Spoopy Sunday 9/15/19: Horror News+ My Spooky Halloween Reading List

I've got some more Spoop for the week... plus all the books I want to read around halloween time.I think I'll shoot for reading all or most of these by Thanksgiving... and I'll get to that at the end! 

First some Funko News. We have some New Haunted Mansion pops that were released for the 50th anniversary! It's more than just the pops too, there are little vinyl figures like their mystery minis... but they aren't really mysteries. They even have loungefly products... just about anything haunted mansion you want- they have right now... and it's sometimes sold out like the 10 inch Ezra I probably should have grabbed... but it's all good! I will probably do a Funko Friday on those pops on my Disney Blog so check that out right here if you like Disney. Didn't write it yet... but I think it'll be coming soon. Lol. 

The Movie Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark is also going to have some Funko Pops coming soon. There are only 2 in the line The Scarecrow and the monster from the last story... but they look really cool. I want to pick them up... but I have a feeling they'll go on sale cause I don't think the movie was all that popular... so maybe I'll get them. Idk if I'll keep them out all year though- These might be ones I save for halloween. 

Halloween Horror Nights has also started in both Orlando's Universal Studios and Universal Studios Hollywood. Orlando's houses looked a little bit better from the videos I've seen... but both coasts seem very fun. Here's The Tim Tracker's Video if you want to see him going through all the houses in Orlando. Here's Justin Scarred's video on the Hollywood version. The Dis has a bunch of short videos on them going through each house... Here is a walk through video of the Ghostbuster's house just to get an idea... they have video of all the houses. In Orlando you aren't allowed to film, but the videos I have linked were there for a media preview. In Hollywood- they do let you film- so you might see more videos from there if you're looking. 

So now for my reading list! I have some spookier halloween themed books that I'm going to try to finish... maybe by November-ish? Before I start to get into Christmas-mode... but I have a feeling I won't finish them all right away. 

I'll start out with the longest one- which is It by Stephen King. My boyfriend read this around the time we first started dating and he loaned it to me right when he finished... and we've been dating for a year so I should read it lol. Plus the new movie just came out and I'm hoping I can see that before I read the book cause I don't think I'll get to it in time... but either way I'm excited. 

I also have the Hocus Pocus book and all new sequel that I picked up the very first day it came out over a year ago... and I still haven't read! This is by A.W Jantha... and I'm excited about this. This might be the easiest one to get through... so I might read this first... but it would also be nice to read something lighter after being scared... so maybe I'll save this for after something else. 

Next up is The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson. I know there are several differences between this and the Netflix show- but I think I'll like the Netflix Show better if I read this one first. Shirley Jackson is a fantastic author and she's actually one of my mom's favorite authors- so I am excited to read this one... Maybe I'll start with this one cause it's short and then I can watch the show. 

I also have a shorter one that I want to read during Halloween... The Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina Volume 1 The Crucible Comic Book. I got this a while ago and I still haven't watched season 2 of CHAOS so... I'm probably going to watch that soon too. The author of this one is Roberto Aguirre Sacasa if anyone wanted to read along with it. 

I have 2 books from one of my new favorite Authors, Grady Hendrix. He wrote the book Horrorstor which I loved and was actually scared by... so I'm looking forward to reading We Sold Our Souls and My Best Friend's Exorcism. The covers of his books are the best. My Best Friends Exorcism is a VHS looking cover and We Sold Our Souls looks like a Rolling Stones Magazine. I don't want to read these 2 back to back... but they both sound really good. 

I think those are actually it! I also have some X Files comics that I might want to read too because... I love The X Files! And I have Hidden Bodies which is the sequel to You that I want to read before I watch season 2... so I'll start those if I finish all of these before Halloween... but this might take me a while! 

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 TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de...

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...
