Continuing with my Halloween month, and I did a few seasonal things today that I definitely think I can count as Halloween celebrations.
The Final Girl Support Group by Grady Hendrix
My tram reading this week is Grady Hendrix's
The Final Girl Support Group. I didn't have a massive distance to travel today, so I only read the first three chapters (I
love the chapter numbering so far, by the way). Let's see how this one works out...
Dead of Night
This week, we're doing horror cinema with the second year students. Today's film was one of my all-time favourites - the 1945 anthology horror film,
Dead of Night. I had a really lively and fun seminar with my students this afternoon. I don't have any Hugo Fitch earrings so I accessorized my teaching with my new Billy the Puppet earrings from
idlehandsx on Etsy.
Pumpkin Spice Latte
This seems to be the go-to drink for Halloween month, so I thought I should give it a try. I had my first ever pumpkin spice latte today! Not gonna lie, I'm pretty sure it'll be my last pumpkin spice latte as well. That is not a nice drink at all.
Today's Story
Today's story was 'An Episode of the Terror' by Honoré de Balzac. Earnest, but suspenseful, but more political commentary than straightforward horror.
Today's Tea
Today's tea was Spiced Winter Red Tea from
teapigs. Technically, I think it's one of their Christmas teas... but I just thought the snowman was kinda creepy.
