    Expiration dates are usually the last day they promise the product is still good, not a hard and fast rule.
    If they haven't gone fuzzy or really squishy, strawberries are still good.
    Btw, if you have the room, you can spread them out on a metal tray in the freezer, then bag them up when they freeze.

    If your strawberries are about to go bad again (or any fruit/veg) just stick them in the freezer! You’ll save them that way, and they’re even better for making frozen drinks or smoothies.

    Gavin... I love you but as a Long Island native, it's pronounced Am-ih-tee-vil. And don't worry, locals consider the books/movies a cash grab too. I appreciate both films, but the true crime story attached to that property is more interesting (and sad). So too are the publication and production stories surrounding the book/movies and the paranormal investigations they inspired. There are some weird elements to both, for sure, but no one thinks the Amityville House is actually haunted and multiple owners since the 1970s have confirmed they've never had issues living there except for curiosity-seekers trying to peek through the windows. Since you love true crime and paranormal investigations I recommend engaging with that side of the story.
    That Psycho shower scene reenactment was *chef's kiss*!!! Very poetic that the first 3 stories referenced the ones you read/watched previously. As always, Ash and Tobu are adorable, and I love that they have a neighborhood kitty friend stopping by. 🥰

    I love the film Psycho! And it is interesting that the book starts with Norman Bates before it all. Cut off the scream and her head!! It's much more gory in the book and it is interesting to see that it happens so soon. I was more attached to her character in the books. Okay, so I kind of want to read pyscho now, also knowing it is short as well and an easy read. Cackling at your turning the head around the whole way edit hahaha. I love the film for the exorcist! I added the exorcist on to my tbr after first watching it... but it sounds like it might have too much clinical language in it and talk around whether she is possessed or not and I would get bored :/ Daphne du maurier is such a beautiful writer and I truly love her gothic stories. I haven't read the birds and that stories collection but I do want to read it myself as well. It sounds like the book gets right to it and sets the atmosphere immediately. And it is interesting that this time around the adaption is so different! This was such a fun vlog!

    I have to agree with you on your opinion of the books versus the movies. I grew up watching all four of these movies and loving them in varying degrees. I read "The Birds" and also watched it for Engilsh class back in either late middle school or early high school. The rest of the books, I didn't end up reading until I was an adult out on my own. So, it felt different and a tad underwhelming when reading the books versus watching the movies. Still didn't stop me from finding and owning an early published hardback as well as the 40th edition hardback of "The Exorcist".

    Can I just that shower scene was hilarious! I couldn't stop laughing. 😄
    I have seen all the movies and only read The Birds. The bad part for me is because I was raised on horror I will probably have seen the movie before I read the book, this is how it is with pretty much every Stephen King book or short story.
    Psycho--I love this movie and back when it premiered it was unheard of to kill off the main character right at the beginning. I think that's part of what scared people when watching it because it meant no one was safe. I am glad that the movie was pretty true to the book except I don't think they could do beheadings back then, I mean they used like corn syrup or whatever to make it look like blood in the shower because the movie was black and white.
    The Exorcist--It didn't scare me, but my mom and her two sisters went to see this in the theaters. Lot of hype on how scary that people left the theater, fainted or barfed. Of course my mom and her sisters just laughed when watching especially when Regan projectile vomited because it looked like split pea soup. Again, my family was raised on horror so this wasnt scary to them.
    Amityville Horror--Saw both movies, not that scary, but as for the book I think some of it is true and some of it was fabricated. I love Ed and Lorraine Warren, rest their souls, but I am not chancing to take a foot inside that house. That house is scary and ominous looking even during the day time, I'll take my chances at Winchester House. I really do think the house is haunted and , yes, a man really killed his entire family in that house, but I don't know about demons.
    The Birds--What I love is the difference between the story and the movie. Yes, definitely can see where inspiration was taken from the story especially finding that farmer guy. In the movie that was the scariest part was when the older woman found the farmer dead and they didna close up on his face. I was little when I saw this movie, which, it didn't scare me because I thought, well, it could happen because we're so mesn and cruel to animals and their environment I wouldn't blame them for attacking us. My mom is actually scared of this movie and only scared of birds when they're grouped together. I loved both in this situation.
    Just to note loved that you kept it in black and white. Can't wait for more! Truly appreciate it! Don't know if you're willing to read Edgar Allen Poe and then watch a lot of Vincent Price movies because he starred in a lot of Poe's adaptations. 😊🩷🩷🩷
