Happy Monday and a gentle reminder to those dealing with chronic illness to watch out for the October Slide.

This time of year can cause flare ups, increased symptoms and unexpected hits to your baseline.

It’s best to go slow. Be gentle. And know that you’re not alone.

Stop scrolling for a second.
You're going to be okay, you're strong and i'm proud of you. Catch your breath and wash your face. Grab something to drink or to eat and remember to take any medications if you need to, okay?
You're amazing for making it so far into life; thank you for staying alive.
Now keep going.

The framing story is pretty fun (putting poltergeists in soda) and I found the first segment pretty creepy (Woman in Black/Barbarian vibes). 'Kidprint' will be a tough watch for some.

Didn't love 'V/H/S Halloween' (more misses than hits this year) BUT 'Kidprint' is one of the darkest entries I've seen and very effective. Will be thinking about it for a while.

Could not agree more with your review (though might have been mean and given Funsize 1/5).
'Kidprint' was upsetting in a way I've not seen for a while in horror, very affecting.

Rewatching 'AHS: Hotel' after ten years and I forgot how sumptuous it is. The outfits! The music! The hotel lobby!
