So I just saw Spellbound.

And it was pretty great.

This Friday I have to turn in a paper for my Alfred Hitchcock class: the one that spurred on this Hitchcock marathon. It involved looking at a Hitchcock movie we hadn't seen specifically for class and I wasn't going to write this until the paper was done.

I thought it was pretty good.

So a bit over a week ago, I saw Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018).

And it was...decent?

Hello all.

Just wanted to check in and drop a recommendation for a pair of books I know about, that I felt would be seasonally appropriate.

Respectively, they are "Horror Cavalcade: From The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari to Curse of the Werewolf," and "Horror Cavalcade: From The Pit and the Pendulum to The Sixth Sense."
