An absolute classic in the horror genre
I read this as a 10-year-old and had to sleep with the lights on for a while! Stephen King's IT is an absolute classic in literary horror, which as a genre, is no mean feat to achieve.

It involves a group of old friends who are haunted by a nameless malice encountered in their childhoods. They are subsequently confronted again with this horror after the death of one of their friends as adults.

The main moral of this story is about facing demons in order to overcome fear. Looking forward to watching the new movie version of this book and hear the words "We all float down here" once again.

It's the end, but the moment has been prepared for. Avengers: Endgame (2019) Review
“Avengers: Endgame” does everything it needed to do, and then some. It does some of the things you expected it to do, but perhaps not in quite the way you expected. You may be expecting an action-packed adventure across time and space as the heroes desperately seek redemption after their first real defeat but what you may not be expecting is how much of a character-driven victory lap the Russos and writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely have managed to weave organically into the story to propel us to the MCU’s most potent and emotive finale to date...

Don't go outside
After a storm hits a small town, a small family sets out to collect items to start repairs. Whilst out a huge mysterious mist descends on the store causing mass panic.
Not knowing what the cause is or what may come next, fear strikes hard as a large number of creatures begins to attack the store and the people trapped inside.
With no clear view outside, no sign of help or the mist clearing, they must try and escape before the creatures get in or they kill each other.
With some solid acting and a twist that continues to shock audiences today, The Mist is a movie for all Stephen king fans.

Starring Tom Jane

Ok scary tales film
I missed this at the cinema and caught on Amazon prime last night. I thought it was going to be an anthology of scary stories. It's more of a few mini tales set within the main plot of the whole film. I enjoyed it and at times it felt a bit like @Creepshow (1982) or @Trick 'r Treat (2007) The overall feel of the film was similar to a Stephen King short story. Only downside it isn't that scary, maybe why it got a PG-13 rating in the US. If you like ghost stories check it out but it won't give you sleepless nights.
