My Must-Watch List For October

October 15, 2026 — Leave a comment

As I have stated numerous times, spooky season is my favorite time of the year. However, I don’t limit my spooky vibes to October – I watch horror movies and read scary books and indulge in chills and thrills 24/7/365.

With that said, there are certain movies that I watch every year around Halloween, typically with my mom. I’d be interested to see your list as well, so if you’re reading this, drop a couple of movies that you feel get you into the spirit!

  • Scream [1996]: Iconic. My favorite slasher flick, period.
  • Coraline: One of my favorite movies, ever. And don’t tell me it’s not horror…
  • Trick ‘r Treat: Love, love, LOVE! And Sam is so cute.
  • Halloween [1978]: No time for remakes in this house. A classic. I’ve loved this movie from a young age, thanks to Mom.
  • Halloween II [1981]: This has to be one of the most solid sequels of all-time.
  • Fright Night [1985]: Because Chris Sarandon makes a sexy vampire.
  • The Nightmare Before Christmas: I feel like this one’s self-explanatory.
  • Corpse Bride: I do adore this film, but we mostly watch it because of Mom.
  • Hocus Pocus: It’s not Halloween until Winifred Sanderson says “Oh look, another glorious morning. Makes me SICK!”
  • Urban Legend: This movie was so slept on. While I will forever be a Ghostface girly, I actually thought the plot and the murder methods were better in this one.
  • Cry Wolf: Another underrated gem. I will never skip it.
  • House of 1000 Corpses: The only Rob Zombie film I actually enjoy.

I could have included Terrifier and the original IT, but I don’t always seek them out. I do watch them every time they’re on or suggested by someone else, though.

The remake of IT (2017)

I wasn’t exactly angry, but oh my God it sucked so bad!

2018 Reading Goal

January 18, 2018 — Leave a comment

I know this is a music blog, but I wanted to share something else I’m doing with my followers…just because.

I love to read! I have always loved to read. I don’t always have time, of course, though the various apps I can download to my phone have helped. Anyway, I finally joined GoodReads. I browsed through my favorite genres and found at least fifty books I was interested in reading. Lol.

The site encourages its users to set a goal for themselves, so I did. I am going to read fifteen books in 2018. I know that doesn’t seem an exceptional amount, but we’ll see how it goes. I may update my progress here, as well.

Right now, I’m on the final book in a trilogy by Shannon Mayer. The first in the series is entitled Venom and Vanilla. I honestly wasn’t sure how I was going to like it. The main character, Alena, starts out as kind of a stick in the mud. However, once she is turned into a supernatural (saving her from dying of a supposedly incurable disease), things get interesting.

Shannon Mayer combines all the usual suspects — vampires, werewolves, etc. — with the Greek pantheon, and it is masterfully done.

Thus far, my list of books for 2018 is as follows:

  • Venom and Vanilla by Shannon Mayer (read)
  • Fangs and Fennel by Shannon Mayer (read)
  • Hisses and Honey by Shannon Mayer (reading)
  • Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll (reading)
  • IT by Stephen King (reading)

At this rate, I think I’ll reach my goal!
