Beans gets spooky horror picks, plus the good Avatar

Ahoy hoy! So I do need to catch up on my spook content levels, so I'm going to lay down two of my all time favourite "horror" films. I think my choices here deviate a little outside of the Friday the 13th contenders that make everyone's shortlist. What We Do In The Shadows is an absolute delight, a dark and twisted interview with vampires. But the gentle touch from Taika Waititi makes it funny as hell if that's your cup of tea. Cabin in the Woods is fantastic as well, the most horror tropes and cliches in one film, but man does it work. This love letter to the genre is tight, and hits all the marks with humour, gore, jump-scares, b grade horror nudity, horror monsters and more. 

I recently got through to my wife to sit down and watch Avatar the Last Air Bender, and obviously she loves it. But this is my umpteenth watch through, so I'm looking at it a little more closely. Fuck do I love this show, and it ages like George Clooney, animation still looking sharp now. The story goes from lighthearted adventuring to looming battles, genocides and subtle subtexts throughout. It's always great, check it out, and absolutely as always R.I.P. Mako 

See ya next time
