Just because the last month was December, I still made the month spooky, and, of course, I hope it continues in 2024.
Film: Bone TomaHawk. Nothing says Christmas more than a man torn in half like a wishbone. Joking aside, there is more to this film than the infamous gruesome scene. It is full of witty dialogue and a tale that is told at an even pace. However, it is too long, and certain travelling scenes could have been cut.
Book: Tall, Dark and Gruesome by Christopher Lee. I am currently going through a biography binge. What can I say? The man loves golf! That was more important to him than what a reader would be interested in, i.e. his films, especially those he did with Hammer, Star Wars and Lord of the Rings. But he is a man that seems to live more than one man should. It is written oddly, but you soon get used to that. It may work better as an audiobook, especially if he managed to narrate it before his death.
TV: Happiness. This Korean drama hits a little closer to home post-pandemic. I am only two episodes in and unsure how I feel about it. The first episode balanced character drama and horror, but the second one focused on the drama. As you expect from a K-Drama, it will be more than just your run-of-the-mill zombie apocalypse.
Writing: My A-Z of horror is still my focus currently. After watching a "so bad, they're good" horror set at Christmas, New Year's Eve, and a bad horror set at Christmas, I added a new section to the work. H is for Holidays.
