Mix of nostalgic childhood favorites and fun horror movies

Honestly I could go on forever but these are the first ones I could think of… a related post should display below this one with some of my other horror recommendations * Ernest Scared Stupid… very goofy. you can actually watch it in its entirety on YouTube… Eartha Kitt is in it… * Scooby Doo and the Witch’s Ghost; Scooby Doo on Zombie Island; Scooby Doo and the Ghoul School — i was obsessed with Scooby Doo as a kid and these still hold up… * Return to Oz — this movie is so fucked up and underrated. starring THORA BIRCH * The Craft; Ginger Snaps — obviously. Listing these together as they’re both angsty teen movies * American Mary — so iconic and very gory * The Autopsy of Jane Doe — so scary!!! * Red Rooms — creepiest movie I’ve seen all year but not in the way you might think… * Malignant — best movie * Suspiria remake and original — tbh i prefer the remake but the original is a vibe * Oddity — fun and atmospheric * Cure — meditative, deeply unsettling, even hypnotic one could say… * Sleepy Hollow — incredible gothic Halloween vibes * Strange Darling — FINALLY just released to streaming today I haven’t seen it but I’m including it on this list on a provisional basis because I’ve heard amazing things * The Others — Nicole Kidman spooky period ghost film 😍 * Vampire’s Kiss — he’s a vampire!! * Resident Evil Village — not a movie but I know you play games and this one is so silly and fun * 🚨 UMM also the Silent Hill 2 remake is coming out next week 🚨

I’m so mad because i wrote a huge list of horror movies

which I had shared with friends last October and I thought I saved it somewhere in my Notes app but it’s lost in the ether :( I’m a huge horror fan and former obsessive. I’ll recommend just a few: Tod Browning’s Freaks (1932) — watched this on TCM the morning before my like tenth birthday party and it rocked my world forever… sad and disturbing The Others (2001) — gorgeous gothic atmospheric soooo creepy and Nicole Kidman is a vision Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me (1992) — details the last days of a troubled beautiful teenage girl named Laura Palmer… heartbreaking examination of traumatic cycles and evil forces. I would recommend that you watch the show first though 🤓 Barbarian (2022) — this goes against like everything you said you wanted but I have to put it on here because it’s so scary and expertly paced and filled me with dread but it’s also hilarious! It has to be my favorite recently released horror movie

Starting over

“Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.” — Anaïs Nin This is uncharacteristically raw and personal, even for me, and pretty heavy! I know many of you have seen me posting through it and I feel safe to talk about it openly now that I’ve safely landed at the start of my new life. It’s honestly even a little bit embarrassing but I think it’s important to share. I’ve never publicly mentioned it on here, but I have a husband; as of Friday, we’d have been together for 11 years, and we’ve been married for 3 years as of 2/22. I realize now that I wanted to explore what I looked like outside of my relationship with him because I had lost that. This is why PI.FYI has been so meaningful to me as a space to express myself and connect with people—to rediscover my voice. I had been living a lie this entire time, to others but worst of all to myself. He’s been verbally and emotionally abusive, physically but without touching me, to the point that every day I spent with him I was in danger. I’ve been shrinking myself and walking on eggshells to avoid making him insecure and provoking his casual put-downs and fits of rage, while hanging on for dear life to the threads of good I could see. I’ve wanted so badly to leave, more than anything, but I felt like there was no way out and that this was just something I would need to endure indefinitely—but someone who is so very dear to me helped me see that I have wings to fly, not by acting as my savior but by reminding me of my own power. The emotional safety they built and the gentle care they showed me made me feel like I could open up to them. With their encouragement I was brave enough to tell the truth to my friends, my family, my boss, and they have received me with warm, loving and open arms and rallied to support and protect me. The financial and  logistical aspects were the most intimidating to me and it’s going to be tough for a while but I’m going to be better than okay! Now I’m opening up to you. This isn’t the only abuse I’ve suffered in my life, and my old therapist told me she believed it was my mission to share my strength and light with others to inspire them and show them that change is possible. I hope that by sharing this, I can reach even just one person who is going through something similar and show that they are not alone, and they are not weak. People with certain backgrounds may be more vulnerable to abuse, but it can happen to anyone. It thrives in darkness, shame, and isolation—and breaking that silence is the first step toward freedom. Leaving is the scariest thing I have ever done but I have so many angels around me, and I am endlessly grateful. Thank you for being here with me 💌

Never changing

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌
