Has anyone lived in a haunted house before? For one year I lived in a 16 bedroom, 3 story mansion that was haunted.

As a child I had a couple of what I would call 'ghostly' experiences. Like you I lived in a big old house for about a year. It was an old Victorian Children's Home, 3 stories with about 20 bedrooms. I always felt like there was a presence there. I was raised Catholic but never truly believed, although it affected me as a child. As I have got older, I am real sceptic now when it comes to the supernatural. I am also a staunch atheist. I was very susceptible to anything ghostly when I was younger. I loved horror films from as far as I can remember. I wanted to believe they were real. Looking back I think can attribute my experiences to my imagination and presupposition that they existed, so I think I was almost 'conjuring' an experience.

That's not to say someone else's experience isn't real.

I have a huge interest in psychology and an understanding of why I thought those experiences actually happened to me back then. I still love ghostly and religious horror films, they are probably my favourite. I just don't get spooked when I turn the lights off at night now/

I Am A Ghost had me on the edge of my seat. It felt so much longer than it’s 75 minute runtime, I was tense and genuinely scared for so much of it. The use of sound in this movie is so intense. I recommend it for anyone who is interested in a very low budget slow burn. My only issue was it was a bit repetitive in the beginning but it all ended up adding to the uncomfortableness so I can overlook that.

Halloween Kills deserves the guillotine.

Nothing about it was scary, just brutal to the point where it was like “this head exploded, let’s zoom in!” I mean, the whole audience vibe was like babe, he’s already dead. The script, the acting, the story, the fucking mob? Horrible. I was stanning Kyle though.

I enjoyed Summer of 84. It felt pretty heavy handed with its 80’s influences/nostalgia and very Stranger Things but it was a fun ride.

The shock of the one friend getting his throat slit, it had been pretty tame on violence up until that point. I wasn’t too convinced that Rich Sommer had done a great job of portraying a scary serial killer & then he did THAT animalistic hate-filled speech near the end, creepy.

I am quite a sceptic too, but the experiences were only that one year, and only in that one particular house. Never happened before or after that year.

In one of the bedrooms a Maori Princess had written a poem inside a cupboard about 100 years ago.

The oddest experience was when I felt a presence pass through my body. It is kind of hard to explain the feeling in words.

I didn't worry about it too much as whatever it was didn't feel like an 'evil' presence.

Slumber Party Massacre remake was ok. I appreciated the subversion of all the male eye candy.

I had fun with it. It’s definitely a SyFy original but it keeps the spirit of the others whilst being it’s own thing.

Has anyone seen Til Kleinert’s Der Samurai? I watched it again for the first time since a bleary Frightfest in 2014 and it’s still a beautifully weird blast of a film. Beautifully shot, darkly funny, and some amazing set pieces despite being only 80 minutes long.

Pit Bukowski is an absolute babe, too.

The Poughkeepsie Tapes was fairly well done. A touch of realness to it. I thought I had seen it as the name rang a bell. I think it's been mentioned in here before, so maybe that's why. The documentary style is is a bit dated, it was made in 2007, but it still works.

It's one of my favourite films but I refuse to revisit it alone. It left me feeling watched for a good couple of days. I've been holding out for a UK Blu-Ray release of it after it had a US release in 2017, but not very hopeful.

I guess Ms Mancini went all the way camp (one can tell by casting John Waters) with Seed of Chucky. The way I hated Glen and then grew to love him by the end of it ddd

“It’s just a little slip. Rome wasn’t built in a day.”

I’m now at Curse of Chucky and I’m surprised the doll has been reworked and this has gone back to full on horror again? YATH. One more to go and then I start the series.

I just wanna say I love Chucky. I just wanna be hugged.
