i became obsessed with buying vhs lots on ebay about two years ago, specifically horror movies from the 80’s / 90’s. there is just something about watching that era and genre of film on a shitty tv with that scratchy staticky sound. also a fun way to watch things you would never hear about or think to watch. very inexpensive as well (at least in my case)

I’m still watching them even tho October is over wtf??? I just can’t get enough. Recent greats include:
Noroi: The Curse (2005)
- Found footage… the climax is so good. Great for fans of ghost/demon stuff.
Pulse (2001)
- One of my favourite horror movies ever. Worms its way into your being. Some truly terrifying, iconic scenes and imagery, not to mention quite prescient in its message re: online connectivity and society. Really can’t sing its praises enough!
Ju-On: The Grudge (2002)
- A classic!!! Still hits. Quintessential haunted house domestic strife ghost story. Toshio 😢🐈⬛
Audition (1999)
- Probably my least favourite of this batch. Not for the squeamish. Still worth a watch if only for its feminist social commentary.
GonJiam: Haunted Asylum (2018)
- OK this one is admittedly kinda hokey but it’s based off a REAL location and the jump scares are amazing!! Some truly spine-tingling moments. Not recommended just before bed lol 😬 (Also found footage)

Not sure if I've rec'd this before on here, but this video feels like it was made for me? It really made me think and reflect on why I like this era of horror film and what the mass appeal was. I haven't really had another video that I've connected with in the same way.

listen to the radio of certain songs or bands you listen to often! i find a new song i am obsessed with almost every day. daylists are a hit or miss same with discover weekly, but you could also give those a try!
