Everybody’s entitled to at least one good scare

So stated Charles Cyphers’ Sherriff Brackett in John Carpenter’s seminal basic, Halloween… He additionally stated it in David Gordon Inexperienced’s not-so-seminal Halloween Kills, regardless of it being 40 years later, and no person within the scene having been on-site for the primary time he stated it. Nonetheless, that’s the DGG Halloween trilogy to a tee: Keep in mind that? Right here it’s once more! (additionally, mobs are dangerous). I noticed Halloween Ends. I don’t hate it like most hate it, however it does really feel like a movie made whereas the crew was laughing and saying “The followers can be SO mad!”

Howdy mates, and welcome to this tremendous scary version of Whatcha Been Enjoying? And by “tremendous scary” I imply, “It was actually scary on Tuesday when a flood fully ruined my kitchen and made me cry”. I respect the assist lent to me in Qposts and social media, and repairs are at present in course of. It was a nightmare, and I needed to transfer out for a bit, however it might have been a lot worse, and all of us should be glad about the small mercies. The water didn’t hit my Fortunate Chloe figurine, is what I’m saying.

I’m additionally too busy for gaming this weekend, as I’m heading out of city for an industry-based Halloween celebration. It’s the primary celebration I’ve attended in lots of, a few years, and would be the first time I’ve worn a “costume” as such in a long time, so it’s a bit bizarre and I’m somewhat anxious, however it needs to be enjoyable. I’m decided to go, so as to salvage one thing from the week and get away from my smelly home.

My costume? Effectively, I might go as one thing immediately recognizable, however as an alternative, I’m going to be awkward and clunky and go because the villainous Rose the Hat from Stephen King’s Physician Sleep. I’m doing this as a result of I like that film, I like Rebecca Ferguson, and I don’t assume I can pull off Dune‘s Woman Jessica of the Atreides. Are these the one causes? I can’t get into that. If I look good, I’ll share pictures within the feedback, Qposts, or on my Twitter. Solely if I look good, nonetheless.

A reader recommended I ought to go as Juri… Lordy, I do know Halloween is supposed to be scary, however…
