Watched this Month:

• Slender Man (2018) — 2.5 ⭐
  • Eh… about as bad as I expected it to be.
• Head Count (2018) — 4 ⭐ — Netflix
  • Easily one of the best creepypasta-inspired films I’ve ever seen. I didn’t love the SFX at the end, but there were some legit creepy moments leading up to it!
• Lizzie (2018) — 5 ?
  • Wow, my heart called and would like to know if Chloe Sevigny and Kristen Stewart could please kindly step off of it for two seconds? This film was SO breathtakingly sad and gorgeous (and so queer!).

Listened to this Month:

• Ice Nine Kills — ‘The Silver Scream’ album
  • I would say I’m back on my bullshit, but to be fair, I’ve listened to this band every day for a year straight now… but this album is almost all I’ve listened to for weeks.
• Ben Howard
• Flora Cash
• Leprous — ‘Alleviate’ and ‘Below‘
• Judah & the Lion — ‘Take it All Back 2.0‘

Played this Month:

• Lily’s Garden
  • If you don’t fuck with mobile gaming, I don’t fuck with you ??

My Favorite Non-Review Posts of the Month:

• Diverse MG titles

• State of the ARC

My Favorite Posts from OTHER Bloggers This Month:

• Sadly, I’m very behind on blog hopping, and typing this post up at the last minute (as in, late at night and just a few hours before it will go live), so I’ll just make an extra-long list of recommendations in my October wrap-up post!
