    Movie night! Watching a Philippine found footage horror movie called Strange Frequencies: Taiwan Killer Hospital. I’ve heard great things and it has gotten comparisons to the South Korean found footage horror movie Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum, which I love.

    This is hardly an original sentiment, but I truly love how horror fans will say, “That movie traumatized me. I see it in my nightmares. It holds an arcane power. Let’s rewatch it!” (Yes, I am rewatching GONJIAM: HAUNTED ASYLUM and absolutely dreading That Moment.)

    Last night I watched "Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum" with some friends. Probably the most scared I've been while watching a horror movie. But looking back it this morning, I think the story was okay and I don't know if any of the scares are that unique, but the way they built tension was so good.

    #PlotTober A little while ago, I rewatched series 3 of the Korean variety show The Zone, and one episode has our intrepid players discover the truth of a haunted location.
