Well friends it had to happen sometime - I‘ve got sick this #scarathlon 😢 I was meant to go to an all night scream marathon tonight which I booked months ago but I‘ve had to stay home. It‘s gonna be just me, scream on the telly, a little bit of masters reading, and some witchy books for those word search points #skeletoncrew

Emilymdxn @Itchyfeetreader thank you! Luckily I can be pretty sure it‘s not Covid cause I‘ve been testing religiously for a work event that they were determined not to make a super spreader event last Wednesday and I still have so many test kits - at least I was clean for that! 13mo

This was very easy to read despite being a very long and comprehensive history of horror movies. I learned SO much, and I loved how it was organised by theme rather than just chronology. The chapter on slashers was my favourite, potentially because I‘m just a sucker for 90s teen horror. I can see why people call this The book on horror movies

annamatopoetry oooh putting this on the "potential presents" list for partner 4y

And lastly, some more brilliant spooky movies to watch around Halloween. My husband and I have a date night planned to go see It: Chapter 2 once he‘s back in town from work! 😅

#TeamSlaughter #Scarthlon

jb72 I really enjoyed It chapter 2. Let me know what you think. 5y
Lizpixie @Clwojick quick question, do ghosts and haunting books count as #TeamSlaughter books if people die in them? 5y
TorieStorieS Have teams been announced? 5y

Clwojick @Lizpixie yeah, if it has some sort of mystery to the story, or if you find it thrilling I‘d say so. 5y
Clwojick @TorieStorieS yes! Did you sign up? I didn‘t see your form, but we had a few people who didn‘t enter their Litsy handle into the form? The forms still open if you want to fill it out, and we can get you on a team ASAP! 5y
TorieStorieS I could‘ve sworn I submitted the form already, but I just filled it out again!! Thanks!!🎃🎃🎃 5y
Clwojick @TorieStorieS okay, you‘re going to be on #TeamStoker. ♥️☠️🖤🎃 5y
TorieStorieS Thanks!!! 🧛🏻‍♂️🧛🏻‍♂️🧛🏻‍♂️ 5y

There are SOOOO many good spooky/Halloween/monster movies out there, but theses are my TOP 5 that I hope to watch during October. I can‘t wait to start collecting points for #TeamSlaughter 🖤🙌🏻

JacqMac I need to get started on my stacks and lists. So looking forward to this! 5y
RainyDayReading So excited for this! Out of curiosity, would spooky TV shows count? I don‘t have that many movies I was planning to watch but I was thinking about The Haunting of Hill House, Lore etc. Can we earn points for those or is it just movies? Totally fine if we can‘t, just thought I‘d ask. 5y
Clwojick @RainyDayReading We've had a few people ask this. We‘ve decided that TV episodes will not count, due to a matter of scoring. It‘s too hard to track how many episodes everyone watches. 5y

Kappadeemom I‘ve never watched The Shining, so I plan on watching that one tomorrow night 🖤 5y
RainyDayReading @Clwojick Totally makes sense, thought I‘d ask anyway. Makes it easier on me since that‘s one less thing I have to keep track of haha. And each movie we watch only counts once right? I watch Hocus Pocus and Practical Magic several times during October, but I only get points for the first time I watch them correct? 5y
Clwojick @Kappadeemom Same! I‘ve never seen it! 5y
Clwojick @RainyDayReading I‘ll get back to you on that one after I‘ve chatted with @TheReadingMermaid . I should have a definitive answer for you by tomorrow ♥️ 5y
RainyDayReading @Clwojick Okay no worries! Just want to make sure that I keep track of my points correctly 😊 5y
Clwojick @RainyDayReading okay, so we decided that each movie would only count for points the first time you watch it during October. As well as books the first time you read them during the month. That‘s seems the most fair, we think. 5y
