We’re a little more than halfway into October, and I’ve been full on craving horror movies. Ash VS Evil Dead is back on, as well as American Horror Story, although I haven’t tuned into this season yet. I’m working on it though.
To prevent nightmares from happening, I tend to watch a lot more comedy-horror movies because they allow me to get through the day and sleep at night without missing out on horror aspects.
I put together a small list of some zombie movies that are enjoyable and memorable. Especially ones that I approve because I am able to sleep after watching these without any nightmares happening.
Have you jumped aboard the Stranger Things train? If not, get with the times! Join the rest of the world! Be a part of the conversation!
Honestly, if you haven’t seen it, no hate. I was reluctant to watch it myself being that the rest of the world was obsessed with it. I didn’t know if I cared to be in that conversation. To me it was another “American Idol” or “Breaking Bad”. Two completely different shows, I just realized, but they’re examples of shows that the world shut off all their electronics to watch. Or maybe not, as live-Tweeting is a thing.
But I gave in, and I fully understand why people are obsessed.
How can I make this post not sound offensive?
Well, let’s see. You know when you go to a bar, or karaoke, or someplace where alcohol may or may not be involved and there’s that group of obnoxious drunk girls singing along with the top 40 hits of today and whatever top 40 hits that may have existed in the 90s or 80s or 70s, and they all take group pictures lined up next to each other with their bodies twisted and hands on their hips and there’s nothing to differentiate them because they all have long hair, faux tan skin, duck faces and tight skirts? (Hello, run-on sentence.) I can totally get more descriptive if you don’t know what I’m talking about, but I wouldn’t believe you if you told me you don’t know what I’m talking about.
Anyway, I’ve witnessed that more times than I’d like to remember – in person and browsing through social media. Obnoxious drunk girls singing along to all the typical white girl songs gets kinda old, BUT it’s entertaining composing a list like this to poke fun. Is that mean? Well, whatever.
If you asked me what my favorite era is for fashion and style, hands down, 90’s is number one. If you asked my second, hands down, 80’s for sure. I love the bright colors, tacky nature, and Memphis design. The music is memorable, the movies are classics, and it’s an era that we keep revisiting to gather inspiration. It was such a ‘one of a kind’ period and it’s full of a plethora of amazing things.
I put together a list of my top favorite 80’s stylings in movies that I appreciate a ton.
Cyndi Lauper in Vibes [1988]
Yes, a movies featuring both Cyndi and Jeff Goldblum exists, and it’s not exactly a very well known movie. As you probably expect, yes it’s a cheesy flick, but it’s fun. It involves psychics and lost temples. As you’d expect, Cyndi’s style also makes its way into the movie. It’s a little toned town compared to her known eccentric look, but her outfits are still super fun and very Cyndi.
The film itself didn’t get very high reviews, and while watching, you can probably see why. But Vibes is an entertaining watch and Cyndi is just precious. Her quirky personality stands out just as much as her wardrobe, and it’s hard to take your eyes off her. It’s honestly a real pleasant watch, especially when Cyndi is on the screen.
It’s been a week since David Bowie passed, and guess what – it won’t stop sucking. It’s unfortunate and disappointing to lose a legend like him, but the legacy he left behind is great and wonderful, and he’s touched and influenced so many people. It’s pretty amazing that one can leave behind what he left behind, and that makes for such an extraordinary life. David Bowie will forever be remembered that way.
I compiled a tiny list of pretty wonderful David Bowie cover songs. My top five. I’m sure there are so many more great ones out there, so feel free to share!
(Some horror movie finger puppets my brother made which are pretty hilarious. You get a gold star if you can name these five!)
While Halloween is still kinda fresh, I still want to linger on the topic of horror movies. It’s the most appropriate time of the year to talk about horror movies and I still want to get in a few more words before we all start thinking about Thanksgiving. Cool? Cool.
Well, the past few days I’ve been watching a lot of horror flicks. After watching all the Halloweens (original 1 – 5 + remake), I thought about what I like in horror movies. I guess what draws me in is a good story line bordering thriller, twists and turns, obviously a high creep factor, and most of the time no monster-like killer. I made myself a list, and I’m gonna share it. Most of these are kinda obscure. I kinda like it like that though.
I got a kick out of writing up this list of songs featuring names and prefixes, so I want to take it to another level today and single out the 90’s decade and share songs with names from over fifteen years ago. There are so many gems, but these especially stand out for me, in alphabetical order of course!
When I was in Greece, I couldn’t help but take advantage by asking family about stories from my parent’s youth. Accompanied with the stories were old photo albums that were loaded with photos I’ve never seen before. I’ve only seen my dad’s baby photo and his army photo when he was in his early twenties. Those two and that’s it, so it was a treat to see more than just those two photos.
Of course, there were a few gems that stood out that made me think “he/she looks like [insert name]” and I created little collages since I got a kick out of it.
It’s not very hard to entertain me.
So I feel confident saying that I’ve done enough karaoke to be comfortable sharing my “go to” list that I don’t think can really go wrong, just as the title states.
Depending on the crowd and your mood, sometimes these songs don’t quite make the dent you think they would. From my experience, 70% of the time these songs are crowd pleasers and can induce a massive sing alongs. I always love it when that happens.
I had just arrived home on Saturday from my three month long trip and am real excited to be back. While I prepare my photos for the upcoming posts that will be more in depth about my trip than what I was able to post while in Greece, I’ll post my weekly entertaining post today that I accidentally neglected the past couple of weeks. So here we go.
The visual aspects of movies are something that is hard to ignore. I wouldn’t call myself fashion obsessive, but I appreciate fashion that is featured in films. Obviously eccentric styles are my favorites as I have shown here.
