My Torts professor - who is so unbelievably inspiring - told us a heartbreaking, yet hopeful story tonight - then ended with these words: “Freedom of expression is priceless . . . Without New York Times v. Sullivan - there is nothing left of Democracy.”

Finished Crystal Lake this afternoon. It was so good. Explained Jason Voorhees - his death, how he’s able to stay alive, and his mothers descent. I absolutely loved it. Linda Cardellini was an excellent Pam Voorhees. It really was a great tribute to the franchise. #HATM

Name two characters you think are the same person. #HATM

That's a wrap here! Check out our fearless leader @herberthistory.bsky.social 's feed later this week for next Sunday's pick! & remember it'll be Daylight Savings. #HATM #ReadyorNot

Reminder for the folks at Historians at the Movies #hatm tonight that ‘Ready or Not’ was filmed at the lovely McLaughlin Estate called Parkwood in Oshawa, Ontario with a whole passel of Canadian actors as the family members.

Thank you @phdrachel.bsky.social for hosting such a fun night! Have a great week everyone and enjoy Halloween being on a Saturday. See y’all Sunday! #HATM

Tonight’s notes for Ready out Not with #HATM

1. The Tudor Dynasty 2. I’m not sure we have any that are weird. Hubs just said my parents are pretty bland. 😂😂 3. Turkey, Dressing sandwich from Firehouse. OMG! It’s so good! #HATM

Our guest host for tonight!! I’m so excited and I was hoping our own #HATM horror historian might take the reins this evening to round out our spooky season extravaganza!! 9 minutes and counting for Ready or Not! #HATM

Part of my professor’s summary of the dissent’s argument in J.D.B v North Carolina: “Yes, kids are more susceptible to pressure; I get it, I watch Saved by the Bell” buuuuut . . . OMG! I’m cracking up. 😂 He’s such a phenomenal professor!

#HATM

I love this movie! #HATM nailed spooky season this year! Glad to finish it off with this firecracker of a movie. I think the kids these days call it a banger! Sunday night - hope to see everyone there!

Watching the first episode of Crystal Lake. The music is a huge nod to the original movie (which I love), the font for the intro is a tribute to part 3, and Linda Cardellini wearing the Grey cable-knit sweater is a chef’s kiss. I’m loving it so far! #HATM

The more I delve into my research, the more I realize that Kyle Reese’s departure from 2029 is just not soon enough to save humanity. 😕 #HATM

Ugh, got the tissues out. “Everyday.” 🥺 #HATM

I haven’t seen this movie in a long time and I forgot just how sad it is. #HATM

“Look at this face, I’m not very mad.” 🥺#HATM

Tonight’s notes for the Sixth Sense with #HATM. Not posting a lot because I’m actually watching the movie. I saw it opening weekend and loved it.

1. A movie I watched way too young: Wizard of Gore. 2. Drowning 3. Chicken fajitas I wrote about 3 horrors sub genres and my experience with Wizard of Gore in @americanstudier.bsky.social’s American Studies Blogspot back in 2019. #HATM americanstudier.blogspot.com/2019/10/octo...

So the real Candyman, it turns out, was centuries of racial segregation and discrimination. #HATM

Thanks for hosting a fun night of horror. Have a great week everyone! See y’all next Sunday! #HATM

The collective #HATM celebration now that Trevor got to meet the hook. 😂

His work here is done! #HATM #TooBadTrevor

The girlfriend is already annoyed with his bullshit. I love that for him. #HATM

He brings his girlfriend to the funeral. Candyman needs to finish the job. Trevor is just asking to be picked off. #HATM

What if the ending was different and it was really her husband doing this to her somehow so he could be with his student. It’s not so far fetched. He is such a scumbag. #HATM

I read this to my husband and he said: The struggle is real. He knows from experience. 😬 #HATM

So far Candyman's scariest power is framing people for murder. #HATM #Candyman

Doc: Why don’t you tell me what happened at your apartment? My brain: He’s not going to believe her. #HATM

Jump scare! #HATM

Showing off the painting we (me, my kids, & husband) did during lockdown. You can see Candyman on the left looking scary & adorable for his class photo. There are 32 horror references here. Can you identify them all? #HATM

Trevor’s busy. 😬 #HATM

It seems like the writers were confused between what academics think "being published" means and what, you made the local papers and now publishers are interested means. #HATM #Candyman

👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 This right here! #HATM

OH. MY. GOSH! There he is! Tony Todd! Legend! 🔥 #HATM "I am the writing on the wall, the whisper in the classroom. Without these things, I am nothing. So, I must shed innocent blood."

Trevor’s back. 😂 #HATM

Her: we’re not ready to show you our work yet. Him: well this is where I can be most helpful. Her: we just went to CG today Him: Oh CG, you must read my article on the subject (and here’s everything I know about the subject even though you didn’t ask) #HATM

The lady playing Ann Marie also played in the original Melrose Place. Her character was a dancer and she was always the voice of reason in the group. Loved her character and yeah, I loved that show - up to season 2. 😂😂 #HATM

THE collective hatred of Trevor will be the glue for tonight’s adventure. 😂 #HATM

We now have tonight’s character that is collectively hated by the #HATM crowd. Did not take long for for him to make the list. He is truly a pile of crap. #HATM

Gen - X “back in the day” research. 😂😂 #HATM

Tonight’s notes for Candyman with #HATM

1. Anastasia Romanov’s survival 2. Navajo Weapon: Navajo Code Talkers by Sally McClain 3. Some type of meat loaf product. #HATM

We’re having some spooky fun this month for #HATM But if horror movies aren’t you’re thing, here are 5 spooky movies for people who don’t want to be scared. www.tiktok.com/t/ZPLkTySkP/

This week’s Historians At The Movies pick is CANDYMAN (1992). Behind the horror: racial violence, Chicago’s public housing, and the stories a city tells about whose lives matter. Who gets remembered? Who gets erased? Join us on Prime Video this Sunday, Oct 11 at 8pm eastern. #HATM
