#ThreeListThursday #TLT @dabbe

To continue with all things spooky this month, how about sharing your three favorite scary movies? You can comment below or create your own post. I'll share our results next week. If you want to give some sort of scare-o-meter, go for it! All are welcome to play. Let's have some much-needed fun! Tagging a few to get this party going! 🧡💜🧡

Tamra I will mention one that gave me nightmares throughout my childhood, that is Wizard of Oz. Not the flying monkeys, no, it was the witch‘s legs with those striped socks sticking out from under the house! 😵 3d
Karisa 🦋 Silence of the Lambs, 🦈 Jaws, ♥️ Handmaid‘s Tale (streaming) 3d
ImperfectCJ Current faves are Rosemary's Baby, Nope, and Sinners. As a teen/young adult, it was probably Poltergeist, the 1992 Candyman, and still Rosemary's Baby. My parents were big horror movie appreciators with no limits on what us kids could watch, so I've been watching horror movies for as long as I can remember (the first movie I remember seeing is The Amityville Horror). 3d

Billypar I'm a huge horror fan, and my three favorites could be different on any given day. But today, I'll say The Thing, Poltergeist, and Ouija: Origin of Evil. 3d
KT1432 Joshua (creepy kids/bad seed movies are my jam), The Purge, Sleepy Hollow, honorable mention to Gremlins for the comedy 😆 3d
LeahBergen The Woman in Black, A Stir of Echoes and The Others. Creepy! 😬 3d
willaful I don't watch many, but my favorites are “Get Out,“ “Phantom of the Paradise“ and “Carrie.“ 3d
Dilara I am a sensitive soul who doesn't do horror movies. I had to watch Tesis by Alejandro Amenábar in Spanish class. Walking in the university's deserted corridors afterwards was a bit of an ordeal... It definitely doesn't count as a favourite movie!
Looking at other people's answers reminded me that I did watch Get Out out of my own free will and like it. So, that's one 😊
(edited) 3d
Dilara On the spooky side, my daughter went through a Casper the Friendly Ghost phase: we had the VHS of the 1995 film and we watched it together countless times. I don't know whether it stands the test of time though!
3d
AnnCrystal 👏🏼🤩 So many grand movies mentioned here! 🤔 I'm going to create a post for this one! Thank You for the Tag 👏🏼🥳👌🏼👻🎬💝. 3d
Bookwormjillk Let‘s see. The Shining, Jaws, and What Lies Beneath are the three that come to mind. I remember seeing What Lies Beneath at the movie theater and people were pacing up and down the aisle we were all so tense. 3d
LiseWorks The scream movies 3d
kspenmoll I am tooo scared to watch horror movies-the visuals haunt me forever! I will say Wizard of Oz when I was young- that wicked witch etc! 3d
Suet624 No scary ones for me. The Exorcist was the last scary movie and that was in a movie theatre in full gory detail. 3d
Cuilin Oh gosh I don‘t do scary. The Blair Witch frightened the beejus out of me. I probably should not have watched it postpartum. I guess that‘s on me. 😆 3d
dabbe @Tamra That was so traumatizing as a kid! Have you seen the bookmark for it? https://www.etsy.com/listing/1862041291/wicked-witch-legs-bookmark-wizard-of-oz?...
Thanks for sharing. 🍿🖤📽️

dabbe @Karisa Excellent choices! Thanks for sharing. 🍿🖤📽️ 3d
dabbe @ImperfectCJ I just read ROSEMARY'S BABY last year, and I loved it. I've never watched the movie, though. On the TBW list! Thanks for sharing. 🍿🖤📽️ 3d

dabbe @KT1432 I forgot about GREMLINS! A horror movie where you laugh: how ingenious! Thanks for sharing. 🍿🖤📽️ 3d
dabbe @LeahBergen THE OTHERS is a fave. Totally surprise ending on that one! Thanks for sharing. 🍿🖤📽️ 3d
dabbe @willaful I just watched GET OUT last year. W😱WZA! Thanks for sharing. 🍿🖤📽️ 3d

dabbe @Dilara Kudos for watching that one. It scare the heck out of me! Do you do ghost stories? There are ones that are much tamer and not gory. Thanks for sharing. 🍿🖤📽️ 3d
dabbe @Dilara I should have read further. CASPER is perfect! Thanks for sharing. 🍿🖤📽️ 3d
dabbe @AnnCrystal #yahoo! 🍿🖤📽️ 3d
dabbe @AnnCrystal #yahoo! 🍿🖤📽️ 3d
dabbe @Bookwormjillk Oh, lordy, WHAT LIES BENEATH was terrifying! To see Harrison Ford play evil was just crazy! Thanks for sharing. 🍿🖤📽️ 3d
dabbe @LiseWorks The first one always does it for me. #classic Thanks for sharing. 🍿🖤📽️ 3d
dabbe @kspenmoll The monkeys are what almost threw me off the ledge! Thanks for sharing. 🍿🖤📽️ 3d
dabbe @kspenmoll The monkeys are what almost threw me off the ledge! Thanks for sharing. 🍿🖤📽️ 3d
dabbe @Suet624 I've read THE EXORCIST but never had the courage to actually watch the movie! The books was easier to handle, I think. Thanks for sharing. 🍿🖤📽️ 3d
dabbe @Cuilin OMG, that movie! I got physically ill when I got home after seeing that one. All the jagged camera movements gave me a severe case of vertigo. 😱 Thanks for sharing. 🍿🖤📽️ 3d
Tamra @dabbe omg, no! That is hilarious. I think I might need to get it. 😂 3d
LiseWorks @Suet624 I was 14 when I read the book, couldn't sleep for weeks 3d
dabbe @Tamra 😂😍😂 3d
ImperfectCJ @LeahBergen The Others is awesome, and I'd forgotten about Stir of Echoes! 3d
LeahBergen @ImperfectCJ I might need to watch them again 😆 3d
CindyMyLifeIsLit The Grudge REALLY scared me! I couldn‘t sleep without a night light for two weeks! 😂Another really scary one is Hell House LLC. If IT didn‘t ruin clowns for you, this one will! The Haunting of Hill House (series) is also scary, I thought. (Midnight Mass is great, too—both created by the inimitable Mike Flanagan)! 2d
dabbe @CindyMyLifeIsLit Never saw these. One the TBW list! Thanks for sharing. 📽️🖤🍿 2d

#ThreeListThursday #TLT @dabbe
We're on to list 7, STILL from the 1900s! I'm getting worse, not better! 😅
1. Survey link: https://www.listchallenges.com/1001-books-you-must-read-before-you-die-list7
2. Share your score if you'd like.
3. Share your 3 favorites from the list or 3 that you might be interested in reading, or 3 you thought were horrible or a combo of whatever you'd like.
4. Tag if you want.

EVERYONE is tagged; ALL are welcome. 🤗 ⬇️

dabbe I've debated as to whether or not I should ditch this list because it is so DEPRESSING for quite a few of us; on the other hand, I'm not a quitter. I think we have about 3 lists to go, so I'll see 'er through to the end. I'm not tagging anyone because I don't want to torture anybody intentionally, and I don't want anyone to feel bad! To make everyone feel better, my score this week was the LOWEST ever, a whopping 5. 🤣😭🤣 #playatyourownrisk 4mo
CogsOfEncouragement I came in at 6 because I counted The Summer Book by Tove Jansson which I am currently reading. Also: Hitchhiker‘s Guide, Slaughterhouse-Five, Play It as It Lays, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, and The Bluest Eye. (edited) 4mo
AnnCrystal 👏🏼👀 I'm still hiding 🥸👍🏼😂📚💝...thank you 🤫. 4mo

#ShardlakeSeriesBR #ShardlakeBR @LitsyEvents

REBOOT! Based on the fact that we're all a bit behind and because of the holidays, I moved everything back a month. Above is the revised schedule.

Next discussion date will be for the 1st half of REVELATION, chapters 1-24, on 1/31/25. Hopefully, that gives us all a little more breathing room. I'm really enjoying this one and hope you are, too! 🤩

Deblovestoread Breathing a sigh of relief 😮‍💨 Thanks, Denise! 🩵 9mo

#WeeklyForecast

I will continue with buddy reads; The Dark Fire #ShardlakeBR and The Hound of Baskervilles #NoPlaceLikeHolmes

I‘ve just started Enlightenment and I‘ll see how that goes since I don‘t have the best track record with Sarah Perry

Afterwards I want to get to The Good of the Woods

Both library books are due back on Friday so we‘ll see how it goes

dabbe #yahoo! Oh, I hope you love THE GOD OF THE WOODS as much as I did. It's incredible! 🧡🩶🧡 13mo

Ok #hashtagbrigade make sure you‘ve got your copy ready, we will be reading a chapter a day in August! My copy has 35 chapters so we will run over into September just a little! Don‘t forget to tag me when you start reading so I can see your book covers! This should be a good one!

Librarybelle Yay!! Looking forward to it! 1y
CatLass007 Ruth is currently available for free on Audible. Yay! I just checked and it has 36 chapters. I find that a little unusual but at least it‘s not a difference of several chapters. It‘ll work. 1y

@TheLudicReader

Leave it to you, Christie, to notice my chagrin at having never read this book and to alleviate it! What an incredibly thoughtful gift. And the Canadian Antiques Roadshow! #yahoo! Please tell me you're in it, too! I can't wait to read and watch! I also have a LONG response to pen soon! To say I'm grateful to have found you through #LL is the understatement of the year. Thank you, and happiest of holidays, dear friend. 💙❄️💙

TheLudicReader Haha. I am not in it…although you may see me wandering through the shot. You will definitely see my name in the credits (as McDonald) and I wrote the liner notes. Saint John is also the first show ever, so you will see a little of my home town, too. Enjoy. And Merry Christmas! 😘😘 2y
rubyslippersreads I‘m jealous of you getting to read AOGG for the first time. 😊 2y
