We’re finally getting to the months where I love to watch films. I’m not much of a film person normally but when I can get cosy on the sofa with a blanket, I love watching films. I’m also a big nostalgia watcher in the colder months as a lot of my favourite films are seasonal.
I’m really looking forward to snuggling up on the sofa with my boyfriend and my puppy when it starts getting colder.
Goosebumps
I said I was going to watch this last year but I never got around to it. I have no idea how scary this will be or if it’s anything like the books, but I definitely still want to watch it. The books were some of my favourites as a kid as I’ve always been into horror and spooky things.
Will this be good? Potentially not. I did like the film that came out a few years ago and that wasn’t really great, but it’s the nostalgia that makes these types of things such great watches to me.
Synopsis: A group of five high schoolers embark on a shadowy and twisted journey to investigate the tragic passing three decades earlier of a teen named Harold Biddle, while also unearthing dark secrets from their parents’ past.
Halloweentown – all films
This is a tradition that I’ve been doing since I was quite young. I’m of the generation that would sit and wait for these films to be playing on Disney Channel every year, so I now keep up that tradition by watching them on Disney+. Although, last year, the Disney Channel YouTube channel was playing them on loop for the majority of October so that’s how I watched them. I remember watching Return to Halloweentown on my birthday.
It’s crazy to think the first film is literally a day younger than me. It came out the day after I was born.
Synopsis: Marnie, Dylan, and Sophie Piper have their first out of many adventures! On Halloween, while Marnie is arguing with her mother Gwen, the kids’ grandmother Aggie comes to visit. Aggie wants to start Marnie’s witch training before her 13th birthday or Marnie will lose her powers forever. But there is another reason for Aggie’s visit. Something dark and evil is growing in Halloweentown and Aggie wants help to defeat it. While Aggie and Gwen are arguing, Aggie uses magic which Marnie observes. After Aggie leaves to return to Halloweentown, Marnie, Dylan and, unknown to Marnie and Dylan, Sophie follow her onto the return bus. Soon afterwards, Gwen follows the children to Halloweentown. While there, Aggie and Gwen are attacked by the dark force in a movie theatre. Marnie, Dylan and Sophie race to get the ingredients to activate Merlin’s Wand to stop the evil.
Heartstopper season three
This is one of my most anticipated releases of the month. We all know by now just how much I love Heartstopper and I’m honestly not ready for this season. If you’ve read the graphic novels, you know just how serious this season is about to get, but I know they will do it justice. I’m so excited.
Synopsis: The story of two British teens, Nick Nelson and Charlie Spring, at an all-boys grammar school. Charlie, a high-strung, openly gay overthinker, and Nick, a cheerful, soft-hearted rugby player, one day are made to sit together in class. Their friendship quickly becomes something more for openly gay Charlie, but he initially does not believe he has a chance with Nick, but love works in surprising ways, with Nick more interested in Charlie than either of them realized. Heartstopper is about love, friendship, and loyalty. It encompasses all the small stories of Nick and Charlie’s lives that together make something larger.
The Legend of Vox Machina season three
I’m also not ready for what’s about to happen in this season. I won’t give any spoilers, but if you know, you know.
Also, fun fact: if you want to watch the first two seasons of this show for free, you can do so on YouTube. Prime Video have uploaded all episodes to their channel, which is pretty cool. I’d highly recommend checking it out if you haven’t already.
Synopsis: After saving the realm from evil and destruction at the hands of the most terrifying power couple in Exandria, Vox Machina is faced with saving the world once again-this time, from a sinister group of dragons known as the Chroma Conclave.
