Patrick Williamson (6 KP) rated Mort in Books
Mar 29, 2018 (Updated Mar 29, 2018)
His best book IMO
An early ish Discworld book and the first to introduce Death.
Because of the vast number of Discworld books written there is a lot of crossover in the later books and a lot of folklore building. The actual stories sometimes suffer for this but not in Mort. It works as a standalone as well as part of the series.
I'm so glad and lucky to have a signed copy.
RIP Terry Pratchett.

Dork_knight74 (881 KP) rated Hereafter (2010) in Movies
Aug 8, 2018
This movie is on Netflix right now. It's not a fast paced movie. It touches on the death and the afterlife and its affect on three peoples' lives. Each in a different way. Turned out to be pretty good although it's not my usual kind of movie. The acting was done well and the story, though slow going, kept my interest. The ending was a little predictable but it didn't matter to the overall storytelling. Worth a watch!

Jessica Erdas (463 KP) rated State of Decay in Video Games
Jul 18, 2019
State of Decay is the zombie game you didn't know you needed. In order to survive, you must not only rescue survivors but also scavenge for materials such as lumber, food, ammo, and medicine. You go on a side missions to help your fellow survivor communities. The map is fairly large and will keep you fairly busy exploring. Be warned, if a character dies, their death is permanent and will affect the moral of the other survivors.

Mysterons
Captain blue
Francis Matthews
Probably my favourite of the Gerry Anderson puppet shows more than Thunderbirds it had everything aliens the mysterons and captain scarlet spectrum agent who was basically indestructible and then there's the drum beat before each scene for kids show it could be really dark what with death and resurrection each week but that was what the appeal of the show for me when I was growing up
AT (1676 KP) rated The Regrets in Books
Mar 3, 2020
The Regrets is an interesting, yet strange story about love, life, death, desire, certainty, and uncertainty. I thought it was going to be a straight-up love story between a ghost and a human, because I'd only skimmed the jacket synopsis, but it ended up being more complicated than that. It was a quick read. I'm not sure I'd nominate it for my book club to read, but it was an oddly interesting story, in its own right.
Matthew Krueger (10051 KP) rated The Babadook (2014) in Movies
Aug 6, 2019
A fairy tale
The babadook- is a very underrated horror movie. It is chilling, frighting, scary, horrorfying, terrorfying, suspenseful and overall a great horror movie.
The plot: A single mother, plagued by the violent death of her husband, battles with her son's fear of a monster lurking in the house, but soon discovers a sinister presence all around her.
I would really reccordmend this movie, because not only its scary but its spooky and so many other things.
