Technically no, as several movies could probably tick off multiple boxes at once (ie. Friday the 13th part 6 could check off F13 movie, 80s slasher and horror comedy), but any horror watching at all is encouraged for the month

4. Haunted House - A classic horror subgenre which can take many shapes and forms, and can be big budget or shoestring, and still is always a good time. A few of my favourites: Poltergeist Hell House LLC Insidious The Changeling

It’s slow for sure but it is such an aesthetic movie I feel like it overcomes the pacing. It really is one of the most beautifully filmed horror movies I’ve ever seen.

3. Black and White - Classic B&W horror movies definitely focus more on vibes and atmosphere then gore itself, so for people who hate that aspect of horror these movies can be great for creepy autumn evening. A few of my favourites: Psycho Carnival of Souls Night of the Living Dead The Haunting

Matt Hill @cannabrain.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

2. Folk Horror - Folk horror is great for Halloween because it usually has strong autumnal vibes and is beautifully filmed. Often historical, witches feature prominently in this subgenre. A few of my favourites: The Witch The Wicker Man (1973) You Won't be Alone Hokum

1. 80s slasher - the slasher era technically started in 1978 with Hallowe'en, but the 80s was when the glut of slashers poured out. Some are trashy, some are campy, most are fun. Here are a few of my favourites. Sleepaway Camp The Prowler Just Before Dawn The Burning

For the sake of your sanity, when you head back to airport leave a ton of extra time. The construction there causes massive back ups. I left Wednesday and decided to walk the last mile because it was a 40 min drive still. @mayoonthebrain.bsky.social driver fell asleep and then drove into someone.

The new science of cannabis and sleep

Research suggests cannabis suppresses REM sleep, raising questions about memory, emotion and the purpose of dreams.

I feel like there is no horror movie presence on Bluesky, so I will say what needs to be said. Go see Obsession. Even if you are not a horror movie fan, it is legitimately just one of the best movies I have seen in a very long time. It's incredibly well acted and executed, an instant classic.

For example, in an ephys prep if you are trying to gauge if CB1 receptors are desensitized, using a synthetic CB1 agonist to examine its effects on synaptic transmitter release is a totally appropriate use of these drugs.

010

Matt Hill @cannabrain.bsky.social · 01/05/2026

Well irrelevant for understanding the effects of cannabis in humans, yes, not a relevant approach. If you just want to activate cb1 receptors and aren’t claiming you’re modelling cannabis then I wouldn’t argue that.

There either needs to be better subject matter matching or some kind of discussion to enforce some degree of accountability for the reviews. All trainee awards are managed embarrassingly by CIHR because of the sheer randomness they seem to assign them to reviewers.

I gotta say that CIHR needs to get its shit together when it comes to postdoc grant reviews. One of my postdocs didn’t receive an award this year because one reviewer scored her down as she didn’t explain the randomization and exclusion criteria for her study. It’s a study done in mice. Seriously. 😐
