Ghostface. Fitting it’s my fav horror franchise.

Candyman is a good pick. Better than the time I got ‘toilet brush’. Still bitter.

Candyman
Jaws! “Plot twist! Jaws IS a slasher film and much like the killer shark here, you’re hard to pin down, love to eat, and belong in the sea.”
Feeling seen in so many ways
My favorite time of the year though I deeply dislike horror so this tracks ☺️
