One of my new magnetic bookmarks from Furever Booked (found on IG - fureverbooked). I grabbed a few spooky ones for myself and a few Taylor Swift bookmarks for my 10 year old 😁

Watch List 🎥✅ “Halloween II”

Why are they always making hospitals so dark at night? The one I work at is lit up like Las Vegas at night.

Here‘s my #scarathlon watch list! These 10 are just the start of what I plan to watch but I thought they were a good representation of the truly scary and scary adjacent mix I‘m planning. I truly like it all! #skeletoncrew I‘ll share my spooky book TBR tomorrow!

Emilymdxn Some great pics here! I watch Scream and Halloween every year they are my all time favourites 🎃 1y

I don‘t know why I‘ve had such a hard time remembering to post every day during #scarathlon2022 🤦🏼‍♀️. I‘m working on our weekly extra points game, reading/listening a lot, and watching tons of movies I‘ve just got to remember to post! Here are some of the movies/shows over the last few days: I watched all 7 episodes of The Watcher, 2 more episodes of Chucky, a Halloween episode of Bob‘s Burgers, and the movies 1408 and Halloween II. +61 points

Here‘s just a sampling of the scary movies I‘ll be watching for #scarathlon 2022! I always go hard into the spooky shows and movies every October so this is the easiest way for me to get lots of points for #teamslaughter 🤣!

TheRiehlDeal I was surprised with how good Ready or Not was! Didn‘t expect there to be comedic moments interspersed throughout the movie. 2y
candc320 @TheRiehlDeal I know, it‘s become a new favorite! 2y

So hype about podcasts being added to scarathlon scores! My favorite is Spooked with Glynn Washington, which is people telling their own spooky experiences. The Gallows was okay, but I‘ve literally only seen one good “found footage” movie. Freaky was fantastic, which I really wasn‘t expecting, but delightfully surprising.

Watching Monster House with the family. Decided it got too scary for kiddo 3/4 way through & did some fast forwarding. I would say it‘s for 9 and older. Fun Halloween mood, though. 🎃 #hauntedhouse #Scarathalon2021 #Halloweenmovies

Insomnia has me taking random quizzes on buzzfeed, cause why not?!? 😂

I was quite pleased with my results for who I would be in a horror movie.

So, who would you be?

LauraJ Same. They should have put some things that are actually scary in that quiz. 😈 5y

I've hit that point in the night where I can't sleep but my eyes cannot focus anymore. Anybody else ever have that problem? I decided that putting on a movie will be better than trying to keep reading. So I'm watching The Craft. Scary movie 11/50

overtheedge Great movie! 5y
InkedBookworm13 @bullbunny I'm actually excited. I grew up on this movie and I loved it. My daughter loves it. So I'm excited to see what a bigger budget and newer special effects can do to it. 5y

Clwojick hahah! I repeatedly said “ No.nope. NOPE. nope.“ throughout the whole movie last night when we went to see It, so i can certainly relate. 5y

I‘ve decamped to the lounge room to watch this ghost story for the #Scareathlon on our big screen tv. This horror movie is right up my alley, it‘s suspense & dread that builds until you‘re too scared to look over your own shoulder, instead of blood & gore. Much more creepier. Think of the best horror movies, The Shining, The Exorcist & The Sixth Sense are all perfect examples. Another 2points to #TeamSlaughter #PointsTotal - 9
