While maybe not my favorite, itās probably among my most influential vampire films.
I was 7 years old and my much cooler 17-year old babysitter and her friends let me watch this hot new movie with them. I was arguably *way* too young to watch it, but dammit I felt cool and Iām fairly certain my brain chemistry changed thereafter.

šI rewatched My Babysitter's a Vampire after 10 years and it is still a cinematic masterpiece. The CGI, acting, and dialogue definitely puts twilight to the ground. I have learned new lingo that I will be merging into my daily vocabulary such as "wick!"

š©øwhich I had shared with friends last October and I thought I saved it somewhere in my Notes app but itās lost in the ether :( Iām a huge horror fan and former obsessive. Iāll recommend just a few:
Tod Browningās Freaks (1932) ā watched this on TCM the morning before my like tenth birthday party and it rocked my world foreverā¦ sad and disturbing
The Others (2001) ā gorgeous gothic atmospheric soooo creepy and Nicole Kidman is a vision
Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me (1992) ā details the last days of a troubled beautiful teenage girl named Laura Palmerā¦ heartbreaking examination of traumatic cycles and evil forces. I would recommend that you watch the show first though š¤
Barbarian (2022) ā this goes against like everything you said you wanted but I have to put it on here because itās so scary and expertly paced and filled me with dread but itās also hilarious! It has to be my favorite recently released horror movie

Over the last few years, Iāve started to purchase DVDs at the thrift store whenever I find a favorite or one Iāve been meaning to watch. Theyāre always super duper cheap (Iām talking a buck a pop) and itās easy to check theyāre in good condition.
Now I can always have my fave movies and shows on deck because effā these greeding streaming services šš½

My eldest kitty Moose was rescued through a foster network I was volunteering with, he is a very good goofy boy and I love his little āantlersā on his forehead!
My youngest kitty Lady Bug (the space between āLadyā and āBugā is important as her noble title should always be addressed), is only a few months old but so brave and cuddly! Her little grinch hairs behind her ears are my fave.

In 2024, I experienced grief in all of its stages. Fundamentally it changed me - for better or worse? Iām working on that with my therapist.
I found myself listening to this song *a lot* throughout the year. Maybe it was the vulnerable and relatable lyrics mashed up with a uplifting melody, but something about the final linesā¦
*āIt's that little souvenir of a colorful year Which makes me smile insideā*
ā¦ always got to me. Hopeful, might be the feeling. Especially since itās the only point in the song that she doesnāt reference it as a terrible year. To me it felt like she wanted autonomy over how she wanted her song, her story on the year to end. She defines it, rather than it defines her.
You canāt control when grief happens to you, but you can control how you decide to navigate through it. Maybe, just maybe, I could look back at my grief and let it go.
