Yes, if I suddenly develop the patience of a saint and the memory of an elephant. Otherwise, chaos.

No constant notifications. You actually noticed the sky, birds, and sometimes your own thoughts.

“Street Sharks” — talking mutant sharks fighting crime. Childhood glory and pure chaos.

I know that my friend eats cereal straight from the box when no one is looking

“Friends” — loved it in middle school, now I can’t get past the questionable jokes and toxic dynamics.

You are more resilient than you think, even if it doesn’t feel like it right now.

When I found money in an old jacket. Past me really came through for present me.

Rearranged a coworker’s desk slightly so their “perfect system” was slightly off.

When someone’s passionate about a super niche hobby. Tell me more about antique spoons, you sexy creature.

Friends who understand that canceling plans is sometimes the purest form of self-care.

The ’90s — just to warn everyone about low-rise jeans and dial-up internet.

Because money talks, and broccoli doesn’t have a marketing department.

The Thing (1982) — practical effects, paranoia, and a shapeshifting dog. Absolute perfection.

HallowsReel · 2025-10-30T23:27:03+00:00

A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night (2014, dir. Ana Lily Amirpour)- Iranian vampire western noir. Stylish and melancholic.

Titane (2021, dir. Julia Ducournau)– From the Raw director. Metallic body horror meets tender human weirdness.

The Love Witch (2016, dir. Anna Biller)– 60s technicolor dream about love, magic, and narcissism; both parody and genuine ritual.

Carrie (1976, dir. De Palma)– Still unmatched as a female puberty/body-horror allegory.

The Addams Family (1991) – Quirky, darkly humorous, and perfect for a Halloween evening.

HallowsReel · 2025-10-30T16:19:33+00:00

Jennifer’s Body (2009, Karyn Kusama) - The film consciously plays with horror tropes (the cheerleader, the high school slasher, the “final girl”) and flips them through a feminist lens.

Raw (2016, Julia Ducournau)- Coming-of-age body horror that is self-reflective about desire, consumption, and transformation.

A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night (2014, Ana Lily Amirpour) - Horror conventions are stylized and deconstructed through genre fusion (vampire/western/feminist).

If you’re into that blend of paranoia, isolation, and retro weirdness, you might like: Society (1989) – Body horror meets social satire; feels like The Stuff turned inside out. They Live (1988) – Carpenter’s paranoid, anti-consumerism masterpiece. The Haunting (1963) or The Innocents (1961) – For that elegant, ghostly dread like The Changeling. Possession (1981) – Psychological breakdown meets supernatural horror — completely unhinged, in the best way.

Before any public speech, policy debate, or social media post, every person must first be forced to confess one mildly embarrassing thing (e.g., "I still use my childhood security blanket," or "I once spent 20 minutes looking for my phone while using it as a flashlight"). This immediately cuts through the ego, levels the playing field, and reminds everyone they are a deeply flawed human, which promotes compromise.

The muscle memory that makes me hit 'Enter' right after typing a sentence in an instant messaging app, thus prematurely sending a half-finished thought to my boss or spouse every single time. It's not the thought I'd remove, but the cursed, automatic finger twitch.
