17th. However my cinema has at least a week of showings! So from the 24th-30th(at least!) and what’s more there’s not one but three showings per day! I was so worried I’d miss it on the 17th so that’s much better. My thought is to see it on the Wednesday, cause that’s when the Halloween art event at the art gallery is.
Speaking of cinema today was a cinema day. I had hoped to go see two things (my plan was to see The Roses) but my stomach had felt funny last night and so I didn’t feel like seeing it. Thankfully my stomach was ok today so I did go.
Before I did I had a delivery of t-shirts from qwertee, a silksong and an alien earth one. (And yesterday my tubbo cargo pants came!) And mum did some messing today in her room and found loads of things I’d been missing, including the Ranboo tee I won, the Hellfire Club tee I got and the Sorry Boys Book Club tee which I never wore before it was squirrelled away.
In town I picked up the new fantastic 4 comic, then some Halloween bunting and hello kitty Halloween tattoo things then went to the cinema. The Black Phone 2 display was set up and looked cool, plus I had a compliment from the guy that scanned my ticket for my Silksong tee which was nice.
The trailers were a strange mix. There was Corpse Bride and Paranorman, which are both getting seasonal re-releases. Then there was one for Battleship Potemkin (cause they’re getting silent film re-releases, this one with a musical score) and lastly was I Swear. This was the strangest choice to me. Cause the film was rated 12A the trailer was cut to hell to remove the swearing which just made it play out so oddly.
Curse Of Frankenstein was in one of the back screens, it might even have been the same one as Jaws, so it was one of the smaller screening rooms. There was a quite a few people there though which was nice.
I had been wanting to watch more Hammer Horror films since seeing a documentary on sky arts about it awhile back so I’m glad that the cinema had this one since it was so well done. It did surprise me a bit that most of it was focussed on Victor’s experiments, including reviving a dog (where did it go?) and then getting body parts. (Which, again, surprised me that it was 12A) And the creature only appearing in the last third (ish) of the film.
(It also makes me wonder if this is the film that put in the public imagination that the creature is a mindless lumbering monster. Hopefully the new film dispels that a bit)
I was surprised that Frankenstein’s mentor survived honestly. A few times it felt like Frankenstein would kill him but he didn’t. It did feel a little strange that Frankenstein went from reviving the dog to… make a man, like it felt he was making a leap there between the two instead of just taking the win. But like I said it was all well done and the vibes were pretty great. It probably wasn’t a faithful adaption but what it was still done well. (Apparently it had a limited budget which meant it was filmed largely in one location and they did use it so well despite that)
(It does feel a bit that words have failed me alas)
Next cinema trip is Monday which is gonna be Him and the mystery film. I’m 70% sure it’s Black Phone 2, 30% sure it’s Good Boy. Either is a good option, as it would be an earlier showing than the other Good Boy ones and I am wanting to see Black Phone 2.
Now though I’m gonna snuggle with Midna and watch the Pokémon stream jn a bit.
