I always thought it'd be cool (tho impractical) to make it like a choose your own adventure book, pick which object the people end up touching in the movie to give me kill scenes.

Well crud, Andy and I will be mia this weekend. It's pumpkin carving weekend with the bffs. Miss you all!

It was surprisingly good and went in an interesting direction. I loved the ending, like welp not much we can do so let's enjoy the ride out.

Had a few things come up so haven't had chance to finish book, but Im so close to the end. Can't wait to finish it and start on silence.

This is how they've worked for years, not exactly new news.

Smash next time?

So I'm currently a third through red dragon and holy smokes is it good. I don't normally like crime novels, but this one hits differently. It's an easy read so I'm sure to finish it probably this weekend and then dig into silence. I cant help but picture Hopkins Everytime they mention or talk to Hannibal.

I mean you're not wrong. That cast list I've seen gifs and clips of the show, the dude who plays Hannibal seems really good at it. It's on my backlog of shows for sure.

Lol naww. The brewery made an awesome root beer but they don't bottle it.

Horrible confession time: I've never seen the Hannibal movies. So I'm actually starting with red dragon and then will read silence. I know the general story of Hannibal so I'm starting at the first. They're shorter reads so should be no issues finishing both this month. After reading dragon I want to watch manhunter or red dragon ( they seem to be the takes on the same book) and then I'll watch silence once finished that book. Spooky plans

Could do amazingly cute spooky things with some chocobos.

Just finished the first Bayonetta. I love the crazy, episodic levels. Always keeps it interesting.

No rush!

It says it is a throw back to soda shop sodas? Not sure, but they are really good, real sugar too.

Not normally a big soda drinker but these are realllllly good. The cherry is a tart cherry, doesn't taste like sugar syrup like other cherry sodas. The cream soda is just yum.

Time to grab the cider and a bag of candy and dive into this months choice of : Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris Feel free to bring in the movie as well for comparison if you'd like. It's fun to talk the difference between the written and recorded as well. Hannibal Lecter. The ultimate villain of modern fiction. Read the five-million-copy bestseller that scared the world silent. The Silence of the Lambs. A young FBI trainee. An evil genius locked away for unspeakable crimes. A plunge into the darkest chambers of a psychopath's mind--in the deadly search for a serial killer. (Technically it is book #2 but Google says its not necessary to read them in order FYI)

Finished up monster hunter stories 2 and it was fucking adorable. Now to collect all the monsties!

I might be terrible at smash but I always find out fun lol

Can we add smash next time?

I prefer hill over king tbh. It was my first book from Hill and I loved it. NOS4R2 is also really good from Hill as well.

It's almost the best holiday of the year, Halloween! This month we can choose from some spooky reads to change it up and to match the season Poll will run from 9/21-9/30 and start 10/1. Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris Hannibal Lecter. The ultimate villain of modern fiction. Read the five-million-copy bestseller that scared the world silent. The Silence of the Lambs. A young FBI trainee. An evil genius locked away for unspeakable crimes. A plunge into the darkest chambers of a psychopath's mind--in the deadly search for a serial killer. (Technically it is book #2 but Google says its not necessary to read them in order FYI) Something Wick This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury One of Ray Bradbury’s best-known and most popular novels, Something Wicked This Way Comes, now featuring a new introduction and material about its longstanding influence on culture and genre. For those who still dream and remember, for those yet to experience the hypnotic power of its dark poetry, step inside. The show is about to begin. Cooger & Dark’s Pandemonium Shadow Show has come to Green Town, Illinois, to destroy every life touched by its strange and sinister mystery. The carnival rolls in sometime after midnight, ushering in Halloween a week early. A calliope’s shrill siren song beckons to all with a seductive promise of dreams and youth regained. Two boys will discover the secret of its smoke, mazes, and mirrors; two friends who will soon know all too well the heavy cost of wishes…and the stuff of nightmares. Few novels have endured in the heart and memory as has Ray Bradbury’s unparalleled literary masterpiece Something Wicked This Way Comes. Scary and suspenseful, it is a timeless classic in the American canon. Full Dark, No Stars by Stephen King "I believe there is another man inside every man, a stranger..." writes Wilfred Leland James in the early pages of the riveting confession that makes up "1922." the first in this pitch-black quartet of mesmerizing tales from Stephen King. For James, that stranger is awakened when his wife, Arlette, proposes selling off the family homestead and moving to Omaha, setting in motion a gruesome train of murder and madness. In "Big Driver," a cozy-mystery writer named Tess encounters the stranger along a back road in Massachusetts when she takes a shortcut home after a book-club engagement. Violated and left for dead, Tess plots a revenge that will bring her face-to-face with another stranger: the one inside herself. "Fair Extension," the shortest of these tales, is perhaps the nastiest and certainly the funniest. Making a deal with the devil not only saves Dave Streeter from a fatal cancer but provides rich recompense for a lifetime of resentment. When her husband of more than twenty years is away on one of his business trips, Darcy Anderson looks for batteries in the garage. Her toe knocks up against a box under a worktable and she discovers the stranger inside her husband. It's a horrifying discovery, rendered with bristling intensity, and it definitely ends a good marriage. Like Different Seasons and Four Past Midnight, which generated such enduring films as The Shawshank Redemption and Stand By Me, Full Dark, No Stars proves Stephen King a master of the long story form. Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill Aging, self-absorbed rock star Judas Coyne has a thing for the macabre -- his collection includes sketches from infamous serial killer John Wayne Gacy, a trepanned skull from the 16th century, a used hangman's noose, Aleister Crowley's childhood chessboard, etc. -- so when his assistant tells him about a ghost for sale on an online auction site, he immediately puts in a bid and purchases it. The black, heart-shaped box that Coyne receives in the mail not only contains the suit of a dead man but also his vengeance-obsessed spirit. The ghost, it turns out, is the stepfather of a young groupie who committed suicide after the 54-year-old Coyne callously used her up and threw her away. Now, determined to kill Coyne and anyone who aids him, the merciless ghost of Craddock McDermott begins his assault on the rocker's sanity.

Yes please.
