Halloweekend

So, this is the big party weekend of the year. Or in my case the big work on Saturday and hang out with family while trying to find time for Stranger Things Season 2 weekend of the year. My annual Halloween movie night had to be pushed back to the weekend after. A decision I loath, but it's better than no viewing party at all.

Frankly, this has been a less than stellar October for me. Most of my friends were occupied all month long by a play I wasn't in (I'm in a different play), making get-togethers all but impossible. So far I've squeezed in a viewing of Hocus Pocus with some friends who hadn't seen it before.

I know!

I've also finished re-watching American Horror Story: Freak Show with my husband, who has been very understanding during the month. He's generally lukewarm to horror, as he doesn't get scared.

 There was this one time, however...

But he's willing to watch stuff with a genuinely good story. So things like AHS, Krampus, Get Out, and the like get a pass.

That still leaves me alone when it comes to sagas and cheese fests. Who will sit with me and watch the Puppet Master series? Or lesser classics like Pumpkinhead and Wishmaster? Or the godawful not-even-really-a-horror-movie The Last Shark?

Luckily, with Rifftrax, you're never alone.

I'm sad I haven't been able to properly celebrate and enjoy this Halloween season. Thank goodness for these blogs. And a special shout-out to my over 800 (!) followers on the Amino Horror App. It's nice to know I'm not shouting into the void, or worse, just annoying friends and family.

Anyway, for those of you who can, have fun this weekend. I'll be back next week for the last of the thrills.
