Me watching THIR13EN GHOSTS as a kid: oooh, scary ghosts!

The real reason I was watching (before I knew): Dennis Rafkin 😍🥵🥰
Dennis Rafkin in THIR13EN GHOSTS with his special glasses looking up frightened Dennis Rafkin in THIR13EN GHOSTS seductively caresses a beam next to a glass wall with markings Dennis Rafkin in THIR13EN GHOSTS in an orange work suit looking exasperated Dennis Rafkin in THIR13EN GHOSTS, now a ghost, wears a black & red suit while cleaning his glasses

More of a greatest hits mixtape of franchise beats than actual movie, makes sense why this is a fan favorite. For me it’s the perfect background watch at a party; you’re not missing any plot, but can still enjoy the kills & gags. Take a listen!

10. THE SIMILARS (1 film from a Mexican or Central American director)

Weird and deeply unserious, I always dig this vibe in Spanish/Mexican horror films. This pairs nicely with THE BAR • #HorrorSky #Hooptober12
A ★★★½ review of The Similars (2015)
Very Shyamalan-esque, with more commitment to the 50/60s sci-fi horror aesthetic. I dug the set-up and tone, it effectively reels you into the story. While I usually love a wild swing into the inexpli...

Voodoo and Black Messiah are incredible records. They synthesize the history of American music (especially, but not only, Black music) into something singular and individual. They feel like labors of love and awe. It’s like D’Angelo saying, “Isn’t this beautiful? Isn’t it amazing and fun?” It is.

I really really liked this one on a rewatch! Jesse is bisexual in my eyes: I can relate to him wanting the balance of protecting (Lisa) and being protected (Grady). In other words yes, I am a switch spooner 😅 take a listen!

Didn’t think I’d be the one going to bat for CLOWN IN A CORNFIELD, but this is pretty high up on my 2025 list haha

6. CLOWN IN A CORNFIELD (4 films based on Novels/3 cult or conspiracy horror films)

I don’t get why this movie had so many haters, I had a blast with this! Good double feature with DARK HARVEST • #HorrorSky #Hooptober12
A ★★★★½ review of Clown in a Cornfield (2025)
Not perfect by any means, but for a creepy season small town slasher it did pretty much everything I wanted! Sure it’s predictable and very on the red nose, but I had fun with the ensemble cast and th...

I’ve seen people come around on it the past 5 years, I feel it got a bad rep bc it came out when at the height of found footage saturation. I’m a big fan, it’s the best Tomb Raider movie we’ve gotten

I get that, but a third could fix it bc they’ve left the rules so open. The first on its own is a favorite of mine for sure. Served Jessica Rothe at my last bar one time, super sweet gal
