Hooptober watch #24. Freaked (1993). A film worked on by Screaming Mad George. #hooptober #hooptober13

For 2026 horror releases I’ve read Off the Reservation by @stephengrahamjones.com, Trad Wife by Sarah Langan, and Blacktail by @scotthawkinswrites.bsky.social. These three up next. What a great year for horror.

Hooptober watch #23. Detention (2011).

As opposition to EverWind's proposed AI data centre project grows, Nova Scotians are being left with more questions than answers. We need to ask ourselves: is this really the kind of project we want in our province? Read our full statement ecologyaction.ca/resources-me...

First, NS Premier Tim Houston signed a “one project, one review” agreement with Ottawa, claiming provincial environmental assessments were “world class,” so federal impact assessments were not needed. Which is garbage and a giant leap backwards. And now … www.halifaxexaminer.ca/dismantling-...

Getting a good start to the day. 💙📚

I see a direct line from roughing up the 80-year-old man in Wolfville to evicting Joan Baxter and Jennifer Henderson from the EverWind announcement to vilifying Paul Wonzey. It's all about delegitimizing dissent.

Hooptober watch #22. The Devil Rides Out (1968). #hooptober #hooptober13

Was having trouble picking a new audiobook after finishing The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires. Settled on The Handyman by Bentley Little. Tried The Exorcist’s House and Bird Box but they just weren’t working for me right now. Liking The Handyman so far.

Hooptober watch #21 - Wishmaster (1997). #hooptober #hooptober13

Hooptober watch #20 In the Mouth of Madness (1994). #hooptober #hooptober13

Hooptober watch #19. Halloween (2018). #hooptober #hooptober13

Stupidly excited to see this.

This is indefensible behaviour from Everwind. The research done by this reddit poster on the issue is worth your time. The link to the thread www.reddit.com/r/halifax/co... - The Halifax Examiner is one of the last true resources we have for journalism in Nova Scotia. Disgusting.

Some quiet time before getting back on the road.

Hooptober watch #16. 1 baaaad kid film. The Pit (1981). #hooptober #hooptober13

Damn, this was great. Read it.

Just getting started on this. My first by Sarah Langan, but I love her writing. Can’t wait to see where this goes.

Another killer book from @stephengrahamjones.com

Now watching: Burnt Offerings (1976).

Now watching: The House That Screamed (1969). #hooptober #hooptober13

Essential reading.

Sometimes it’s important to put our own troubles in perspective.

It’s arrived.

Movie number 8. #hooptober #hooptober13 my list: boxd.it/WTZ3y

Getting back to my #Hooptober watches. Tonight’s double bill:

The better the book, the more annoyed I get at these minor copy editing errors. This one is particularly grating.

Give me your favourite audiobook recommendations. Want to get some lined up in my queue. Looking for books to get lost in and take my mind off life things at the moment. Horror and sf recs great but all recs welcome.

How am I supposed to get up now to make a second coffee? Guess I have no choice but to sit here and read a little longer.

Yay! My preorder has arrived.

A little light reading to start the day. Been waiting to dive into this.

One of the greatest.

Spending a lot of time sitting in a hospital room with my father and can’t focus on anything that requires even a little effort. Looking for a book that will do a lot of the work for me. Hoping one of these will do the trick. Any other suggestions?

Hey babe. We’ve got you covered: www.riverriverbooks.org/store

Canada literally has two Conservative parties right now. Conservatives and the extra weird Conservatives. Democracy!

Think I may have found the first book in my challenge I’m going to need to skip and try again later. Lots going on right now and just can’t get into it. Going to move on rather than bog down.

Curious to see what others think of this. I loved Library at Mount Char and went into his new book with a lot of hope. I tried very hard to love it, but I just didn’t. There was great promise here of a more horror filled Richard Adams, but it felt more like a darker version of Warrior Cats.
