This may have been my push to stop putting off ‘Camp Damascus’… watch this space 👀 Not ALL of these books being books I’ve either read and loved or have on my physical TBR staring at me…. 👀 Yay for Diavola!! I was WAITING for you to mention it. The absolute epitome of summer horror 🙌 I loved the incorporation of Movie recs, it worked so well and I loved seeing your enthusiasm 👏👏👏 I’m so hyped for all the movie recs to come!! Erm excuse me… how have I not watched ‘The Lost Boys’, brb gotta go stream it right now. Your excitement was SO infectious and made me smile so big!!
This is exactly what I needed rn!! I’m trying to get out of the habit of saving horror for fall bc I love the genre so much… ESPECIALLYYY anything with a summer camp. Have you read The Honeys? Great for summer horror. Can’t believe I still haven’t seen Poltergeist 😳 adding it to the top of my watchlist. I’ve never heard of The Lost Boys but that also sounds like my perfect cup of tea! Happy Summerween to you 🥳🎃
I haven't read The Honeys yet! I'm a little stressed about the YA thing, but I should just get over it because I've heard good things! And I hope you enjoy the 80's horror majesty 🙏
I love the Innocents!!!! Me and my mom watch it together every year its one of our all time faves. The story its based on is also really good I read it earlier this year. As far as movie recommendations I personally love Super 8, IT (the 1990 miniseries and the new ones), and the Sleepaway Camp series (I think there is like 5 installments but I've only watched the first 3)
Yay another video! Hi! Have you watched any vincent price movies? I suggest the house on haunted hill and the pit and the pendulum. All of your recommendations are on my list. Have a good day!❤
I feel like I just hit the jackpot because I haven’t actually read ANY of these books and they all sound SO good!! Now I have an excuse to pick them up 👀
“It ruined two weeks of my life” sign me up! 😂 By TBR just got longer. I’ve been looking for some summer reads. I did love The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires. I Know What You Did Last Summer takes me back. That was the first “scary” movie my parents actually allowed me to see. Showing my age here. Of course I snuck a few before that one. 😂 Fun video!
Yay! Thanks for your recommendations, especially the movies. Yes!!! The Lost Boys is our cult favorite! ❤️❤️❤️❤️We also love “The Burbs”, Super 8, It (not the new one), Goonies, Halloween (the original), The Haunting (the original) and the original Psycho. Also Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte, and What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? They grew up watching classics with me.👻❤
I am anxiously waiting for Dead Girls Walking to come in on my library hold. It has a summer camp and a serial killer who is maybe a ghost or something.
i just found the innocents on youtube and i'm going to watch it over dinner! i had no idea a guest in the house was a graphic novel but i've always been entranced by the cover so i just asked my library to get it for me 😄 i also love i know what you did last summer it was so fun and silly and the ending to the sequel actually got a little scream out of me because someone hiding under the bed is my worst nightmare 😂😂 also my special interest is scooby doo and shows like mystery incorporated were so choc full of references to things like poltergeist and invasion of the body snatchers i feel like i'm obliged now to see the originals 😊 thanks for the recs!!
I really enjoyed the 80s recommendations. Poltergiest is one of my favorites, especially the mother played by JoBeth Williams. I still listen to The Lost Boys soundtrack. Have u ever read Poppy Z Brite (Lost Souls) or (Drawing Blood) if u like gothy punk queer vampires. Check out Lost Souls.
Yessss, thank you for this list!! I've been really wanting to finally get into horror properly, especially in terms of literature and everything you've describe sounds right up my alley! Especially Camp Damascus with it's autustic main character!! And the summer horror movie vibes feel like such a good place to start for me cus even though I love horror in concept, my nervous system does not appreciate the medium cus it interprets jumpscares as electric shocks x) It's probably gonna be a while til I can get to any of these books but I can't wait to FINALLY watch I Know What You Did Last Summer :)
Oh yay! I hope you enjoy I know what you did last summer. It’s such a fun time 😊 and I hope you about the books whenever you get to them! Camp Damascus holds a special place in my heart 💛
the way you got so excited talking about these movies has made me want to watch them straight away
Oh good! I’m nothing if not excited 😅 I hope you enjoy them!
Love these recommendations! My go-to spooky summer movie is IT (2017). Kids riding bikes and being traumatised by a killer clown in the 80s!
I should finally muster up the bravery to watch it. I’ve got clown troubles for sure!
You havent? This is THE Horror movie. It is top tier deffo. @@ArinHoney
I love The Innocents, it's soo good. I love old black and white horror films, The Haunting (1963) is also one of my favourites.
One summer horror movie I loved was "sleepaway camp" 📚🥤🍄🐸
I haven't seen that one yet! I'll have to check it out 😊
Great video, love Lost Boys

Ahhhh! Did you watch it yet?? I can't wait to hear what you thought! (I promise to be brave and strong if it wasn't for you)
@@ArinHoney I haven’t yet but it’s in the plans for the weekend 🙌🏻 I’m sure there’ll be no need for bravery but I’ll let you know 😂

@@ArinHoney oh yes… there are definitely moments where it reminds you that it’s YA but overall it’s not unreadable bc of the YA aspect imo!

Hi! I watched a handful of them as a kid, but it’s been so long that I don’t remember them-I’ll add them to my list! 😊 I really hope you enjoy them! 💛
I feel like I just hit the jackpot because I haven’t actually read ANY of these books and they all sound SO good!! Now I have an excuse to pick them up 👀
Also I LOVE practical effects in movies, I honestly think it can be scarier than digital effects because it just has that ✨quality✨to it
Absolutely! A nice practical/digital combo is also great. I feel like a certain amount of practical just makes it feels so much more visceral
Ooooooh, I can't wait to see which ones you pick up!

I'm reading Thin Air by Michelle Paver right now and I'm loooving it so far! Perfect summer horror
Oh sweet!! I’ll look into it 👀
Omg i gotta Camp Damascus.
Also, I just finished The Z word, which is a sort of camp queer horror zombie book and I think you'd really enjoy it! :D
Oh sweet, thanks! I’ll add it to my tbr 😊
