one of the few movies in recent memory that is legitimately freaky and bone-chilling. again this falls into the more moody/atmospheric horror. wouldn’t recommend if you really hate puppets.
I watched this movie on a plane to Australia and I LOVED IT. The late 90s look of everything, the autumn scenery, the goofy looking werewolves, etc. combine together to make this really unique and fun experience. It has such a perfect October vibe to it, I cannot recommend it enough. It is currently on Prime Video to watch and you will have an amazing time if you enjoyed movies like The Craft or other coming of age supernatural horror flicks. Big content warning [technically a spoiler i guess but it is the first scene in the film] though regarding violence against animals, there is a decent amount of implied and explicit violence against dogs.
after five years of grad school and subsequent job search, i can finally say i have successfully changed careers 😭 i start my new job counseling kids at a community mental health clinic on Monday. yesterday was my last shift at the grocery store that was an escape from my horrible corporate job and a sustaining force throughout grad school. it’s so bittersweet to leave the sweetest coworkers i’ve ever had and the most fun i’ve had at work. it’s immeasurably healing to quit a job for only good reasons. my coworkers got me a cake, everyone wrote notes in a card, and the goodbyes throughout the day made my heart swell. i even got to tell the good news to my favorite instacarter 🥺 after i clocked out for the last time, my friends joined me for gelato at the cafe and we strolled the store for a final time, this time as simply a loyal customer.
