I'm such a sucker for these horror movies based on old fairy tales. They're so delightfully bad. Pinocchio is a good choice to horrify - creepy little puppet bastard!

The thing I like about Friday the 13th is how there seems to be machetes casually available everywhere

Saturday Night Horror - I've had Friday the 13th on my mind lately because of the new prequel series coming soon, so I decided to watch part 3, it's one of the series I never get bored of!

Good trip to the farm today - corn on the cob, zucchini, Chinese eggplant, delicata squash and pears! The farmer said, as long as there is no frost, they could have corn for several more weeks!

This is an amazing book, if you have an e-reader, I highly recommend taking advantage of this deal!

Latest Read; Psycho by Robert Bloch. I recently rewatched the movie so decided to read the book. The movie was very faithful, but somehow it was better than the book, but I still enjoyed this. Interesting to see the original Norman Bates, much different than the movie one!

$1,305.07 - holy crap. I think I will be wearing layers this winter...and maybe invest in three or four cats as portable heaters!

A look at my September reads - I read some truly amazing books, but I have to give it to the Exorcist as my favorite!

I've been a reporter for almost 30 years and I truly, truly believe local news is vital, but days like this are hard when there are even more and more layoffs and you lose good people, people who have been doing this for decades. It makes it hard to love the profession

Latest read: The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty. I haven't read this since I was in high school, so I decided to reread it now...and I absolutely loved it. The movie is really faithful to the book, but there's so much more depth to the characters that you just don't have time for in a movie.

Actually, I think it's mushrooms that have rotted. I was refilling the bird feeder and came upon several of these piles in place of mushroom patches!

Is this poop and, if so, from what kind of animal?

Spooky season appropriate! Pumpkin spice candle from Aldi.

I've noticed that my cat Bear has become more assertive since her sister died. She always kind of let her sister take the lead in everything and it seems like she's letting her personality out for. Definitely exhibiting the legendary tortitude!

There's a little old lady who I see on my walk that often offers me things and I always turn down for various reasons and I started feeling guilty. I told myself, the next time she offered me something, I'd take it just to be nice. And today, I scored, two local peaches from one of the local farms!

This was not the best of the Hammer Draculas. It may actually be one of the worst, but I still enjoyed some parts!

I love the old Hammer horror movies. I'm not sure if I have ever watched this one, but Christopher Lee as Dracula is always good!

Saturday Night Horror. I saw "Psycho Goreman" recommended by two different horror influencers on social media this week and I was influenced!

I was pleasantly surprised to have a dry walk today. I fully expected to have to drag out my rain coat

I love weekends. If my bed is feeling extra comfortable, I don't have to drag myself out of it to get ready for work. I laid in bed for an hour and a half after waking up this morning and it felt fantastic!

Latest read: The Nudge by Joseph Fink. I liked the idea of the story, but this is a (mostly) two-character story and the dialogue between the two characters just didn't flow like a real conversation. It felt like a conversation written by college creative writing students.

Happy to say, I took a 2.5 mile walk in my new shoes and they felt great. I have super wide feet, so it's not easy to find shoes that are comfortable!

I got Under Armor sneakers instead of Skechers. Does that make me more hip? Do I still come across as a youngster if I have hip shoes?

One of my favorite Halloween houses is prepared to be fully decorated. The guy said he planned on setting up this weekend, but because of the nor'easter, he's going to wait!

I recently realized most of my favorite seasonings included smoked paprika. So, I bought smoked paprika and use it on everything

Latest read - Lost Boy: The True Story of Capt. Hook by Christina Henry. I've read quite a few horror-version of children's stories, and this has been my favorite. I loved everything about it - the story, the characters, the dialogue. Peter Pan just makes a perfect conversion to horror.

63 degrees in my house this morning. I used to be anal about turning the heat on before a certain date, but now I do it when it drops below 60

For the past few years, I have heard a strange noise coming from outside several times a day, but I could never figure out what it was. I figured it out today, it was not coming from outside, it was from my basement. It's the pump on my dehumidifier kicking on several times a day. 3 years!

Day 2 of long pants. I love cooler weather, but I hate long pants. It's so hard!

It's crazy how close yard buns will allow you to get. I mean, yes, I zoomed in, but not as much as you'd think

Latest read: This Movie Doesn't End the Way We Want by Hailey Piper. I adore Hailey Piper and I've read all of her books and this one is up there with "No Gods for Drowning," as my favorite. I absolutely loved the story, the characters and the Toad Man! A must read!

My neighbor's daughter was wearing an elaborate cosplay and explained sheepishly she was dressed like that for a concert. I said, "I'm a 52 year old man walking a cat on a leash, there's no judgement."

I took my cat out today again and she met a new dog. She handled it well, she hissed at him, but they sniffed each other up close and she did not resort to violence
