Soylent Green 1973 film
I finally finished Messenger by Edward Lee! I rate it a solid 4/10. I felt it was a bit cheesy at some points. Hopefully the next book of his I read will make up for it. I’m finally able to start reading this book though! I can’t wait to see the difference between the book and movie
EDIT: the book had writing in it and I couldn’t get passed it so I have a new copy on reserve at Barnes N Nobles. Going to read Requiem for a Dream instead.
I hope you enjoy the book! Let us know
23 days away One for the clown lovers On their way to Las Vegas for a pair of bachelor’s and bachelorette's parties, Colton and Lacey run into some car trouble. They find shelter at Motel Ace, located in Middle-of-Nowhere, Nevada. They’re welcomed by a quiet clerk and they meet a cast of interesting travelers. They expect a quiet, romantic night at a dingy motel as they wait for the mechanic. Then they hear the screaming in the other rooms. Then they see the clowns outside. And those violent, deformed clowns want to come into their room to play…
In the blink of an eye, a peaceful night transforms into a battle for survival and a motel becomes a bloody battleground.
Jon Athan, the author of Cannibal Jungle and The Law of Retaliation, returns to his roots with this gruesome, suspenseful slasher novel inspired by the 2016 clown sightings. A ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign can’t keep these clowns away!
WARNING: This novel contains graphic content. Reader discretion is advised.

The official novelization of Terrifier 2 is out. Hope yall enjoy
Shall we play a game?
22 days away Ive been searching high and low at every thrift and goodwill stores hoping this one will pop up "They're just kids ... It's only a game." That's what Barbara, a lovely twenty-year-old babysitter told herself when she awoke bound and gagged. But the knots were tight and painful and the children would not let her go. "They're just kids ... It's only a game," she told herself again. But the terror was real ... and deadly! In the decades since its original publication, Mendal W. Johnson's bestseller Let's Go Play at the Adams' (1974) has gained a reputation as one of the most harrowing horror novels ever written, and copies have long been unobtainable except at exorbitant prices. This edition reproduces the original paperback cover art and features a new introduction by Grady Hendrix (Paperbacks from Hell), in which details about this cult masterpiece's enigmatic author are revealed for the first time.

21(?) days away from Halloween Many Indigenous people believe that one should never whistle at night. This belief takes many forms: for instance, Native Hawaiians believe it summons the Hukai’po, the spirits of ancient warriors, and Native Mexicans say it calls Lechuza, a witch that can transform into an owl. But what all these legends hold in common is the certainty that whistling at night can cause evil spirits to appear—and even follow you home.
These wholly original and shiver-inducing tales introduce readers to ghosts, curses, hauntings, monstrous creatures, complex family legacies, desperate deeds, and chilling acts of revenge. Introduced and contextualized by bestselling author Stephen Graham Jones, these stories are a celebration of Indigenous peoples’ survival and imagination, and a glorious reveling in all the things an ill-advised whistle might summon.
If I decorate for Halloween (which I happen to have never done before), it will definitely be with these adorable little creatures...

@SunsetSnuggles you should definitely decorate! It’ll be so liberating for you. Break the shackles of your childhood
@MajesticMango From nary a pumpkin, to Satanic symbolism is quite the leap. 🤣 I'll think about it. 😁 🐈⬛🕯
@SunsetSnuggles we all gotta start somewhere 😂
This past weekend, my boyfriend and I watched Evil Dead (2013), and The Belko Experiment.
I enjoyed both, but especially the latter.
Major spoilers for The Belko Experiment...
"You didn't change anything." "Neither did you."
Mike's morals didn't save anyone from dying.
Norris' killing didn't save anyone from dying.
Good lost. Evil lost.
"Our new God", as Norris deemed The Voice at one point, triumphed over both good and evil.
The cliche question, which really is the premise to the movie... "If you could press a button to kill a million people, but save the lives of two million" or whatever, was painfully irrelevant in the end.
Both choices lost. Everyone died anyway.
And in the end, our moral hero Mike...gave in and became a killer, as well.
But unlike the other killers, by the time he does it, we're understanding, even cheering him on.
I thought it was fascinating and deep stuff, especially for a horror movie.
If anyone replies, please be courteous to others, and use Spoiler tags, like the following:

@MajesticMango Actually that is van Gough’s posthumous self portrait.
20 days until Halloween His wife has left him, his father is sinking into dementia, and Marcos tries not to think too hard about how he makes a living. After all, it happened so quickly. First, it was reported that an infectious virus has made all animal meat poisonous to humans. Then governments initiated the “Transition.” Now, eating human meat—“special meat”—is legal. Marcos tries to stick to numbers, consignments, processing.
Then one day he’s given a gift: a live specimen of the finest quality. Though he’s aware that any form of personal contact is forbidden on pain of death, little by little he starts to treat her like a human being. And soon, he becomes tortured by what has been lost—and what might still be saved.
@lonelytauros 😆😆😆
Funny! 😆

I had a 13 hour road trip and I spent that time going down a small rabbit hole 🕳️
I watched The Evil Dead. I thought it was going to be similar to The Cabin in the Woods but thankfully they’re two completely different movies with two completely different plots. It’s confirmed, anything to do with the Achilles heel is a no go for me.
I watched the 2006 version of The Hills Have Eyes. I’m more of a fan of the original 1977 version.
Bummed me out they made the least favorite character the hero
Night of the Living Dead, I have a huge love for zombie movies so I had to watch it.
I saw Rob Zombie made a Halloween movie and being a fan of his movies I pressed play. His Halloween movie is just another reminder why I love his stuff.
I’m throwing Apocalypto in this cause even though it’s not a scary movie it did have some scenes that could make someone squirm. I had no clue Mel Gibson directed it! I started watching it and realized I had seen the movie in my preteen days and I couldn’t believe it😅
Anyways! I’m excited to watch Dawn of the Dead for Week 2 Movie Watch!
We watched They Live, tonight.
So cute how wholesome 80's movies were; Hollywood just doesn't act like that, anymore.
I was surprised to find a young, attractive Keith David in this movie.
I have really only seen him in political-type roles as a much older man. He was giving me strong Tyrese vibes, circa 2 Fast 2 Furious:
As for spoilers...
19 days away from Halloween 🎃 I’m digging the “My Dark Library” might use that in the future for books to share on here Mother Horror presents:
Los Angeles fashion model Helen Troy wasn’t always skinny. Drastic weight loss has given her everything–money, confidence, attention, respect. Being thin has legitimized her, and starvation has become an addiction.
Following an encounter with a seemingly “perfect” rival model who destabilizes Helen’s shaky self-confidence and shatters her fragile illusion of control, she’s sent into a tragic tailspin that will take her to the lowest depths of hell. Nightmarish versions of herself begin materializing in mirrors, and her tried-and-true coping mechanisms stop working. Reality comes apart at the seams as Helen’s disease manifests in increasingly self-destructive fashions, forcing her to ask herself…
What does perfection look like, and how much would you sacrifice to obtain it?
Don’t read with the lights on…this is My Dark Library.
A collection of novellas curated by Sadie “Mother Horror” Hartmann to represent her favorite themes, tropes, and subgenres in horror fiction today.
“No blurb will be able to fully convey how great this book is. Chandler Morrison’s voice is unique, stylish and powerful. Required reading for fans of Brett Easton Ellis, Tom Piccirilli or Chuck Palahniuk.”
– Brian Keene, Author of Ghoul
“#thighgap is a story of abyssal redemption. A frozen palace of beautiful and broken people. It’s brutal and tragically sexy and doesn’t shy away from any of its dark interiors.”
– Autumn Christian, Author of Girl Like a Bomb
