Hey guys and welcome to the Moms a Murder podcast, a true crime podcast featuring myself, Mandy, and my dear friend Melissa.

Hi, Melissa.

Hi, Mandy.

How are you?

I'm doing great.

We are in spooky season.

And, you know, that's like my favorite.

So, yes, happy October. Happy October like my favorite. So yes, happy October.

Happy October to you all. I think I said October. Yeah, I did. I did a V in there. I am so

against spooky season and I can't deal with it that I refuse to even say its name.

I love it. I love it, though. It's been, we've had a few days here that actually have felt a

little like the season might be shifting and changing. I'm not getting too excited. I think it's going to get really hot again. But it's been so nice in the mornings. It's feeling like fall and it's perfect and it's October. And I'm happy. I love this time of year. This is one of my favorite times of year from now until the end of the year. Me too. So I'm very happy.

Yes.

Good.

And we're just a couple months away now from starting a fresh anew. Oh, gosh. Let's not. Oh, actually, let's push the needle forward a little bit. I'm ready to get into the next year. That's fine. We'll do that. That's good. I like yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I'm very excited about all of that. I'm going to have to take some time and sit down and watch some slasher films or something. I was thinking you were going to say Christmasy and I was like, that seems a little early, but I forgot that you would be watching the slasher films. Yeah. Well, I've been looking for new scary movies and thrillers and stuff, because I'm very picky.

Like, it has to be really good.

And I sometimes waste my time and watch, like, movies that I regret, especially scary ones.

If I'm going to watch a scary movie or like a horror movie, I really want it to be good because so many are so cheesy.

So, yeah, if anybody out there has any suggestions on great scary movies, I would love to hear them. Can I tell you the last scary movie I watched? And I don't know that you'll even consider it scary. Is it that one that you told me? Which one is it? I think you told me to watch this one and I think I started it. Is it the one?

Oh, that wasn't a scary movie. I thought it was going to be scary. That was, I'm thinking of ending things and I assumed it was going to be scary, but it was just so weird. It's on Netflix. If you haven't seen it, it's the guy who did Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and those things. it is so freaking weird and And I haven't recovered from it, but it's not scary. But I almost hoped it would be scary just so it would make sense. And it never made sense to me. No, the last scary movie I think I've watched is The Strangers. Oh, that one is scary. That movie messed me up, Mandy. That one is scary. I can't believe you made it through that one. That is a scary one. Well, I made it through by saying, turning my head and saying to my husband, please tell me when they get out of the house. So I don't know how much I saw. I did hear one time one of them saying, oh, why are you doing this? And I think they said, because you were home or something. And I was like, well, I'm never going to sleep again. It's terrible. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. One's like that are really like the kind that you feel like could actually happen. Those really freak me out a lot more. So that's kind of what I like more than just like a slasher movie where you're like, oh, this is really theatrical. I want to see that because I'm like, nobody's going to come at my house with a chainsaw. I, you know, there's not even an extension cord anywhere near here. I'm good. All right. So we are back after a week off. Melissa, welcome back. Hey, welcome back, Cotter. We're here. Yeah. Did you have a nice week off, Melissa?

I did.

I don't think I did anything, which means that it was a good week.
