October Blöeg

Happy Halloween month!!!!! My favorite time of the year, even if it’s still 90 degree summer weather in Texas, it’s fall and spooky season in my brain 🥰

Not much comic news to report, Patchwork books are still on their way! Also to get a bit sentimental: THANK YOU GUYS for being here, I don’t state it enough but you’re the reason I’ve been able to buy/restock books all this time versus having to do Kickstarters or preorders. These books only exist because of you!! 🥰

Okay back to Red’s Halloween rants/recs lolol I would love to recommend y’all some new horror movies again this year but sadly for me there haven’t been any great ones lately 😭

SO I decided to recommend a few of my fav old school horror instead! It’s tradition that I only rewatch the classics around spooky season (I think cuz they’re all that played on cable Halloween marathons growing up) and I know they’re pretty well known but hey, I thought Anchorman was well known and look where that got us in the Patreon chat 😂

POLTERGEIST (1982)

Fam in a haunted house and kid gets Jumanji’d into a TV, also a clown doll.

(Definite comfort horror movie for me, I will RUIN a movie night by spouting facts about it throughout the entire thing)

THE FLY (1986)

Scientist creates teleport machine but a fly wants to join the party oh no

(It took me till I was in my 20s to watch this cuz I was never into sci-fi much but godDAMN it’s been in my top 3 fav movies of all time ever since then. If you only watch one movie on this list make it this)

PET SEMATARY (1989)

Fam move in house, house near cursed burial ground, cursed burial ground cause bad stuff

(Red history: in 5th grade most kids did book reports on Narnia, Animorphs etc but my edgy lil ass did Cujo, Carrie and Pet Sematary. Only I didn’t finish reading Pet Sematary in time so my mom and I watched the movie and I was TRAUMATIZED and had to sleep with the lights on for weeks. But now it’s one of my favorite movies and I can quote it verbatim so no idea the lesson learned here)

STEPHEN KING’S IT (1990)

Quite cheesily acted mini-series, but great spooky ride, comes with the best Tim Curry that ever Curried

(So much better than the recent CGI-riddled movies imo. You really just can’t beat Tim Curry’s Pennywise, I don’t make the rules I just make out with them)

INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE (1994)

Hot vampire turns hot dude into another hot vampire, pretty much get married and adopt a child

(Oh I had a PHASE of this movie when I was a teenager. Horror level is at a 1/10 but gay tension and drama is 10/10)

—

I could go on for like 20 more Halloween tradition movies but I’ll stop! If y’all have any horror recs or stories please throw them my way, this has always been a longtime passion in life, clearly 😂
