Another October, another welcome distraction from the world. It’s movie time! My goal is to watch one per night, with a mix of movies I have and haven’t seen before. I’ll post reviews on Letterboxd (boxd.it/4WE5j). See my previous marathons in the repost below. #horror #movies #31nightsofhorror

Today everyone — EVERYONE — should take a moment and read Ray Bradbury's four-page short story from 1950.
"Today is August 4, 2026," said a second voice from the kitchen ceiling, "in the city of
Allendale, California." It repeated the date three times for memory's sake. "Today is Mr.
Featherstone's birthday. Today is the anniversary of Tilita's marriage. Insurance is payable,
as are the water, gas, and light bills."
