to fully wake up and realize I was attacking my scarfs hanging on the back of my door (which I mistook for a figure). I was physically shaking afterwards and it took me forever to calm down.

I’ve had full body reactions to dreams like this, but it’s only ever happened twice before. So weird.

I had the craziest nightmare last night. I don’t remember the dream.

But I half woke up, saw a person shape by my door, threw off my blankets with a guttural, terrified scream, and started physically attacking them with my top sheet. It took about 3-4 hits (full screaming) for me…

Absolutely! I loved Unpacking and I totally dig the way Tabitha provides a similar kind of object-based storytelling, while also blending in memoir. It's way up my alley.

Hi! Since it's #WomenInHorrorMonth, I updated my list of horror movies directed by women. I'm sure there's still a bunch I missed, but the list has 385 movies, from 1913 to the present. So, plenty to choose from. letterboxd.com/andreablythe...

I haven't tried it yet. It's my first playthrough. I've been playing on Easy mode, but am thinking about upping the difficulty, because I'm rather comfortable with the controls at this point and am open to more of a challenge.

Oh, that's a bummer. Thanks for letting me know.
