Many different colours of Aida fabric for cross stitching.

I'm back in Sweden from my 'year in exile' and I didn't come empty handed. I picked up some lovely Aida and I'm ready to get stitching 🪡💜 #craft #crossstitch #craftsupplies

The ten movies I enjoyed the most this year (those ratings are IMDB, not mine). Not necessarily the 10 best but I had a lot of fun with these and it was great to see proper, well-made films. If I had to pick the best, I'd go with Sinners. Chef's kiss! #film #filmsky #sinners 🎬🧟‍♂️🪕💜

My documenting things on Bluesky got de-railed a couple of times by life this year but I managed to get a few films in. Not sure how accurate the 'favourite genre' pick is tho....

I revisited Gremlins 2. I get it, but it's not for me. I guess it depends on the version you grew up with. I prefer the darker tone and plot of the original but if you love the goofier side of things, you have this. Plus it gave us that amazing Key and Peele sketch.... #film #gremlins #keyandpeele

Screenshot October film watching statistics in the Watchlist app

32 Films in 31 days, 17 watched for the first time. A few that I will definitely revisit and only a couple of truly terrible ones. Statistically speaking, a success! 🎃🎬😬 #film #spooktober #31daysofmovies #thethingftw

Spooktober: Day 31: A good one to end on! Really impressed at how good this was on a low budget and was generally great to see a well made film. Looking forward to seeing what comes next from Ben Leonberg. 🎃🎬🐕 #film #spooktober #ghosts #ghostdog

Spooktober: Day 30: This was a fun one! An interesting take on a familiar subject although, humans should have learned by now that standing around in disbelief is never the best option.... 🎃🎬🧟‍♂️ #film #spooktober #zombies #ziam

Spooktober: Day 29: I love this film. I love how British it is and I'm a sucker for this werewolf design. Another one that deserves more credit. Also, I swear some of the score has Skyrim vibes.... 🎃🎬🐾 #film #spooktober #werewolves #dogsoldiers

Screenshot of Sleepy Hollow 1999 in the Watchlist app

Spooktober: Day 28: Another one with a fantastic cast. One of Tim Burton's best that feels like a Hammer Horror. Love it! 🎃🎬🪾 #film #spooktober #timburton #sleepyhollow

Screenshot of The Crow 1994 in the Watchlist app

Spooktober: Day 27: Another one that should have get more credit. Great music, great cast. Ernie Hudson is awesome plus Bonus Tony Todd! Never seen the sequels and I assume I don't need to.... 🎃🎬🐦‍⬛ #film #spooktober #thecrow #tonytoddagainyay

Screenshot of Candyman 1992 in the Watchlist app

Spooktober: Day 26: One of the greats! Tony Todd really was an amazing screen presence, this film should get more credit. And why is it so hard to find cross stitch patterns of Candyman!? 🎃🎬🐝 #film #spooktober #tonytodd #nopenotgonnasayit

Spooktober: Day 25: Disrupting the chronological order again. This is a fun one. Maybe not what everyone was after but I liked it a lot. 🎃🎬🐾 #film #spooktober #werewolves #maybe

Spooktober: Day 24: Urgh, everything about this movie is awful. Except Robert Vaughan; one star for him, one for a cool explosion. Also, was that Rich Hall!? 🎃🎬🧟‍♂️ #film #spooktober #CHUD #booooring

Spooktober: Day 23: This is a hidden gem! Fun and weird and creepy and interesting. Definitely worth a watch if you haven't seen it. 🎃🎬⌚ #film #spooktober #pin #hiddengem

Screenshot of The Lost Boys 1987 in the Watchlist app

Spooktober: Day 22: One of the best vampire movies ever featuring my first crush, Kiefer Sutherland. (Everyone looks fine in this mind) Great soundtrack, great characters.... Iconic! 🎃🎬🦇 #film #spooktober #lostboys #kiefer

Spooktober: Day 21: I forgot this was a John Carpenter film! The music is pretty good and at least it's better than Cujo.... 🎃🎬🚘 #film #spooktober #stephenking #johncarpenter

Spooktober: Day 20. First time seeing this. It seems to be a lot of irritating noise and several wildly different looking dogs. Props to the kid tho, he looks genuinely terrified! 🎃🎬🐕 #film #spooktober #stephenking #averygooeydog

Screenshot of House of the Long Shadows 1983 in the Watchlist app

Spooktober: Day 19. Hmmm This gets 4 stars for the 4 stars, who each got a few laughs out of me but I wish they'd all been in something better.... 🎃🎬🏰 #film #spooktober #vincentprice #cushingandlee

Spooktober: Day 18. This might be the greatest movie ever made. 🎃🎬🧊 #film #spooktober #thing #robbottin

Screenshot of The Howling 1981 in the Watchlist app

Spooktober: Day 17. Always a pleasure to revisit this one. Great cast and a lovely werewolf design. If anyone ever suggests you watch any of the sequels, politely decline.... 🎃🎬🐾 #film #spooktober #werewolves #howling

Spooktober: Day 16. I bloody love this film! So fun and well made. Very quotable as well. I watch this every year. 🎃🎬🎭 #film #spooktober #vincentprice #halloween

Spooktober: Day 15. This was fun! Another Cushing and Lee tale. This time, Peter Cushing gets the best line, when answering "What if one of you is the monster?" "Monster? We're British, you know." Telly Savalas is entertaining too. 🎃🎬🚂 #film #spooktober #Cushing&Lee #halloween

Screenshot of Wolf Man 2025 in the Watchlist app

Spooktober: Day 14.5. Squeezed another one in. I really liked the way they showed things from Blake's perspective but I'm old-fashioned when it comes to Werewolf films. I wanna see a big wolf haha 🎃🎬🐾 #film #spooktober #wolfman #halloween

Screenshot of C.H.U.D 1984 in the Watchlist app

Spooktober: Day 14. The chronological order has been abandoned for today and we jumped to the 80s. This was pretty fun! 🎃🎬☢️ #film #spooktober #CHUD #80s

Spooktober: Day 13. A cohesive plot, what's that!? At least some of the effects were good, I appreciate the effort involved.... 🎃🎬🛶 #film #spooktober #mariobava #italianslashers

Spooktober: Day 12. Vincent Price and Christopher Lee are great as usual, but there are several moments that would have benefited from a second take 🎃🎬⚰️ #film #spooktober #poe #vincentprice

Screenshot of Quatermass and The Pit 1967 in the Watchlist app

Spooktober: Day 11. This is pretty fun and I love the model work. I'm surprised that Quatermass hasn't been strip-mined for 'content'.... 🎃🎬🦗 #film #spooktober #quatermass #hobbsend

Screenshot of The Plague of Zombies 1966 in the Watchlist app

Spooktober: Day 10. Always a good one. The sound that zombie makes when he dumps Servalan down that slope is still scary as! 🎃🎬🧟‍♂️ #film #spooktober #zombies #hammerhorror

Screenshot of The Last Man on Earth 1964 in the Watchlist app

Spooktober: Day 9. This one didn't quite work for me but at least Vincent Price is in it. I'd watch him make toast.... 🎃🎬🦇 #film #spooktober #vincentprice

Screenshot of The Innocents 1961 in the Watchlist app

Spooktober: Day 8. Not sure what I was expecting but it wasn't that. Still, posh, pale children will always make something more creepy than it should be.... 🎃🎬🍿 #film #spooktober #creepy
