I recently visited Facets in Chicago, which is basically a community theater with incredible programming. They recently hosted a "Dressed to Possess" Halloween screening, featuring a double feature on haunted dresses. I watched Tobe Hooper's I'm Dangerous Tonight with Twin Peaks' Mädchen Amick, and I loved the audience's reactions — it totally reminded me of Twin Peaks. Plus, I bought my own haunted dress after the showing from a vintage shop called Punch Shop Vintage!

* Eyes Without a Face—very creepy and beautiful and we screamed several times. It made me want a cunty impractical little housedress. I can’t believe how many times this Ghislaine ass bitch got away with abducting young women
* Babygirl rewatch with friends—goated obviously it was nice watching it with other people instead of as a lone goonette
* Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me—one of my favorite movies ever it was my DREAM to see this in a theater and I finally achieved it
* Smile 2—we also screamed watching this it was SCAWWYYYYY I loved it

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

It’s almost criminal that I’m just now watching this show, considering how much I love anime thrillers! I’m on layer: 08 (episode 8) — don’t tell me what happens next!😭🛜💞

My all-time favorite film is Satoshi Kon’s Perfect Blue. No other movie goes deep into avatars, alter egos, and the unraveling of one’s identity after stepping into the dark side of entertainment quite like this one. It’s beautiful and incredibly dark. It feels especially relevant in today’s digital age.

I’ve loved thrifting and vintage since I was young, and while I’m not a perfect sustainable fashionista, I try! I also really enjoy the cultural commentary and policy coverage — they’re so helpful for a girl with an environmental reporter beat and a passion for eco-fashion.
