My friend and I tried to do a cute spooky craft: skeleton candles! Hers is the lit one. Mine looks like these two are very excited about their crooked long wicks. 🤣😳🫣 #fail

Of all the obscure movie props I would die to have, that weird horn Igor plays at the end of Young Frankenstein is at the top of my list. #Svengoolie

Husband and I trying to recast Young Frankenstein for a remake today, but no one could replace Marty Feldman or Gene Wilder. It cannot be done! #Svengoolie

Kids dance party at Zoo Boo: A bunch of little princesses bopping around and then there's my little Freddy Krueger doing some sort of dance with his claws.

For the record I very much enjoyed Tron: Ares. But I've never been into Tron for the plot. It's all about that intense audio/visual experience. Put me in the grid. Give me epic light cycle races. Make a word that should just be 0s and 1s come to life in a spectacular fashion.

Gonna take the kids to see Tron: Ares today. And my older kid knows I prefer to go into movies blind, yet he has the audacity to tell me the Rotten Tomato score. Guess who's not getting candy.

Drove 8 hours to visit in-laws and hear their half drunk ideas on autism and Tylenol. My husband is impressed that I didn't explode and let them have it. Meanwhile inside...

I'm also disappointed that no one in my family wanted to dress up as werewolves and order Pina coladas.

Went to Trader Vic's. Two drinks and dinner. I am far too sober. Weak sauce.

Hotel elevator. 7 yells at 11 for pushing him away to get to the button. Husband rips a loud fart.
7- You're in trouble!
Me- You're all in trouble! *pointing as I go* You pushed your brother. You're yelling. And YOU farted! *DING!*
Elevator opens to people waiting and laughing.

Road trip to Atlanta:
11- I'd rather go to Atlantis. 😐
Me- Well, considering it's either under water or not real... Not this time.

Mammoth Cave trip was cut (thanks government shut down) so we went honky tonkin' in Nashville instead.

Wish us luck. 🤞

11- Would you take a billion dollars if that meant an immortal snail would always follow you, and its touch would kill you?
Me- ....You've just described this one horror movie called It Follows, only with greed and a snail. 🤯

The one time I get my shit together, plan way ahead and book a Mammoth Cave adventure for my family the government shuts down and crushes all my dreams.

Saw One Battle After Another today. That last car chase with the hills, wow! A Hitchcock style suspense rollercoaster! So good!

Just watched Bring Her Back and... wow, that was a lot more fucked up than I expected.

Alyson @terribleclaw.bsky.social · 14d

Did the white girl thing: gave that new Taylor album a listen. Not bad, but not my style. However, the way I cackled at Wood! 🤣

7 went to bed about 1/2 way through. But watching the gears turn in 11's head at the end. "That guy in the beginning killed him?!" Totally worth it!

Tonight I'll either give my kids nightmares or bore them, but I will show them one of the best written cinematic thrillers ever and it stars a kid close to their age! The Sixth Sense. Cause I'll be damned if any fucking memes ruin this film for my kids.

I'm so short, it's hard to find Halloween costumes that fit me. But today I learned that I'm a children's XL Sandworm. This is me now!
