Clawdeen And The Freaky Fabulous Fashion Show review.

My goodness, I forgot to review the rest of these!

Anyway, I liked the book. I loved reading about Clawdeen.

Like the other books before it, this takes place after Frights Camera Action (Brownie points)

The Wolf Family having a reunion which puts a lot of pressure on Clawdeen who's trying to balance family with her friends and hobbies. She admits in an entry early on that her family doesn't quite understand her commitment to her hobby & her friends and boy, oh boy did I feel that.

I literally have zero complaints about this book.

I do, however, wish these were longer. The story itself is 110 pages long. The rest of the pages are blank journal pages you can write in and a preview of Draculaura's diary but I understand why these are so short so it's okay.

Overall, I loved reading about Clawdeen and her life!

Movie Favorite

"My fourth favorite movie — I think every top five list has to have an Audrey Hepburn movie in it. Probably the greatest face of the 20th century, if not Sophia Loren and perhaps Monroe. Maybe Ingrid Bergman. But certainly she changed everything for the waif look, and the modern woman, and the non-buxom bosomy girl; and also always played smart. But this movie — I know I sound like a chorus boy here but, Funny Face is just… the choreography, the split-screen work, Kay Thompson, my God. Just try to stare at Audrey Hepburn dancing in her wedding attire and stepping onto a raft into an idyllic French stream with swans floating around. And perfect choreography and synchronization with the camera. And the swooping crane shots and the music. It’s just a wonderful, wonderful film. And smart and funny — and beatniks in Paris, and fashion, and color, and, yeah, I just really love the film. Ahead of it’s time."

Summer Camp Slasher

Part 2 set mainly in '78 largely serves to give a back story of how one of Shadyside's residents previously survived the curse of the Witch. So we get a Slasher film that follows the old Summer Camp setting that was popular back in the day.
While again it does very well to set the scene for '78 with the Fashion, Music to give it the right vibe for the era. It takes a little while to get to the Horror side of the film. It doesn't have the energy of the first installment or sense of urgency. Gore fans should be happy though and in terms of the story around the curse of the Witch this continues on well from the first film.
Overall a good second installment similar in style to the first and one horror fans will enjoy.
