If You Love Scary Movies, You NEED To Watch 'The Autopsy Of Jane Doe' Before Halloween

If you're a person who can't do scary movies or would much rather prefer a comedy, don't worry - this movie is the perfect introduction to the world of horror.

WARNING: if you are squeamish in any way or fear the sight of surgery, this film might not be for you as the whole movie is centered around Jane Doe's autopsy.

Essentially, a mysterious body is found at the scene of a gruesome, multiple-person homicide. Located in the basement of the house where the murders took place, the dead body is identified as a young woman who appears to have died just recently. But there are no signs of decay even though her death is dated to be HUNDREDS of YEARS ago.

The body is taken by the sheriff to Austin Tilden and his father Tommy, who are the local autopsy doctors in town. While trying to pinpoint the mysteries of "Jane Doe", Austin and his father start experiencing strange paranormal happenings the further and further they dive into her body.

Directed by André Øvredal, this 2016 independent film will entice you and leave you at the mercy of the screen to find out what happened to Jane Doe.

Sounds pretty interesting, right? As someone who has seen a lot of classic horror films and is always yelling at the characters on screen to run the other way, to not go into the scary basement, or to STICK TOGETHER, I will tell you that I was completely surprised by the logic the main characters possessed.

However, despite the main characters listening to their instincts and getting the HELL out of there when paranormal stuff becomes apparent (not a spoiler I promise!), I question that even though you may rationalize and make better choices in those situations ... are you still safe from the unknown?

Additionally, this film does its scary scenes very well, but what I love the most are the interactions between the characters and the slow but fascinating advancement of the plot. It pulls you in and leaves you begging to find the truth.

I urge you to give this underrated film a try and see for yourself if it is unlike any horror/thriller you have ever seen. It can be found on Netflix to stream!

Happy Pre-Spooky Season!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
