Debra S. Apostol
her hands went up and down SEVERAL times! yes, spooky, surprised no one mentioned it!!!
Julie Nicholson
I just watched this yesterday and day before (I kept stopping either film or this so I could watch both - hadn't seen the film before). I have also been watching The Woman in White (BBC 2018) this week and noticed several similarities - 1. poisoning by tea, 2. setting in Cumberland, 3. man marrying woman and killing for her money. Hmmmm, think Wilkie Collins got there first!
Sage Nash
I’m rewatching this in august ❤️
Jorgie Marie
RIGHT!
Rosalie Langmod
I know I'm probably in the wrong Patreon group, but watching it while listening to the livestream was actually kind of helpful because I found the movie wicked-scary! I had to fast forward through the ghost scenes when I watched it with my husband after he fell asleep five minutes in. lol
Rachel
WHAT The Actual HELL!?! The DOLL...
little taosenx
THE DOLL WHAT IN THE CURSED VESSEL??? Haha, that was actually a really cool touch!
Gail J Marmet
No one mentioned the doll moving!!!!
Elizabeth
If you haven't read this already, I loved the audio version of Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia!
Hannah Stanley
Late to the party but for your butterfly cloche idea! I’ve made wings from painted tissue paper. I layered a few pieces with Elmers glue, let it harden, and then painted them with acrylic paint. I used about 8 pieces to make them sturdy enough to glue around my eye for a costume. Guessing 2-3 would be enough to not tear but still look delicate?
Bonnie Coniguliaro
May I ask where you got the angel Candle opera and how much
Bonnie Coniguliaro
I am also loving the lamp behind you it is absolutely beautiful!
Bonnie Coniguliaro
So I’m rewatching while I sit by my moms bed side here in the hospital (not well ) need to get my mind off of how ill she is. Anywho I was like omg the doll moved! Love it lol
Vi
Finally got to catch up on the streams. LOVE Crimson Peak, I’ve watched it so many times & Esmeralda reacting to her name is so fitting. I wanted to add about one comment you made though, I don’t think big lips are overrated! Some races (Asians, Africans) have naturally big lips and for a long time, we have not been considered as part of standard beauty. I think big lips, small lips, thin lips, lopsided lips are all beautiful lips! And there is no one standard of beauty and we are all beautiful.
Gabriel
I really enjoyed this livestream. It is always good to hear about your future plans for you phenomenal mansion home. You have inspired me get going on some projects in my 115 year old home. Thank you.
Cheryl Kirkpatrick
About your idea about making some glass dome cloche-there is something called Ethical Taxidermy I learned about it from Dita Von Tease and Voltaire on his show gothic homemaking- episode "Birds of a Feather"-there are also suppliers that sell ethically taxidermy on Etsy butterflies and moths two of the shops that have them are Art Butterflies and UCStudiosUK
Danielle Doll
Audio book recommendation :) Norse Mythology by Neil Gaimen, and it's read by the author
Karmell Mazurek
So hard to hear in this episode. I have my volume maxed out and I can barely hear you!
Jennifer Maya
Seriously, best prank ever with the doll’s arms…..hopefully it was a prank, lol. Freeeeaked me out. Had to go watch the end of the live stream a few times when the right arm went up and down and then up again😳😬👻
Felicia
Is the captive pranking us, moving the doll's arms? Second thought, don't say if so...haha
Felicia
I didn't get to watch this on the streaming day, but as I have the day off, Lady Agnes (my cat) and I are going to watch it.
Matty
Couldn’t join the live stream because I was busy. I had this movie saved in my watchlist specifically to watch with you. 😔 oh well, better late then never. Also, did anyone notice at about 12:30 in the livestream that the doll’s hands just dropped for no reason!! I just stopped the livestream to point that out because it scared f*** out of me!
Melissa
I love these ideas you come up with! I enjoyed the movie. First timer here! Never watched the movie before. Please keep recommending great movies!
Kitty Lang
Book suggestion The Lost Apothecary by Sarah Penner so good I read in 3 days !
Annalise
Yes I saw it!
Kerry A Barton-Richardson
awesome series I have them on audible
Celeste
AAAHHHHH yes I saw it too!
holly schumacher
Did anyone else see the little doll on the couch beside Christine raise its arms? Around the 11:45 mark of the live stream...am I crazy?
Sonya Colley
Probably strings or something, but more fun to pretend it's haunted 🙂
Christine McConnell
AGH! Congratulations!! How exciting, you have a brand new captive! :D
Kathleen
Crimson Peak is one of my fav comfort movies. I love love love that it's set partially in Buffalo, NY! I grew up nearish to there and have a big soft spot for that city. The architecture downtown is completely amazing and it's well worth the trip (when thats a thing that can be done again). Can't wait for the cake eps!
Pennie Yorke
I would almost swear that is my first wedding dress. lol
Mardi Shakti
Your costume reminded me how much fun I used to have at Dress-Up Parties; the pressure to perform was always a lot, but once I participated, I actually felt even *more* present, than if I'd turned up as myself. Like, you create a world, within the world. We're not on camera, BUT... "Costume-Party" Lives could be fun! Also, what is the time-stamp to press play on the movie? (To sync with the Live) In Australia, so I couldn't join Live. It's not on Netflix, but it is on Stan. 💙 1. This looks too scary for me 🙈 2. I think I *have* seen it before... 🤔 😱: It's Jax from Sons of Anarchy!
Diana Zeroth
Your doll's hand moves...that feaky.
Vicky Fox
Book suggestion. Heathcliff Lennox series by Karen Menuhin starting with Murder at Melrose Court book 1
Alexandra Conrad
I couldn’t join live because I was getting married at this time! I know, I know... how dare I prioritize my wedding over livestream night. Watching along with my new hubby (also an oddball) should make up for it!
Linda
Sorry...her
Linda
The doll behind you moved his arms....creepy
Diane Chattaway
Omg. I have been watching this (I thought live!) Hahaha. Didn't realize it was yesterday. My phone glitched and it restarted, so I found my way back, scrolled to the end and was like, wait - what? Then swore my time glitched. My movie was half over, how did I miss an entire hour in the time it took to restart my phone. Took me a hot minute to realize I was watching a replay! Haha. #longday #daylate but I enjoyed the rewatch.
Barbara Johnson
I have the book and the poster. I don't care that the roof was falling in !
Sara
OMG for real?? 😱 I thought maybe her husband was pulling a string behind the scenes or some other trick especially because she wasn't freaking out about it.
Sonya Colley
The doll is haunted 😉🤭
Jessica Darne
So fun!! Such a great movie! You seem to be a Guillermo Del Toro fan, he also did a favorite of mine-Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. That movie was fantastic and such a fulfillment of my childhood favorite books!
Ali May
I loved this so much! Felt like I wasn't on my own so thank you very much 💛 Can't wait for more of these livestreams in the future 😊 x
Claire
Also! A suggestion for a book: Anna Dressed in Blood. You will LOVE it.
Kerry A Barton-Richardson
I can't what for the next one, I just hope I done have to work, I want to be able to join in.
Kerry A Barton-Richardson
I have found that if are putting oil on your candles do that before what Christine did cause the wax gets hard before you get the candles anointed. I have found.
Kerry A Barton-Richardson
I just finished the movie and the episode wow on it. Thank you for doing it like this. It felt less scary having someone to watch with.
Vanessa Gonzalez
I couldn’t make it for the live but I’ve just now watched the episode with the movie playing in the background. Great episode! Crimson Peak is one of my favorite movies too. Looking forward to the upcoming projects!
Killian Kincaide
You inspired me about a month ago to make a bell jar with a spider and some moss with twinkle lights around it, it was an homage to your antique bird cage that you did in the past.
Elizabeth Goans
I'm so sad I missed it. Still awesome you did this.
Claire
Thank you so much for posting these after the fact for those of us who couldn't make it! I love watching you and find it relaxing just to have you on in the background while I putter around the house! <3
Julia
I would love a sew along!! It doesn't have to be live, maybe spread out over a few months?
Satine ♡
One of my favorite movie ! You were gorgeous in this gunne sax dress ! 🖤🖤
Sara
Can you please explain why Esmeralda's arms kept moving? I've never seen a doll do that before. What a fun movie night, I love Crimson Peak ❤
Mona Ann Clee
So much fun! Christine, don't forget about a Victorian lampshade episode, please please please!!!
Catherine Bilbrey
Just finished the Movie. I’ve loved Crimson Peak since it came out. I went to see it in theaters. None of my scaredy-cat friends would go with me. Just recently got one of those friends (who is less scared these days) to watch it. Kind of curious why the Dolls hands won’t stay down? Is there some kind of mechanism that raises them. I’m not a fan of dolls at all so I don’t know anything about antique dolls.
Tiana Coats
I didn’t make it live but I still had fun watching the replay. It was my first time watching this movie and everything was so well done.
Nicholas Frig
Also, my power went out due to a storm right about 5 minutes in, so I just now got to watch this.
Nicholas Frig
Trick r' Treat! It's the only movie I feel has ever truly captured that fun, spooky atmosphere of Halloween on film and I love every second of it! I watch it whenever the storms come in and a day cools off so I can pretend it is October.
Megan
This was pretty epic.
Alyne Whiteswan
I love Crimson Peak but I could do without the graphic prolonged murder of the father in the bathroom. Del Torro is so over the top with violence. I have to leave the room.
Alyne Whiteswan
Make butterflies with paper. I love your hair color. Its so rich and dark. Lovely as always!
Katherine
Ann Rule's "Everything she ever wanted" is a true crime book about a woman who poisoned people (I believe through sweet tea). There was a really good miniseries made based on this book too, with Gina Gershon starring, but the miniseries is very hard to find.
Sage Nash
I had such a great time! Christine, have you ever read A Rose for Emily? It was the first piece of gothic fiction I ever read
Melissa Stevenson
Thank you Helen! 🤗
Sonya Colley
So there was Chauncey, then Grannykins, now Esmerelda. If you start with one doll, they multiply, even if you don't collect them. Believe me, I have way too many dolls!
Jill Poudrette
You have to watch on youtube, I believe, to comment live... hope that helps for next time!
Ivy Bombshell
That was so much fun. I've never seen Trick'r'treat, so would very much be up for seeing that some time
Alyce
Best movie watching yet! I loved that you had the gothic theme going and everything was beautiful! Great conversation too - thanks Christine!
Jill Poudrette
That was soo much fun, thank you, Christine!!
Hanna Jäfverström

19th c French and English use Encaustic tiles which have designs during the Victorian period. I think also in the states also.
Nola Cleveland
Is it possible to for you to show us how to make our own lamp shade like you have? Beads and all
Denise Annette Henry
Ami on the conversation? Not sure first time here.

Denise Annette Henry

Denise Annette Henry

deanna shorts
I love all that you do! I can’t wait to implement it in our old home!
Lori Ratcliff
I developed an allergy to cats in my late 30s and it’s terrible. I love cats but I’m too miserable when I’m around them too long—even with medicine. My eyes get so itchy I want to claw them out of my face, and my nose runs like a faucet. So I have to admire them from afar. 😭
Denise Annette Henry
I love M.Coon's
Denise Annette Henry
Yay!
Lady Barronmore
I know you don’t read this during the live stream but I just want it on record that I think any child would be lucky to have you as their mother.
