Megan keep fighting the good fight. It is day 189 of this year and in my techo. Without you and your channel I'd have no idea what a techo even is. I'm still grinding out this A6 because I feel like I've crossed the Rubicon. I can't wait to bump up to an A5. In my psychology notebook I've started doing a monthly reflection session where I read through the techo and my notebook and reflect on the completed month. Victories, failures, trials, struggles, etc. Your content and style are dope. You're making a difference whether you realize it or not. Keep going off Queen, whenever you feel like you can.
One of my favorite spooky movies that you may not of heard of is A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, its about a lonely vampire and how she haunts an Iranian town
My fav spooky movie is Clue, plus it’s great for some laughs. I love those moody whodunit mystery, old Hollywood, spooky mansion vibes. Highly recommend!🤗
Ooh also along those lines, if you like mystery/crime tv series, I suggest looking into Nordic noir shows. They can be a bit slow moving, but the plots\storylines are so good compared to the very formulaic US shows like CSI etc. and are usually pretty moody. I love hearing the Nordic/Scandinavian languages & the subtitles keep me from looking at my phone while I watch. One of the more popular ones is The Bridge. My favorites are also Trapped, The Cliff/The Lava Field, Deadwind, & Bordertown and are good places to start if you’re interested!
some of my favourite (slightly) less obvious horrors are: the innocents (1961), carnival of souls (1962), the blackcoat's daughter (2015), the cabinet of dr. caligari (1920), lake mungo (2008), i am the pretty thing that lives in the house (2016), eyes without a face (1960), november (2017) and you won't be alone (2022)! i am a big fan of eerie/ominous vibes in horror and these films reflect that 🦇
I love the movie Only Lovers Left Alive. It’s about vampires, and is very atmospheric (some might say gloomy!) and it doesn’t take itself super seriously but is somehow very horrifying in its own way. It’s also quite slow in the way it unfolds. But I love it and have watched it so many times.
i do like horror but my absolute favourite movie is 1917! hope you feel better soon & wishing you the best! i love these journal with me videos because i always journal to your videos anyways!!❤️🩹
we love a good dog snoring asmr in this house!!! not to be a psych student stereotype, but i think my fave horror movie has to be the silence of the lambs
I'm definitely NOT coping well this summer, worse than last year. I've been going through burnout the past one/two months and I'm struggling, literally feels like I'm fighting for my life every single day. I'm taking it day by day but it has been so hard and overwhelming and some days I honestly don't know what to do to cope. Thanks so much for your content, it's so soothing and lovely
Not a movie but the Hannibal tv show. Love, love, love it! Think you’ve already watched these but Sleepy Hollow is one of my comfort films, so is Dracula with Gary Oldman Shed of the dead- super tacky b-movie horror!
I just want to say thanks for sharing your life and struggles! I just got an aspergers diagnosis and started researching and found journaling could help. And that lead to another rabbithole, where I found you. It is really nice to find someone who I can really relate to, so have spent the last day or so binging your videos 😊
spooky/gloomy/horror movie recs: a while ago a friend and i watched this kiwi horror film "deathgasm" it was so bad but so good abkdjfslkd. also rewatched ginger snaps this week which is always a classic, that film makes me cryyyy realised you can edit these: oh my god an obscure horror film i can actually recommend w my whole chest is black sheep !!!!! kiwi horror-comedy but the comedy is not in your face. really good practical effects !!!
Donnie Darko is my comfort movie, I just recently rewatched it. It brings me so much comfort when things or I feel wonky. I just started college full time and in person for the last half of my degree and its been such a huge change in routine, that i'm getting the urge to watch it during any of my free time to cleanse my brain
I love the journal with me videos for body doubling! Especially with the chatting, Ive only just found your videos but I love working with other people/chatting but unfortunately I work at home by myself so these videos have been really helping
one of my favorite horrors is a slasher called Green Room! i also have been dealing with fogginess and dissociation. the heat definitely doesn’t help 😅 lovely video🤍
honestly I love hear you talking about anything, and it's so fun to see your thoughts behind the layouts and materials you use. I've always loved stationary items and i've been learning so much about different kinds of things with your videos!! I actually gave a try on a binder style notebook (like your filofax) and it changed my studying for the better, as i'm constantly switching between subjects but now i can keep it very in a very organized and logic order.
One of my favourite horrors is Perfect Blue, it's an animated film and is a psychological thriller that I adore the art style of. I really liked another film by the same director called Paprika - which is also a v weird film :)
It sounds like your nervous system is dysregulating a lot rn which sucks 🥺 People often forget just how physical autism and adhd are in many. Hopefully when it’s not pollen/storm szn you’ll begin to feel better than you do now! Thank you for continuing to post content throughout all this. 😘
I love that TK Maxx is on it with halloween already! I was just there today and dropped £55 on stuff. They’ve got these gorgeous food storage containers, white with black bats or skulls, and black with white skulls, one is a large soup mug, the other is like a small dish, the quality is outstanding! They’ve got microwaveable lids, they can go in the oven and dishwasher and they like etched on, rather than paint or print. My favourite horror is Dog Soldiers, it’s low-budget, classic British witty one-liners, and the accents remind me of home, I believe one guy is from Sheffield and one guy is from Middlesbrough.
I cannot for the life of me watch horror movies (or movies in general) but I recently watched Nimona and have not recovered emotionally (but it was a happy ending dw) like I was sobbing for an hour 10/10 would recommend
i really enjoy these journaling videos of yours! I've been having troubles sleeping lately, I can only get a few hours in per day and never when I need to be asleep either so it sucks? I watch your videos and your voice kind of helps me sleep at night, it's really soothing to me also my current fav spooky movie is crimson peak! but my all time favorite horror movie is definitely shutter (thai vers). netflix has the 2008 remake but if you can get your hands on the 2004 thai version it's great
My fav horror/spooky movies are Coraline, Nightmare Before Christmas and Horns!! Oh, and for "just" spooky gloomy media I absolutely love Christine McConnel's Netflix series and her TH-cam channel
I just rotated out of a lack of sleep cycle. The foggy feeling is a real struggle. Unsure what caused it but now I feel to be cycling back to needing to sleep all the time. I strive to keep a sleep schedule but it’s a struggle. Don’t hesitate to talk about it. The lack of knowing can be difficult. And I love your videos! ❤
Not really spooky but I love Donnie Darko and The Craft. I also love animated Halloween specials that I watched as a kid (Casper, Alvin and the Chipmunks, etc 😂), they just feel like a warm hug, and I normally watch them as a pre spooky season ritual.
wednesdays snores are so cute omg. i also love the insidious franchise so much!! my favorite horror movies are scream and texas chainsaw! i really like slashers. my favorite non-slashers though are as above so below and the others!
Favourite comfort horror movie (lol never thought I'd say comfort horror) is definitely the first Conjuring! I loved that film so much and Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga are chef's kiss! I think one of the scariest for me, personally, is Annabelle: Creation. Arguably, one of the best in the Conjuring universe and defo the best Annabelle film. I also adore The Ring (2002)! Kind of miss early 2000's horror. Oooo I definitely need to mention Deliver Us From Evil with Eric Bana! Such an underrated horror film and tbh I wish there were more horror/detective/mystery films and Eric Bana in this was amazing!
Here's a list of horror movies I like: - A classic horror story on Netflix is very meta and fun in a slasher way. It's bad but in a good way. - Anything made by Darren Aronofsky : People mostly know about Black Swan but Mother is an absolute masterpiece. - Suspiria. Either the original one or the remake. - Crimson Peaks : It's not horror per se but the gothic atmosphere is really cool.
ive also been so sleepy eepy lately! i like get washed and dressed and then have to sit for an hour resting before i can get work done, this warm weather and th grass pollen is making my brain to soup!! heres hoping both of us feel better soon! and also in terms of horror films there is a horror film on youtube i watched called 'savage land' on the 'kings of horror' yt channel i think it was called? i didnt find it like scary but its really cool and so well done!! zombie found footage mockumentary in like the slightly over dramatic american documentary way, but instead of found footage being video its developed photographs, and how they make the photographs look is so so cool!! so eerie! the acting isnt oscar worthy but it feels very real :3 !!
Right now I’d have to say my favorite horror/spooky movie is Jeepers Creepers. I get the tune stuck in my head every time I think about it 😂 Love Wednesday’s snores 💕 Take care.
I really love those journal with me videos for body doubling ! You said you also watched that kind of videos, do you have recommendations of other channels ?
this was really helpful for me to sit down and do some writing for the 1st time in a while, if you want a good tv show that has some spooky vibes but is mostly comedy i highly recommend search party
My husband has always liked scary films (I never got into it because I had very vivid nightmares for a good chuck of my high school years, due to depression) and got me watching them when we got together. Generally speaking I'm not particularly excited to see any horror movies but I will say I did actually enjoy Deliver Us From Evil and The Invitation. I tend to be more okay with suspense/thriller and less into gore. Oh, we did recently watch the original Japanese The Ring and I'd give it a thumbs up. I hope the weirdness flares down soon and thank you for pushing through and making videos. I know we're all rooting for you ❤🩹
One of my favorite movies of all time is Annihilation. It's definitely less gloomy and more existential horror. It deals with how change is frightening and will always destroy what was there in the first place, but that doesn't mean that the new has to be better or worse, it's just different. Very great movie.
Ooooo I've been on a kick lately with atmospheric/mellow-ish horror, especially haunted house stuff (like Amityville Horror, The Conjuring, etc etc). I think some of these are in the same vein and are pretty overlooked: The Nesting (1981), Ghost Story (1981) and Let's Scare Jessica to Death (1971). Honorable mention to The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane (1976) it's more of a thriller but the vibe is right!
Yesss, I’m super excited for the last insidious movie!!! I was also really surprised to see a trailer but it was a happy surprise! I love horror movies as well and just about once a week my sister, their friend, and I FaceTime each other and watch horror movies together. Ngl I have a an ongoing list of my fav horror movies cause it’s so hard to choose just one 😫 but a couple of my favs are - Incantation - Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum - Hell House: LLC - The Ring (2002) - The Descent - Silent Hill (2006) - Noroi: The Curse I constantly go back to these movies and I see them as my comfort horror movies if that makes sense. My sister and I are actually trying to collect the physical copies of our fav horror movies from thrift stores. I especially love when there is like little pamphlets and adverts inside the DVD cases it’s like a little time capsule! Horror and physical media are like 2 of my top special interests at the moment and I love that I can combine the two ❤
I think if i had to say one fav movie it would be Nightmare on Elm Street (the original). I recently watched Renfield and it was absolutely ridiculous, i loved it. I also rewatch The exorcism of Emily Rose and Ready or Not, and watched the last Scream movie, loved it to pieces.
i dont have any movies to recommend but theres this gloomy video game called birth that seems like something you would enjoy. its a short game, made of puzzles (they arent too difficult) and its handdrawn and has a nice vibe to it. Basically its about building a friend because of loneliness. its on steam and available for mac and windows +your videos, no matter what type, bring lots of peace for me. its become like a routine to watch them every weekend/upload
horror movie rec time!! (sorry for going overboard, i don't have any friends who like horror movies so all my recs are coming out here TT) - coraline (classic animation horror, love love love it!) - nope (horror, thriller, and everything in between, it's a doozy but it's so good!!) - last night in soho (time traveling horror, it's kind of messy but anya taylor joy is so good always) - the call (korean time-traveling horror/thriller, it's got an interest premise even if it isn't perfect) - detention (2019 taiwanese horror movie based on the video game of the same name, set in a historical period of martial law where the students are running from spooky ghosts) - marrowbone (a family trying to figure out what's going on with the presence haunting them in their childhood home; also a bit messy but i still really enjoyed it!) - crimson peak (period horror, the fashion and vibes of this one are immaculate) - housebound (a wonderful comedy horror about a woman trying to survive living with a ghost while on house arrest) - it follows (genuinely spooky premise about a ghost who will follow you until you pass it on to someone else, still gives me the creeps to this day) - stoker (more thriller than horror but it is, as my sister puts it, "sick and twisted" so it gets a mention; a strange girl tries to figure out why her unsettling uncle has shown up at her house on her 18th bday)
Ginger Snaps is my go-to spooky film. Werewolf coming of age; it’s totally unhinged and I love it so much. And from one chronic illness person to another: one day at a time. We’re rooting for you.
Yes we have tjmaxx instead of tkmaxx but we have homegoods AND homesense. And Marshall’s (which has a higher ratio of clothing and cosmetic items than home items/decor). Homegoods is a lot more common than homesense (at least where I am it’s that way, I’ve only ever seen 1 homesense here).
kotoko! not a favorite but it was the most recent horror film i've watched. i actually thought that it was just a drama so i watched it at night after being intrigued by its poster in pinterest. i was terrified throughout the film but kept thinking that "this is just a drama, this is just a drama", so i got through it. but there were really lots of visually striking events in there, something that are quite unforgettable, would rlly recommend it to someone who loves spooky stuff ❤
I love insidious too! I think my fav scary movies are the conjuring (1st 2nd 3rd… didn’t like the last one)trick r treat… I also like cute spooky movies like the haunted mansion which also has a new movie coming out this month!
Not sure if these are quite what you're looking for, but my favorite moody/comfort movies are Coraline and Corpse Bride... if you might be interested in parodies, Mel Brooks' 'Dracula Dead and Loving It' and 'Young Frankenstein' are fun... Silence of the Lambs and Red Dragon are also good...
I love horror! my absolute favourite movies are Blair Witch Project (1999), As Above So Below, [rec], paranormal activity bit cliché probably but they're a good spook and after rewatching them so many times I enjoy the comfort of knowing what's gonna happen and the atmosphere
Fav modern horror movie 🦇🩸⚰️☠️ has to be The nun. But I do love a bit of the older stuff, like Children of the Corn or Jeepers Creepers or My Bloody Valentines or Constantine (it’s not scary but it gives me spooky vibes) Okay last one has to be Evil Dead Rise.
Hi Megan! I hope your health issues get better soon! They sound horrible. You’re very strong for dealing with all that. My favorite scary movies are mostly the older classic ones. I’m not brave enough for the realistic modern ones lol. I really like Night of the Living Dead. Also, it’s not a horror movie, but the original Godzilla movie is kinda spooky and has themes of doom and fear throughout the whole movie. Also, if you’ve never watched it (I suggest because you mentioned you get tired sitting through full movies), the original Twilight Zone show is perfect for sometimes spooky, otherworldly vibes. And each episode is only like 25 mins long.
I have different horrors for different vibes; spooky horror, mystery horror, comedy nostalgia horror. Some of my favourites have already been mentioned; Dog Soldiers (doesn't get enough love imho!), the original Nightmare on Elm Street, The Craft, but I also love Sleepy Hollow, the original Candyman, the first Evil Dead, From Dusk Til Dawn, The Grudge, The Witch (2016) for spooky / what the hell is going on vibes, Gothika for a psychological horror and Return of the Living Dead (1985) for a camp horror comedy. The best horror tv series I've seen are the first season of American Horror Story and The Haunting of Hill House. Ash vs Evil Dead is good for a comedy horror / knows it's silly kind of show as well as the rest of the Evil Dead films. And Doctor Strange Multiverse of Madness has strong 80's cult horror vibes and is directed or produced by Sam Reimi if you like that sort of thing.
I have not seen a horror movie or series for a long time. Here is a list of movies I saw a long time ago but still enjoyed although I do not like horror and most likely you already saw all of them: From Hell (2001, Victoria-era London, Jack the Ripper, Johnny Depp) Green Room (2015, it's more horror in regards what people can do to someone, not supernatural) Pandorum (2009, Sci-Fi, a little bit body horror and being afraid of what lurks in the dark and of other people, space) Werewolf by Night (2022, I think you could enjoy this one, it's in black and white) Tucker and Dale vs Evil (2010, a lot of blood, quite funny, no supernatural) Sleepy Hollow (1999, most likely you already know this movie, but it still has a great atmosphere, still enjoy it a lot) Death Becomes Her (1992, it's more comedy with body horror) Ghost Ship (2002, ghosts, ships on open sea, doesn't have great rating on IMDB, to me it was really creepy) Constantine (2005, Keanu Reeves, I would say one of his best roles , Lucifer was great, I enjoyed this movie very much) The Descent (2005, still creeps me out to this day! I do not like caves!) Final Destination (2000, good old fun) The Others (2001, Nicole Kidman, a really good movie!) The Cabin in the Woods (2011, supernatural, a lot of fun, I enjoyed this movie) The Pale Blue Eye (2022, Edgar Allen Poe adaption, I enjoyed the atmosphere, a movie with snow is always a winner for me, everything is better with snow) The Faculty (1998, great movie, body horror, Sci-Fi, teens, high-school) Disturbing Behavior (1998, another horror teen movie form my teen years) Fargo (1996, it's not really horror, more crime and mystery, but all the snow gives me life!) Snow White: A Tale of Terror (1997, MAYBE this one you do not know, If I'm lucky 😉, with Sigourney Weaver, a very dark Snow White adaptation) Hearing you talk about summer reminds me of my summer seasonal affective disorder. I'm not diagnosed officially but everything I read about it rings always 100% true to me. Just thinking about winter makes me happy!
i adore horror and the insidious franchise as well, made me so happy to hear you talk about it !! i’m also so excited for the new movie !! i wonder if you like the haunting of hill house/bly manor ? i feel like you would enjoy it :)
I love horror movies so much as well and I had no idea that a new insidious movie came out! My favorite horror genre is probably zombie or found footage (like Blair witch type stuff) and my favs are train to busan, world war z, and as above so below. But I also enjoyed the first two Rec movies (they’re in Spanish but they have the same vibe as as above so below)
Of of my favorite dark/gloomy movies is Pan's Labyrinth by Guilhermo Del toro, it mixes fantasy with historical aspects and it's amazing, i recommend checking the triggers list of this one as it does contain a lot of violence.
less obvious spooky/moody/gloomy films: Under the Skin (2013): its an amazingly unique indie horror where Scarlett Johansson drives around Scotland in a van - no spoilers but I feel like that's such a hooking description already no? its really cool because a lot of the interactions the main character has with others are actually interactions with members of the public who didn't know they were being filmed and were asked afterwards if they could keep the footage). I love this analysis of the film: th-cam.com/video/vpUIur5HOr0/w-d-xo.html Lamb (2021) - Icelandic horror about a strange sheep child, really really odd The House (2022) - a stop motion animated anthology of short thrillers/horrors surrounding the theme of houses and homes And I can't make a horror list without a shoutout to my fave horror of all time, The Thing (1982) - also there is a ~3 minute stop motion Pingu version on youtube that is also hilarious and summarises pretty much the entire plot of the film.
I'm very late to your comment question but, "Angel's Egg" is an 80's Anime Movie, kind of a gothic psychological horror that only has one scene of dialogue and revolves around a little girl in a bleak mysterious land filled with gothic castles and cities who carries around a large egg in hopes that one day it hatches. She meets a young man who decides to travel with her and tries to convince her that the egg will not hatch. It's really unsettling in a very intriguing way and hard to interpret with just one meaning! I definitely enjoyed it.
I love all of the videos you make. It feels like being on ft with a friend. I really like The Boy (2016). I consider it to be a horror movie, but it’s almost a thriller with how much build up there is. I hope you have a good upcoming week ❤
I can really relate to the fatigue you're talking about, I also deal quiet a bit with that... I only found out about the new Insidious movie yesterday because i keept getting trailer about It on youtube! But one of my favorite horror movie are Crimson peak, I know alot of people don't think of It as horror but I really like It.
I can't really watch much horror personally cuz it messes with my anxiety disorders in a bad way, but i did like to watch thrillers at one point? "The Host" by Bong Joon-Ho is a classic for me. Me and my partner also like watching "Wickerman" (1973). Also a norwegian one i thought was good(im norwegian) is "Thelma". Hope that helps!
Some horror movie favs are The Descent, Green Room, and the Alien series if those count haha. Also super excited about the new insidious!! Hope you're able to go see it :)
I’m not a horror fan, but I can offer you Return to Oz (which still haunts me to this day, decades after I watched it). Wednesday snoring is the best thing. 🐾🥰
Yes! As an adult I can appreciate the art of it more (really wish more of the books got films in this tone) and the fact that while it blends many of the books together, it follows the mood of those original books more than the Judy Garland movie did. The Wheelers are.... OK look those are STILL creepy let's be honest
I love movies a lot. My fav horrors are prob Misery and texas chainsaw massacre like the original one and The Descent (that’s one of the only ones that’s genuinely scary to me). I also reeeeeally love thrillers like The Lighthouse is so so so good and has perfect spooky vibes and Last Night in Soho and Black Swan. Those are just a few but I have so many more
It's kind of terrible but, The Descent. I watched them forever ago with my sister and recently got in the mood to rewatch the first one and maybe I just have claustrophobia/ a fear of being buried alive, but my fiance and I were sitting there squeezing each others hands, it was just really nice cause I feel like I haven't been genuinely scared in so long. Also, this is an anime/manga so I don't know if it counts, Ghost Hunt. It's one of my all time favorites I reread/ rewatch it often.
When I was growing up, I enjoyed watching Goosebumps and Are You Afraid Of The Dark? I haven’t thought about them in ages. I wonder what it’d be like to watch them now… quite likely this will turn out to be an embarrassing comment. p.s. I call my ultra sleepy and giggly state the “sleepy loopy” ❤ wishing you easy resting
I absolutely LOVE the Insidious series. I’m not big on scary movies (I’m a huge chicken) but for some reason I just enjoy following these movies 😅 maybe for the same reasons as you since I have a nasty relationship with unintentional lucid dreaming and PTSD night terrors 😢 it’s a really weird thing to talk about -which is why I usually don’t. But totally related to the Insidious segment
I love this kind of videos too, my favourite horrors right now are those with spooky forset vibes like significant other, the 2021 wrong turn and you won't be alone! Hope that some good movies can help a bit!
Every time I see someone write with frixion pen I warn them now. One day I found my notes from studying were disappeared/faded/done, cause it had been exposed to heat, maybe I left it in the car I can’t remember. Just something to keep in mind using that pen, especially with journalling it’ll be so sad to loose precious memories you had written down.
I have a bunch of shows I'm sorry but they're my favorites 🖤 so I love Haunting of Hill House and Haunting of Bly Manor (there's also Midnight Mass by the same director). Fear Street is more campy but still a vibe imo. and for something more gentle I really love Over The Garden Wall, it's like a cottagecore horror cartoon and I love it 🎃
Oh and favorite horror films: The 1979 cult classic ALIEN. And maybe the first Scream film. That feels like more of a thriller/slasher than a horror film though.
I don't like horror, but I have read a couple horror books, like T. Kingfisher's What Moves the Dead and These Hollow Places, and I've also read Cherie Priest's Maplecroft and Chapelwood duology and I enjoyed them
My first ever horror movie was Village of the damned. And then Carrie. Recently I watched Fear street and liked it. But Inhabern seen insidious and I am not sure if I want to watch it. Generally I am not into horror movies although I am intrigued. Take care. You are doing the best you can and that is enough.
new insidious movie…??? i am watching the trailer after i finish your video. omg nothing is like the first insidious movie. i was on edge! there had been nothing like that movie before. the further reminded me of my experiences with my dreams. i learned about astro travel because of that movie. insidious is definitely relatable. my favorite horror movies would be the shining, paranormal activity series, jeeper creepers…there are so many! the summer is always a problem for my health but it seems way worse now. i just cannot go outside and exist. i swear excessive daytime sleepiness, sleep attacks, and pots take turns beating me up. it is so frustrating!
If you’re still looking here for recs my fave movie (horror) is Shutter (2008). I must emphasize that this is the original and not the unnecessary American remake 😅
I most definitely did not mute you. I liked listening to you while I did my weekly set up. Maybe try doing fortnightly Attic Archives, that way you have 2 weeks worth of stuff to include. But also don't push yourself, these videos are still heaps of fun to watch.
favourite less obvious spooky movies/shows: The Last Unicorn [ spookier than it sounds], Cat People [the 1940s one], gaslight, the Carmilla TH-cam series, the skeleton twins
I tend to prefer gothic horror and/or sci fi horror (the isolation of space creates creepy, moody atmospheres). Pitch Black is one that I return to often (sci fi). I also like Crimson Peak for when I want something gothic. I also often turn to classics like The Haunting (1963) and Rebecca (1940).
Wednesday's snores! ❤❤ I LOVE horror movies! My favorite is the Conjuring. I think it's beautiful! Less popular one that u should check out is Grave Encounters (2011). Horror movies r amazing! They help me get through rough times. In-between state of mind is an interesting way of explaining it. I struggle to describe what I go through.
Not a horror person but I really love the channel ScaredyCatsTV which specialises in funny reviews of horror movies. Maybe you'll like it too! As for spooky-but-not-horror movies, no one can top David Lynch in that regard imo. I watched Lost Highway recently and was delightfully distrubed by the movie. On a different note, I really admire that you keep posting these beatiful journaling vids even though you are stuggling with health isues. I hope it gets easier soon. Wishing you all the best!
I don't have any advice, unfortunately. But do know I'm sending you all my love, energy I'm able to pull together. I know it's not quite the same but it kind of reminds me of when I go to therapy. I try to record my days/take notes on how I'm feeling during these days but when it comes time to sit down with my therapist everything feels fine-ish in comparison. But as soon as I leave, my brain will be like, hey why didn't we talk about this. all this to say, wishing you all the best, don't forget to take some time to do something you love, if brain and spoons allow for it. sending all the love from a too hot Iowa
Sorry if weird place to ask, but on daily pages with weather, the lil "smiley face like" symbols in the margin, what are they for? (Asking here just cuz i have this video on while im journalling with your printables)

Megan keep fighting the good fight. It is day 189 of this year and in my techo. Without you and your channel I'd have no idea what a techo even is. I'm still grinding out this A6 because I feel like I've crossed the Rubicon. I can't wait to bump up to an A5. In my psychology notebook I've started doing a monthly reflection session where I read through the techo and my notebook and reflect on the completed month. Victories, failures, trials, struggles, etc. Your content and style are dope. You're making a difference whether you realize it or not. Keep going off Queen, whenever you feel like you can.
One of my favorite spooky movies that you may not of heard of is A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, its about a lonely vampire and how she haunts an Iranian town
My fav spooky movie is Clue, plus it’s great for some laughs. I love those moody whodunit mystery, old Hollywood, spooky mansion vibes. Highly recommend!🤗
Ooh also along those lines, if you like mystery/crime tv series, I suggest looking into Nordic noir shows. They can be a bit slow moving, but the plots\storylines are so good compared to the very formulaic US shows like CSI etc. and are usually pretty moody. I love hearing the Nordic/Scandinavian languages & the subtitles keep me from looking at my phone while I watch. One of the more popular ones is The Bridge. My favorites are also Trapped, The Cliff/The Lava Field, Deadwind, & Bordertown and are good places to start if you’re interested!
Omg Wednesday’s snores 🥹❤️
some of my favourite (slightly) less obvious horrors are: the innocents (1961), carnival of souls (1962), the blackcoat's daughter (2015), the cabinet of dr. caligari (1920), lake mungo (2008), i am the pretty thing that lives in the house (2016), eyes without a face (1960), november (2017) and you won't be alone (2022)! i am a big fan of eerie/ominous vibes in horror and these films reflect that 🦇
I love the movie Only Lovers Left Alive. It’s about vampires, and is very atmospheric (some might say gloomy!) and it doesn’t take itself super seriously but is somehow very horrifying in its own way. It’s also quite slow in the way it unfolds. But I love it and have watched it so many times.
That is one of my FAVORITE movies!
i do like horror but my absolute favourite movie is 1917! hope you feel better soon & wishing you the best! i love these journal with me videos because i always journal to your videos anyways!!❤️🩹
I love these journal with me videos, they've been the perfect videos to rewatch whenever I need to relax and ground myself lately.
we love a good dog snoring asmr in this house!!! not to be a psych student stereotype, but i think my fave horror movie has to be the silence of the lambs
I'm definitely NOT coping well this summer, worse than last year. I've been going through burnout the past one/two months and I'm struggling, literally feels like I'm fighting for my life every single day. I'm taking it day by day but it has been so hard and overwhelming and some days I honestly don't know what to do to cope. Thanks so much for your content, it's so soothing and lovely
Not a movie but the Hannibal tv show. Love, love, love it!
Think you’ve already watched these but Sleepy Hollow is one of my comfort films, so is Dracula with Gary Oldman
Shed of the dead- super tacky b-movie horror!
These journaling videos are so satisfying 😊
I just want to say thanks for sharing your life and struggles! I just got an aspergers diagnosis and started researching and found journaling could help. And that lead to another rabbithole, where I found you. It is really nice to find someone who I can really relate to, so have spent the last day or so binging your videos 😊
spooky/gloomy/horror movie recs: a while ago a friend and i watched this kiwi horror film "deathgasm" it was so bad but so good abkdjfslkd. also rewatched ginger snaps this week which is always a classic, that film makes me cryyyy
realised you can edit these: oh my god an obscure horror film i can actually recommend w my whole chest is black sheep !!!!! kiwi horror-comedy but the comedy is not in your face. really good practical effects !!!
Donnie Darko is my comfort movie, I just recently rewatched it. It brings me so much comfort when things or I feel wonky. I just started college full time and in person for the last half of my degree and its been such a huge change in routine, that i'm getting the urge to watch it during any of my free time to cleanse my brain
I love the journal with me videos for body doubling! Especially with the chatting, Ive only just found your videos but I love working with other people/chatting but unfortunately I work at home by myself so these videos have been really helping
one of my favorite horrors is a slasher called Green Room! i also have been dealing with fogginess and dissociation. the heat definitely doesn’t help 😅
lovely video🤍
honestly I love hear you talking about anything, and it's so fun to see your thoughts behind the layouts and materials you use. I've always loved stationary items and i've been learning so much about different kinds of things with your videos!! I actually gave a try on a binder style notebook (like your filofax) and it changed my studying for the better, as i'm constantly switching between subjects but now i can keep it very in a very organized and logic order.
One of my favourite horrors is Perfect Blue, it's an animated film and is a psychological thriller that I adore the art style of. I really liked another film by the same director called Paprika - which is also a v weird film :)
1. Get well
i love horror films a lot!! and not gonna lie but the insidious chapters 1 and 2 are my fav
It sounds like your nervous system is dysregulating a lot rn which sucks 🥺 People often forget just how physical autism and adhd are in many. Hopefully when it’s not pollen/storm szn you’ll begin to feel better than you do now! Thank you for continuing to post content throughout all this. 😘
I love that TK Maxx is on it with halloween already! I was just there today and dropped £55 on stuff. They’ve got these gorgeous food storage containers, white with black bats or skulls, and black with white skulls, one is a large soup mug, the other is like a small dish, the quality is outstanding! They’ve got microwaveable lids, they can go in the oven and dishwasher and they like etched on, rather than paint or print.
My favourite horror is Dog Soldiers, it’s low-budget, classic British witty one-liners, and the accents remind me of home, I believe one guy is from Sheffield and one guy is from Middlesbrough.
I cannot for the life of me watch horror movies (or movies in general) but I recently watched Nimona and have not recovered emotionally (but it was a happy ending dw) like I was sobbing for an hour 10/10 would recommend
i really enjoy these journaling videos of yours! I've been having troubles sleeping lately, I can only get a few hours in per day and never when I need to be asleep either so it sucks? I watch your videos and your voice kind of helps me sleep at night, it's really soothing to me
also my current fav spooky movie is crimson peak! but my all time favorite horror movie is definitely shutter (thai vers). netflix has the 2008 remake but if you can get your hands on the 2004 thai version it's great
My fav horror/spooky movies are Coraline, Nightmare Before Christmas and Horns!! Oh, and for "just" spooky gloomy media I absolutely love Christine McConnel's Netflix series and her TH-cam channel
I just rotated out of a lack of sleep cycle. The foggy feeling is a real struggle. Unsure what caused it but now I feel to be cycling back to needing to sleep all the time. I strive to keep a sleep schedule but it’s a struggle. Don’t hesitate to talk about it. The lack of knowing can be difficult.
And I love your videos! ❤
Not really spooky but I love Donnie Darko and The Craft.
I also love animated Halloween specials that I watched as a kid (Casper, Alvin and the Chipmunks, etc 😂), they just feel like a warm hug, and I normally watch them as a pre spooky season ritual.
wednesdays snores are so cute omg. i also love the insidious franchise so much!!
my favorite horror movies are scream and texas chainsaw! i really like slashers. my favorite non-slashers though are as above so below and the others!
These are actually my favorite videos you make
Favourite comfort horror movie (lol never thought I'd say comfort horror) is definitely the first Conjuring! I loved that film so much and Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga are chef's kiss! I think one of the scariest for me, personally, is Annabelle: Creation. Arguably, one of the best in the Conjuring universe and defo the best Annabelle film. I also adore The Ring (2002)! Kind of miss early 2000's horror. Oooo I definitely need to mention Deliver Us From Evil with Eric Bana! Such an underrated horror film and tbh I wish there were more horror/detective/mystery films and Eric Bana in this was amazing!
Love the video ! Thanks for posting
Movies : Suspiria (1977) * Antichrist (2009) * The Stendhal Syndrome (1996) * Carrie (1976) * Naked (1993) * Mulholland Drive (2001) * Hansel & Gretel (2007) * Videodrome (1983) - [and… kind of spooky, but very beautiful * Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975)] 🖤✨
Love Wednesday snores ❤
Here's a list of horror movies I like:
- A classic horror story on Netflix is very meta and fun in a slasher way. It's bad but in a good way.
- Anything made by Darren Aronofsky : People mostly know about Black Swan but Mother is an absolute masterpiece.
- Suspiria. Either the original one or the remake.
- Crimson Peaks : It's not horror per se but the gothic atmosphere is really cool.
ive also been so sleepy eepy lately! i like get washed and dressed and then have to sit for an hour resting before i can get work done, this warm weather and th grass pollen is making my brain to soup!! heres hoping both of us feel better soon! and also in terms of horror films there is a horror film on youtube i watched called 'savage land' on the 'kings of horror' yt channel i think it was called? i didnt find it like scary but its really cool and so well done!! zombie found footage mockumentary in like the slightly over dramatic american documentary way, but instead of found footage being video its developed photographs, and how they make the photographs look is so so cool!! so eerie! the acting isnt oscar worthy but it feels very real :3 !!
Right now I’d have to say my favorite horror/spooky movie is Jeepers Creepers. I get the tune stuck in my head every time I think about it 😂 Love Wednesday’s snores 💕 Take care.
I really love those journal with me videos for body doubling ! You said you also watched that kind of videos, do you have recommendations of other channels ?
this was really helpful for me to sit down and do some writing for the 1st time in a while, if you want a good tv show that has some spooky vibes but is mostly comedy i highly recommend search party
My husband has always liked scary films (I never got into it because I had very vivid nightmares for a good chuck of my high school years, due to depression) and got me watching them when we got together. Generally speaking I'm not particularly excited to see any horror movies but I will say I did actually enjoy Deliver Us From Evil and The Invitation. I tend to be more okay with suspense/thriller and less into gore. Oh, we did recently watch the original Japanese The Ring and I'd give it a thumbs up.
I hope the weirdness flares down soon and thank you for pushing through and making videos. I know we're all rooting for you ❤🩹
So happy to have found your channel :)) relate so much to 60% symptom management 40% work :’
One of my favorite movies of all time is Annihilation. It's definitely less gloomy and more existential horror. It deals with how change is frightening and will always destroy what was there in the first place, but that doesn't mean that the new has to be better or worse, it's just different. Very great movie.
Ooooo I've been on a kick lately with atmospheric/mellow-ish horror, especially haunted house stuff (like Amityville Horror, The Conjuring, etc etc). I think some of these are in the same vein and are pretty overlooked: The Nesting (1981), Ghost Story (1981) and Let's Scare Jessica to Death (1971). Honorable mention to The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane (1976) it's more of a thriller but the vibe is right!
Yesss, I’m super excited for the last insidious movie!!! I was also really surprised to see a trailer but it was a happy surprise! I love horror movies as well and just about once a week my sister, their friend, and I FaceTime each other and watch horror movies together. Ngl I have a an ongoing list of my fav horror movies cause it’s so hard to choose just one 😫 but a couple of my favs are
- Incantation
- Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum
- Hell House: LLC
- The Ring (2002)
- The Descent
- Silent Hill (2006)
- Noroi: The Curse
I constantly go back to these movies and I see them as my comfort horror movies if that makes sense. My sister and I are actually trying to collect the physical copies of our fav horror movies from thrift stores. I especially love when there is like little pamphlets and adverts inside the DVD cases it’s like a little time capsule! Horror and physical media are like 2 of my top special interests at the moment and I love that I can combine the two ❤
I think if i had to say one fav movie it would be Nightmare on Elm Street (the original). I recently watched Renfield and it was absolutely ridiculous, i loved it. I also rewatch The exorcism of Emily Rose and Ready or Not, and watched the last Scream movie, loved it to pieces.
I LOVE Nightmare on Elm Street! ❤ The concept of a dream demon! Love! I met Robert England, amazing. Ur other horror choices amazing! ❤
@@mmtpleasant oooh robert englund always seems like such a nice guy!!!
i dont have any movies to recommend but theres this gloomy video game called birth that seems like something you would enjoy. its a short game, made of puzzles (they arent too difficult) and its handdrawn and has a nice vibe to it. Basically its about building a friend because of loneliness. its on steam and available for mac and windows
+your videos, no matter what type, bring lots of peace for me. its become like a routine to watch them every weekend/upload
horror movie rec time!! (sorry for going overboard, i don't have any friends who like horror movies so all my recs are coming out here TT)
- coraline (classic animation horror, love love love it!)
- nope (horror, thriller, and everything in between, it's a doozy but it's so good!!)
- last night in soho (time traveling horror, it's kind of messy but anya taylor joy is so good always)
- the call (korean time-traveling horror/thriller, it's got an interest premise even if it isn't perfect)
- detention (2019 taiwanese horror movie based on the video game of the same name, set in a historical period of martial law where the students are running from spooky ghosts)
- marrowbone (a family trying to figure out what's going on with the presence haunting them in their childhood home; also a bit messy but i still really enjoyed it!)
- crimson peak (period horror, the fashion and vibes of this one are immaculate)
- housebound (a wonderful comedy horror about a woman trying to survive living with a ghost while on house arrest)
- it follows (genuinely spooky premise about a ghost who will follow you until you pass it on to someone else, still gives me the creeps to this day)
- stoker (more thriller than horror but it is, as my sister puts it, "sick and twisted" so it gets a mention; a strange girl tries to figure out why her unsettling uncle has shown up at her house on her 18th bday)
Ginger Snaps is my go-to spooky film. Werewolf coming of age; it’s totally unhinged and I love it so much.
And from one chronic illness person to another: one day at a time. We’re rooting for you.
Yes we have tjmaxx instead of tkmaxx but we have homegoods AND homesense. And Marshall’s (which has a higher ratio of clothing and cosmetic items than home items/decor). Homegoods is a lot more common than homesense (at least where I am it’s that way, I’ve only ever seen 1 homesense here).
kotoko! not a favorite but it was the most recent horror film i've watched. i actually thought that it was just a drama so i watched it at night after being intrigued by its poster in pinterest. i was terrified throughout the film but kept thinking that "this is just a drama, this is just a drama", so i got through it. but there were really lots of visually striking events in there, something that are quite unforgettable, would rlly recommend it to someone who loves spooky stuff ❤
I love insidious too! I think my fav scary movies are the conjuring (1st 2nd 3rd… didn’t like the last one)trick r treat… I also like cute spooky movies like the haunted mansion which also has a new movie coming out this month!
Not sure if these are quite what you're looking for, but my favorite moody/comfort movies are Coraline and Corpse Bride... if you might be interested in parodies, Mel Brooks' 'Dracula Dead and Loving It' and 'Young Frankenstein' are fun... Silence of the Lambs and Red Dragon are also good...
I love horror! my absolute favourite movies are Blair Witch Project (1999), As Above So Below, [rec], paranormal activity
bit cliché probably but they're a good spook and after rewatching them so many times I enjoy the comfort of knowing what's gonna happen and the atmosphere
Fav modern horror movie 🦇🩸⚰️☠️ has to be The nun. But I do love a bit of the older stuff, like Children of the Corn or Jeepers Creepers or My Bloody Valentines or Constantine (it’s not scary but it gives me spooky vibes) Okay last one has to be Evil Dead Rise.
Hi Megan! I hope your health issues get better soon! They sound horrible. You’re very strong for dealing with all that.
My favorite scary movies are mostly the older classic ones. I’m not brave enough for the realistic modern ones lol. I really like Night of the Living Dead. Also, it’s not a horror movie, but the original Godzilla movie is kinda spooky and has themes of doom and fear throughout the whole movie. Also, if you’ve never watched it (I suggest because you mentioned you get tired sitting through full movies), the original Twilight Zone show is perfect for sometimes spooky, otherworldly vibes. And each episode is only like 25 mins long.
I just love all the Halloween and Friday - 13th movies 😳
I have different horrors for different vibes; spooky horror, mystery horror, comedy nostalgia horror. Some of my favourites have already been mentioned; Dog Soldiers (doesn't get enough love imho!), the original Nightmare on Elm Street, The Craft, but I also love Sleepy Hollow, the original Candyman, the first Evil Dead, From Dusk Til Dawn, The Grudge, The Witch (2016) for spooky / what the hell is going on vibes, Gothika for a psychological horror and Return of the Living Dead (1985) for a camp horror comedy. The best horror tv series I've seen are the first season of American Horror Story and The Haunting of Hill House. Ash vs Evil Dead is good for a comedy horror / knows it's silly kind of show as well as the rest of the Evil Dead films. And Doctor Strange Multiverse of Madness has strong 80's cult horror vibes and is directed or produced by Sam Reimi if you like that sort of thing.
I have not seen a horror movie or series for a long time.
Here is a list of movies I saw a long time ago but still enjoyed although I do not like horror and most likely you already saw all of them:
From Hell (2001, Victoria-era London, Jack the Ripper, Johnny Depp)
Green Room (2015, it's more horror in regards what people can do to someone, not supernatural)
Pandorum (2009, Sci-Fi, a little bit body horror and being afraid of what lurks in the dark and of other people, space)
Werewolf by Night (2022, I think you could enjoy this one, it's in black and white)
Tucker and Dale vs Evil (2010, a lot of blood, quite funny, no supernatural)
Sleepy Hollow (1999, most likely you already know this movie, but it still has a great atmosphere, still enjoy it a lot)
Death Becomes Her (1992, it's more comedy with body horror)
Ghost Ship (2002, ghosts, ships on open sea, doesn't have great rating on IMDB, to me it was really creepy)
Constantine (2005, Keanu Reeves, I would say one of his best roles , Lucifer was great, I enjoyed this movie very much)
The Descent (2005, still creeps me out to this day! I do not like caves!)
Final Destination (2000, good old fun)
The Others (2001, Nicole Kidman, a really good movie!)
The Cabin in the Woods (2011, supernatural, a lot of fun, I enjoyed this movie)
The Pale Blue Eye (2022, Edgar Allen Poe adaption, I enjoyed the atmosphere, a movie with snow is always a winner for me, everything is better with snow)
The Faculty (1998, great movie, body horror, Sci-Fi, teens, high-school)
Disturbing Behavior (1998, another horror teen movie form my teen years)
Fargo (1996, it's not really horror, more crime and mystery, but all the snow gives me life!)
Snow White: A Tale of Terror (1997, MAYBE this one you do not know, If I'm lucky 😉, with Sigourney Weaver, a very dark Snow White adaptation)
Hearing you talk about summer reminds me of my summer seasonal affective disorder. I'm not diagnosed officially but everything I read about it rings always 100% true to me. Just thinking about winter makes me happy!
i adore horror and the insidious franchise as well, made me so happy to hear you talk about it !! i’m also so excited for the new movie !! i wonder if you like the haunting of hill house/bly manor ? i feel like you would enjoy it :)
I love horror movies so much as well and I had no idea that a new insidious movie came out! My favorite horror genre is probably zombie or found footage (like Blair witch type stuff) and my favs are train to busan, world war z, and as above so below. But I also enjoyed the first two Rec movies (they’re in Spanish but they have the same vibe as as above so below)
Of of my favorite dark/gloomy movies is Pan's Labyrinth by Guilhermo Del toro, it mixes fantasy with historical aspects and it's amazing, i recommend checking the triggers list of this one as it does contain a lot of violence.
less obvious spooky/moody/gloomy films:
Under the Skin (2013): its an amazingly unique indie horror where Scarlett Johansson drives around Scotland in a van - no spoilers but I feel like that's such a hooking description already no? its really cool because a lot of the interactions the main character has with others are actually interactions with members of the public who didn't know they were being filmed and were asked afterwards if they could keep the footage). I love this analysis of the film: th-cam.com/video/vpUIur5HOr0/w-d-xo.html
Lamb (2021) - Icelandic horror about a strange sheep child, really really odd
The House (2022) - a stop motion animated anthology of short thrillers/horrors surrounding the theme of houses and homes
And I can't make a horror list without a shoutout to my fave horror of all time, The Thing (1982) - also there is a ~3 minute stop motion Pingu version on youtube that is also hilarious and summarises pretty much the entire plot of the film.
I'm very late to your comment question but, "Angel's Egg" is an 80's Anime Movie, kind of a gothic psychological horror that only has one scene of dialogue and revolves around a little girl in a bleak mysterious land filled with gothic castles and cities who carries around a large egg in hopes that one day it hatches. She meets a young man who decides to travel with her and tries to convince her that the egg will not hatch. It's really unsettling in a very intriguing way and hard to interpret with just one meaning! I definitely enjoyed it.
Favourite horror films: trick r treat, prom night, The call, Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum, The ward and the black phone. Just to name a few lol. 🖤
Wow your multitasking skills..! So amazing 😮
I love all of the videos you make. It feels like being on ft with a friend. I really like The Boy (2016). I consider it to be a horror movie, but it’s almost a thriller with how much build up there is. I hope you have a good upcoming week ❤
I can really relate to the fatigue you're talking about, I also deal quiet a bit with that... I only found out about the new Insidious movie yesterday because i keept getting trailer about It on youtube!
But one of my favorite horror movie are Crimson peak, I know alot of people don't think of It as horror but I really like It.
I can't really watch much horror personally cuz it messes with my anxiety disorders in a bad way, but i did like to watch thrillers at one point?
"The Host" by Bong Joon-Ho is a classic for me. Me and my partner also like watching "Wickerman" (1973). Also a norwegian one i thought was good(im norwegian) is "Thelma". Hope that helps!
You should try the Fear Street remake trilogy. I hate horror/slasher movies but I adore those movies! ❤
Some horror movie favs are The Descent, Green Room, and the Alien series if those count haha. Also super excited about the new insidious!! Hope you're able to go see it :)
I’m not a horror fan, but I can offer you Return to Oz (which still haunts me to this day, decades after I watched it).
Wednesday snoring is the best thing. 🐾🥰
Yes! As an adult I can appreciate the art of it more (really wish more of the books got films in this tone) and the fact that while it blends many of the books together, it follows the mood of those original books more than the Judy Garland movie did.
The Wheelers are.... OK look those are STILL creepy let's be honest
I love movies a lot. My fav horrors are prob Misery and texas chainsaw massacre like the original one and The Descent (that’s one of the only ones that’s genuinely scary to me). I also reeeeeally love thrillers like The Lighthouse is so so so good and has perfect spooky vibes and Last Night in Soho and Black Swan. Those are just a few but I have so many more
It's kind of terrible but, The Descent. I watched them forever ago with my sister and recently got in the mood to rewatch the first one and maybe I just have claustrophobia/ a fear of being buried alive, but my fiance and I were sitting there squeezing each others hands, it was just really nice cause I feel like I haven't been genuinely scared in so long. Also, this is an anime/manga so I don't know if it counts, Ghost Hunt. It's one of my all time favorites I reread/ rewatch it often.
When I was growing up, I enjoyed watching Goosebumps and Are You Afraid Of The Dark? I haven’t thought about them in ages. I wonder what it’d be like to watch them now… quite likely this will turn out to be an embarrassing comment.
p.s. I call my ultra sleepy and giggly state the “sleepy loopy” ❤ wishing you easy resting
I absolutely LOVE the Insidious series. I’m not big on scary movies (I’m a huge chicken) but for some reason I just enjoy following these movies 😅 maybe for the same reasons as you since I have a nasty relationship with unintentional lucid dreaming and PTSD night terrors 😢 it’s a really weird thing to talk about -which is why I usually don’t. But totally related to the Insidious segment
I love this kind of videos too, my favourite horrors right now are those with spooky forset vibes like significant other, the 2021 wrong turn and you won't be alone! Hope that some good movies can help a bit!
Every time I see someone write with frixion pen I warn them now.
One day I found my notes from studying were disappeared/faded/done, cause it had been exposed to heat, maybe I left it in the car I can’t remember. Just something to keep in mind using that pen, especially with journalling it’ll be so sad to loose precious memories you had written down.
I have a bunch of shows I'm sorry but they're my favorites 🖤 so I love Haunting of Hill House and Haunting of Bly Manor (there's also Midnight Mass by the same director). Fear Street is more campy but still a vibe imo. and for something more gentle I really love Over The Garden Wall, it's like a cottagecore horror cartoon and I love it 🎃
Oh and favorite horror films: The 1979 cult classic ALIEN. And maybe the first Scream film. That feels like more of a thriller/slasher than a horror film though.
It's so hard to pick a favourite, I'm torn between The Witch and Army of Darkness since those best represent the two types of horror I love most.
i don’t know if you’re into foreign horror but my current favorite (especially to rewatch) is re/member
“Im thinking of ending things”. The book is amazing but was adapted to film.
I would watch any video that you put out, honestly. Wednesday snoring is so cuuute🖤🖤 fav scary movie is Scream🔪
I don't like horror, but I have read a couple horror books, like T. Kingfisher's What Moves the Dead and These Hollow Places, and I've also read Cherie Priest's Maplecroft and Chapelwood duology and I enjoyed them
My first ever horror movie was Village of the damned. And then Carrie. Recently I watched Fear street and liked it. But Inhabern seen insidious and I am not sure if I want to watch it. Generally I am not into horror movies although I am intrigued. Take care. You are doing the best you can and that is enough.
new insidious movie…??? i am watching the trailer after i finish your video. omg nothing is like the first insidious movie. i was on edge! there had been nothing like that movie before. the further reminded me of my experiences with my dreams. i learned about astro travel because of that movie. insidious is definitely relatable. my favorite horror movies would be the shining, paranormal activity series, jeeper creepers…there are so many!
the summer is always a problem for my health but it seems way worse now. i just cannot go outside and exist. i swear excessive daytime sleepiness, sleep attacks, and pots take turns beating me up. it is so frustrating!
I wouldnt call it unique at all but Terrifier is my favorite horror movie to return to!
If you’re still looking here for recs my fave movie (horror) is Shutter (2008). I must emphasize that this is the original and not the unnecessary American remake 😅
I most definitely did not mute you. I liked listening to you while I did my weekly set up. Maybe try doing fortnightly Attic Archives, that way you have 2 weeks worth of stuff to include. But also don't push yourself, these videos are still heaps of fun to watch.
favourite less obvious spooky movies/shows: The Last Unicorn [ spookier than it sounds], Cat People [the 1940s one], gaslight, the Carmilla TH-cam series, the skeleton twins
I tend to prefer gothic horror and/or sci fi horror (the isolation of space creates creepy, moody atmospheres). Pitch Black is one that I return to often (sci fi). I also like Crimson Peak for when I want something gothic. I also often turn to classics like The Haunting (1963) and Rebecca (1940).
John Carpenter’s The Thing is one of my favs :)
Wednesday's snores! ❤❤ I LOVE horror movies! My favorite is the Conjuring. I think it's beautiful! Less popular one that u should check out is Grave Encounters (2011). Horror movies r amazing! They help me get through rough times. In-between state of mind is an interesting way of explaining it. I struggle to describe what I go through.
I'm going through a Suspiria phase (the 70s one). It's just very bright and aesthetically interesting :)
Not a horror person but I really love the channel ScaredyCatsTV which specialises in funny reviews of horror movies. Maybe you'll like it too! As for spooky-but-not-horror movies, no one can top David Lynch in that regard imo. I watched Lost Highway recently and was delightfully distrubed by the movie. On a different note, I really admire that you keep posting these beatiful journaling vids even though you are stuggling with health isues. I hope it gets easier soon. Wishing you all the best!
REC (but the original) is my favourite horror movie!!
I don't have any advice, unfortunately. But do know I'm sending you all my love, energy I'm able to pull together. I know it's not quite the same but it kind of reminds me of when I go to therapy. I try to record my days/take notes on how I'm feeling during these days but when it comes time to sit down with my therapist everything feels fine-ish in comparison. But as soon as I leave, my brain will be like, hey why didn't we talk about this.
all this to say, wishing you all the best, don't forget to take some time to do something you love, if brain and spoons allow for it. sending all the love from a too hot Iowa
also, oh to be Wednesday honk-shoo-ing in a comfy spot
Sorry if weird place to ask, but on daily pages with weather, the lil "smiley face like" symbols in the margin, what are they for? (Asking here just cuz i have this video on while im journalling with your printables)
I think one of my favourite horror films is The Woods
My horror film recommendation is always A24's "Killing of a Sacred Deer". I love this movie. Not sure if it's your vibe tho!
