It is with some sadness that I prepare to pack away all things Halloweeny for another year. It's been a blast. October's been a super creative month for me what with both Blogtober and Inktober going on - I hope I can find a way to keep it up to the end of the year … Continue reading Blogtober 2019 – Over and Out

Happy Halloween!
Hope you have the creepiest day imaginable! 🎃
Countdown
If you could find out exactly when you're going to die... would you want to know? This movie has such a lame title I completely forgot what it was called when I went to buy the ticket. In the UK we have a quintessentially British quiz show of the same name - which tests vocabulary and … Continue reading Countdown
Wounds
Don't call it in. Jill was happy with this pick because she wanted to see Armie Hammer die, which is as good as reason as any to be excited I guess. I was intrigued because this is the second full-length feature from Under the Shadow’s Babak Anvari. UTS was a properly eerie folktale with some … Continue reading Wounds

I’m not sure Hallowe'en Party was the best place to start but I chose it because of the title and I can’t say … Continue reading Hallowe’en Party

She spends a fair amount … Continue reading A.M.I.
This is Halloween
In all the excitement of my lovely guest posts – thank you girls – I had almost forgotten to take a moment to think about what my favourite holiday means to me. Kath has already touched upon the fact that Halloween hasn’t always been the most hands on in the UK. It was a thing … Continue reading This is Halloween
Dip
Ah, the monthly dip appears to be here, the one in which I question why I bother with anything and what my purpose on this earth even is. The one in which I wonder if I really am the worst person in the world.Sometimes I think maybe if I were I would worry less and … Continue reading Dip
