🎃 Slumber Party Massacre III ★
Why? Why did I watch this? I think I’ve learned my lesson. And I think it’s going to be really, really hard to hit 31 new-movie watches next Halloween. Unless I hold off on horror until next year or I dig up dreck like this. Neither is a very appealing option.

SUFFER

HAIKUINGLY,
Haikus by Smith & db
On July 17, 2009, Smith ended his email to db with a haiku. A week later, Smith’s valediction ended with “-ing-ly,” beginning a tradition between the two friends that lasted three years.
