👻 I love spooky season! 👻

My favorite spooky activity is to carve pumpkins and watch scary movies in the fall! I also love decorating my home!

I listen to true crime podcasts year-round 😂. One of the many true crime podcasts I listen to and recommend is The Generation Why Podcast, a Wondery podcast that reviews controversial cases. 

And, I recently watched Talk to Me, an A24 horror film about possession. Be warned - it was truly terrifying!

I love this time of year! Something my family and I will do to celebrate the spooky season will be to go to Disneyland’s Oogie Boogie Bash. My wife and I went last year to see how it was, and we were blown away with how fun it was! They close the park down and let you trick or treat with lots of Disney villains, all while being able to go on the rides with reduced wait times and enjoy everything else there is to offer! We’ll take our two children this time around and are excited for my daughter to experience trick or treating for the first time! 

I LOVE this time of year!  I’ve watched the new Interview with the Vampire series on AMC and just finished What We Do in the Shadows (the original movie is also a good watch).  I got into reading Stephen King because my sister told me not to (that he was too scary) and have been reading his books like crazy.  Just picked up the new release Holly at the library on campus.  Off the top of my head my current Stephen King book ranking is:

1. The Green Mile
2. Pet Sematary
3. IT
4. Fairy Tale
5. If It Bleeds - Mr. Harrington’s Phone
6. Eyes of the Dragon
7. ‘Salem’s Lot

Hello all,

Answering this question “What’s your favorite spooky movie or TV show that you watched in 2023?”

American Horror Story

• Usually, when it comes to horror movies and shows, I find myself watching solo since my partner tends to have trouble sleeping afterward. However, there's a delightful exception to this rule – the American Horror Story (AHS) series. What sets AHS apart for both of us is its unique format.

• One of the aspects we love is that each season brings a brand-new plot, characters, and story, making it fresh and exciting every time. Even more intriguing, some of our favorite actors make a return appearance in each season, albeit in completely different roles, showcasing their incredible versatility.

• Another bonus is that AHS manages to wrap up its storyline neatly by the end of each season, which is a binge-watcher's dream. So, if you're contemplating which seasons to dive into, I'd wholeheartedly recommend the following: Season 1 - Murder House, Season 3 - Coven, Season 5 - Hotel, and if you want a mind-bending experience, Season 8 - Apocalypse (but watch this one after Season 3, Coven, for maximum enjoyment)

FROM

• FROM is a captivating series that has piqued my interest. Since it airs exclusively on the Paramount Network, I've resorted to streaming it through IPTV. The show delves into the mysterious tale of a tightly-knit community, some of whom have been trapped within this same town since childhood and are now grown adults. Their predicament? There's simply no way out; the road that leads away from town circles them back to the very beginning.
• To make matters even more spine-tingling, the town is plagued by nightmarish creatures that relentlessly attack them after dark. Despite the constant threat, the survivors are determined to maintain a semblance of normalcy in their lives. But each night, they're forced to secure every door and window, or else risk becoming prey to these malevolent entities

I personally am a huge fan of pumpkin spice and pumpkin pies, so I tend to love this time of year! My favorite movie to watch during spooky seasons is Coraline, I love the story and the animation.

I want to get into scary books, so if anyone has any recommendations for an intro into spooky or scary books please let me know! 🎃

The best spooky tv show that I have watched is Sabrina on Netflix :)

I love the 80´s spooky energy  and thats why I love Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice. This was my first aproach to deep dive in Burton’s fantastic work.

My list of spooky movies includes but not limited to IT, incidious chapters, Conjuring, Annabelle and zombie movies. :) 

I’m not a big movie watcher these days...I much prefer to sit by the fire and read a good spooky book this time of year.  Jonathan Stroud’s “Lockwood & Co.” series fits the bill perfectly for me.  Suspenseful, “plot-ful”, and clever but without an overdose of blood and guts. Think “Ghostbusters” set in England, run by life hardened teenagers and wonderfully written!  

This series will help prepare you for Jonathan Stroud’s masterpieces “The Bartimaeus Trilogy”...all of these are truly amazing Halloween reads! 

It's an interesting topic for Halloween.

The most memorable spooky movie is Casper's Haunted Christmas.

It's a very old animated movie, and it reminds me of Halloween season the most. Is it too obvious that I'm old?

I’ve got to watch this with my boys, 6 and 9 years old, this month.

I watched this and it was honestly very scary and there are few more podcasts of this guy.

I watched recently web series The Haunting of Bly Manor and horror move Evil Dead Rise. Really enjoyed. But no one can beat most horrible hindi Bollywood movie Vivah. I watched that movie long time back, I think in year 2006 or 2007 with my family and left it in between. 😬

We also enjoyed Wednesday as a family!
