7 Comfort Films
@creativefiend19 tagged me in this one and I thought why the fuck not let myself be perceived for a little while. These are very much not in order.
1. Lost Boys
Ohh boy, if I could bottle this film and drink it I would. The vibes are immaculate, the eighties nostalgia, the casual horror setting, the small coastal town. It’s the perfect mix of gothic and classic at the same time.
2. Star Wars: The Last Jedi
I have a lot of good memories associated with this one and I put it on pretty often when I need to decompress. There’s nothing particularly special about it other than getting to witness the connection between Rey and Ben but I’ve got really calming and comforting associations with it.
3. Twilight: New Moon
Really putting myself on blast here but I was in love with Twilight when I was younger and have been adoring the renaissance. I didn’t really have any friends in middle school so I would genuinely come home every single night and just watch Twilight as a comfort media. New Moon remains one of my favourites and calms me almost immediately but this whole series could really go on the list.
4. Gone Girl
I have no good reason I just love, love, love this film. Which is funny because I hated it the first time I watched it but I genuinely think I hated how clever it was. This is one of those films I've seen a thousand times and I will throw it on randomly often. Also, read the book, it makes the movie 20 times better honestly.
5. Dark Crystal
This movie is beautiful and I love it eternally. My mother has loved showing me old 80′s films and this one along with Twilight was a massive comfort to me in middle school. I could also have put Labyrinth on this list but I wanted to limit it to just one Jim Henson film. Also, the new series was stunning and I’m gutted it was cancelled.
6. Silence of the Lambs
Yes, yes I am that girl who is obsessed with serial killers but blame my mother. I’m constantly in awe of this movie and I just keep watching it when I feel like actually paying attention to the film in front of me, I keep noticing new things. And also young Jodie Foster is goals.
7. Pretty in Pink
I based my entire personality of Andie if I’m being perfectly honest. This movie makes me very sad but also very warm at the same time, a stunning classic and go to watch for me.
So in short, it’s all eighties movies, angry women, and no shortage of un healthy romance. Tagging anyone whose interested because honestly this reminded me of some of my favourite cinema.

Kate Bush in 1985.
Fun facts about Kate:
Topped the UK Singles chart at 19 with her first hit "Wuthering Heights" in 1978.
She has an asteroid (27052 Katebush) named after her.
Sang with Peter Gabriel on his 1986 song "Don't Give Up." Other famous rock musicians like David Gilmour, Pete Townshend, Midge Ure, Mick Karn and Prince have played with her before.
Put the Lair of Voltaire make up to some good use for this years Halloween party for a little eighties throwback. Except there was no hairspray involved. Just super glue. That's hair gel from Schwarzkopf, the same that make the hair dye I used. Love the results of both. Recommend.
For next time Robert needs out I'm definitely going to have to get the Bloodbath Red lipstick. Also, getting ideas for going to see Vision Video next week, like maybe a Robert Smith/Voltaire mashup. Ain't nobody going naked faced to see Vision Video. 😝
Speaking of... OH MY GOTH! SOMEBODY'S FAAAABULOUS!! 😁

Let's start the new year right. Let's all be princesses.
