Sunday Spoop: Horror News and Reviews

Alright guys! Basically I had a little round up of reviews I wanted to do of some horror things... nothing is super recent or super relevant- but I wanted to put it all into one little blog post here... so here we go!

First off I'll start with what I think is the biggest and most surprising news: Doctor Strange: Multiverse of Madness was announced in Marvel Phase 5 and it is going to be the first Marvel Horror Movie! My favorite thing about the MCU is that they are always playing with the genres of their movies. Captain America movies are War Movies, Spider Man is High School comedies, Ant Man Comedy Heist, Guardians are Sci Fi Comedies, Thor and Doctor Strange were Fantasy... it's just kind of interesting that their next genre is horror. It makes things very layered and more interesting. I like it a lot!

Next news... I sort of inadvertently waited for a more official statement to talk about this... but they announced a series of Get Out and Us Funko Pops! The Us ones in particular I think look really great. The son I think is the coolest looking one and he has a chase also... which looks really cool. I love both of those movies and I'm not totally sure if I'll pick them all up... but I might get a few.

Speaking of Pops- lets do a little review on my Sabrina the Teenage Witch with Cauldron SDCC Exclusive pop that Hot Topic was carrying. I love how animated this pop looks- she looks like she's right from the comic, her eyes look very animated and cute. The colors are great and I love that she comes with a cauldron... it adds a bit of spookiness to it!




I read the book HorrorStor by Grady Hendrix... and that's a really great horror comedy book. This was one of those things where I judged the book by the cover... and it worked out. It's a horror story based on an Ikea rip off store that was built on the site of an old prison... and it was actually like just as scary as it was funny. There were some super comic moments... but it did give me a nightmare! Not a bad nightmare- it was just entertaining and it was very easy to picture everything happening and it all just felt so real. I also read it during a time when the power was out at my house... so that might have helped it.

I have 2 movie reviews before I close this weeks Sunday Spoop. The first one is Midsommar. I saw it about a month ago and it was a great movie. I feel like it might be a little underrated too because its the second feature length movie from Ari Aster... and it isn't quite as good as his previous movie Hereditary... but honestly... Hereditary is a fantastic movie and it would be really hard to top that. This is actually a very beautiful movie in some aspects because it does have some very beautiful imagery and the setting of Sweeden is very beautiful... but there are also some really grotesque images and moments. Its a really uncomfortable movie to watch too... there are so many moments that just make you feel uncomfortable... which is kind of fun for a horror movie. It's a great movie if you can actually make it through the whole movie... cause it's not something I can recommend for everyone... and it is weird and boring at parts... but I still liked it and it pays off.

Another horror movie I just recently watched was Creep on Netflix. This is kind of like a found footage movie. I thought it was about ghost hunters... but it's actually just about a creepy guy. It's very suspenseful and it's kind of something where you don't really know what to expect. I think they did a good job with it and Mark Duplass was great! I'm excited to see Creep 2!

So yeah- I hope you guys like this post! I think I'll have one next week... this might not be a weekly post... but I'll try to do it every once and a while... especially now that it's close to Halloween... it might be more weekly.

Bye!

Disney Store Closing Haul

So if you read my post from yesterday- you know that I love The Disney Store, but it is unfortunately closing. I did pick up some things from the store that I thought I'd share with you guys! I did get a couple of t shirts. One is a Star Wars shirt, which is technically a men's shirt but I thought it looked really cool and I don't like that Disney doesn't carry the same things for men and for women. For the most part they look unisex to me and a lot of their men's stuff has characters I like better. Like the star wars shirt for women was grey with pink lettering and had no pictures, but the mens shirt had a really cool metallic silver logo on black clothing with pictures of all the new characters and Luke inside of the letters... much cooler! So I got that! The other shirt I got is really funny and it has Sleeping Beauty on it and it says "I Woke Up Like This." Which I really liked! Super cute and funny and my niece likes it when I wear shirts with c...

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f...

Throwback Thursday: 13 Going On 30

So I watched this on VH1 around Christmas Time because it was on... they really need to bring this movie to Netflix because it's pretty fantastic and VH1 doesn't get the whole thing. I didn't catch the very beginning... but I did watch most of it from around the time when Matty gives her the Dream House... so sweet. It was a little weird to watch this movie because when it came out, I was 13 or almost 13... and now I'm closer to being 30... but I still felt more connected to the 13 year old Jenna instead of the adults in the movie. Like I'm not totally sure when I turned almost 30... but I don't like it. I'm still 13 year old Jenna who likes the same music as when I was 13 and has kind of the same style as I did then... I don't know... its just kind of a weird thing and I was freaking out a little bit from it. This is also the movie that introduced me to one of my favorite actresses, Judy Greer! I love Judy Greer, she's so funny and great and s...
