🦇 Spooky Season | Badge of the Month | October 2022

https://community.qualtrics.com/XMcommunity/discussion/comment/50823#Comment_50823This was such a good show! I watched it a few years back and Michael is such a well written character. He is so well pre-planned to beat almost every unprecedented events they face.

I challenged myself (because watching movies is so hard) to watch a horror movie each night in October. My favorite movie so far has been Ready or Not, with a close runner up being Society. The former is pretty fun, with some over-the-top kills and plot. The latter...well...the latter is just plain weird!

I am not a big-time horror movie fan. I'm not sure if the movie that terrified me the most is considered as a horror film. I had nightmares for months after seeing JAWS in the 4th grade! When they played the cinematic music as he was coming with his fin above water, it always ended badly for someone!

https://community.qualtrics.com/XMcommunity/discussion/comment/50946#Comment_50946Same! I was allowed to watch jaws way too young 🙈

https://community.qualtrics.com/XMcommunity/discussion/comment/50876#Comment_50876Sometimes weird movies can be scarier than ones designed to scare you! I can think of many examples that fall into this category! 🤯

As many others have stated, horror is generally not my genre. Not recent but first that came to mind from my younger years was Candyman. I have not watch anytime recent to confirm if my memories would remain the same or if was the environment and my age.

https://community.qualtrics.com/XMcommunity/discussion/comment/50954#Comment_50954Candyman is a great one! I recently watched the newest version by Jordan Peele!

I am not a fan of scary movies, I blame my dad, he took me to see Alien when it first came out. I think I was in the 3rd grade, is scarred me for LIFE! I saw the facesucker for months every time I closed my eyes.

I love any book by Agatha Christie for spooky season :) Some are especially good for right now like And Then There Where None.
I have a toddler at home so I don't watch too much that's spooky currently. We are more into collecting leaves and enjoying fall weather.

https://community.qualtrics.com/XMcommunity/discussion/comment/50980#Comment_50980I once tried to read this book while home alone and I had to sit outside while reading (where I could be seen and found, in case anything spooky happened) 😂

https://community.qualtrics.com/XMcommunity/discussion/comment/50976#Comment_50976My mom was a teacher and had a "conference" with her teacher collogues where they would watch a movie and then discuss it afterwards.
I was away from school that day and tagged along. I was 10 years old. The movie was Carrie.
I still remember the jump scare when the hand comes out of the grave at the end. Jeez :D

I love this season and designing my own costumes. I'm not a fan of the horror theme, however sometimes you get caught in the flow and this month I started the Spanish serie Alma, it has given me some scares, but I am enjoying it

https://community.qualtrics.com/XMcommunity/discussion/comment/50733#Comment_50733Spot on Michael_Cooksey! Although St. Maarten is not considered a particular opportunity to enjoy a nice glas of wine 🍷 in the Netherlands, I do recall the Beaujolais Nouveau 🍇coming out around this time of year when I lived in Marseille and quickly discovering it was not my cup of tea☕️

https://community.qualtrics.com/XMcommunity/discussion/comment/51053#Comment_51053Yep! That's it -- young wines are typically released around St. Martin's Day. I could be wrong, but I think it's in Germany and to the east where young wines are brought out at St. Martin's Day. But why wait? Any day of the year could be an excuse for a glass of wine 🍷

Throwbacks to any 90's kids who might appreciate the nostalgia...

https://community.qualtrics.com/XMcommunity/discussion/comment/50848#Comment_50848ElieD Yes, I've read the end of the Dark Tower. :) I will say no more, so as to keep the mystery alive and the choice of whether to explore that portion of the book solely up to you.

ElieD You stopped? I'm amazed.

I abhor horror, but love Halloween content tailored for children. (A Nightmare Before Christmas, Hocus Pocus, It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown)

My partner and I just finished Netflix's The Watcher. It's a 7 episode series, based on real events, that tells a story of terror and paranoia.
A New York City couple moves from the city seeking safety in the suburbs, only to start receiving mysterious letters from an an unknown party identifying only as "The Watcher."
The show does an excellent job of casting suspicion on all of the characters and is super bindge-worthy!

https://community.qualtrics.com/XMcommunity/discussion/comment/51095#Comment_51095I think I would better have done the same with Game of Throne...
😄

https://community.qualtrics.com/XMcommunity/discussion/comment/51097#Comment_51097Same! I have to watch all the Charlie Brown holiday specials every year -- no matter how old I get. It's tradition! 🎃

https://community.qualtrics.com/XMcommunity/discussion/comment/51099#Comment_51099I'm almost done -- only two episodes to go! I stopped because another season of Unsolved Mysteries came out on Netflix and I had to binge those, first 🤯

https://community.qualtrics.com/XMcommunity/discussion/comment/50976#Comment_50976I had a similar experience! Saw Alien way too young 😂 It's been so nice to have you on the Community Connect calls!

Always going to be a classic bit of Shaun Of The Dead for me.
Sometimes in life it is good to just go have a pint and wait for all of this to blow over 😅!

https://community.qualtrics.com/XMcommunity/discussion/comment/51099#Comment_51099I just watched it and really enjoyed it! It takes place ten minutes from where I grew up :)
