      Actually more people commenting on a post makes it show up more, so you’re doing your part.

      Hey, what’s your favourite sports team?

            I actually haven’t gotten around watching the newer ones but they are on my list. Actually I might do a marathon now that I think about it.

              Wife and I did a Scream marathon a while back, really fun time. The movies all sort of tie into each other as well so that’s fun. Our Halloween movie marathon was fun for different reasons, lol, and much more of a slog. 13 films vs 6 and a much different philosophy for sequels.

          That’s awesome. Do you like to watch these films with the lights off, late at night and shit? Do you invite friends over to get creeped out together?

            I mostly watch them by myself but I have gotten my wife into some of the tamer stuff. And I watch them basically whenever. I don’t have many irl friends but at the beginning of the pandemic I did join a discord server that was pretty actively watching movies. I actually joined the nexbear crew when they watched The Host and Train to Busan a few weeks ago. And I’m pretty much down for any subgenre. From crappy b-horror all the way to gore golore stuff lol.

              That’s cool. My gf is really into horror films. Personally they weren’t my thing, but the feeling of being terrified together, and grabbing onto each other in fear, is kinda cool.

              The hexbear movie thing is so rad. I’m glad we do it.
