B Movies Blog

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping a Halloween edition of Lights, Camera, Albums into the ol’ VCR. 

If this is your first Lights, Camera, Albums, greetings and salutations! 

We’re so happy to have you here, but we have some explaining to do for this one. 

Traditionally, I pair each song from an album with a movie and explain my reasoning. 

Sometimes, it makes sense, and, sometimes, you have to squint your eyes, tilt your head to the side, and say, “Oh yeah…,” with little conviction. 

However, I’ve decided to shake things up a little bit for the Halloween edition of Lights, Camera, Albums. 

Instead of pairing each song with one movie, I’m going to give you three to five movie recommendations based on each song. 

Some of these pairings are based on vibes alone because some of the tracks don’t have lyrics. 

I’d say to just trust me and the method behind my madness, but, uh, that wouldn’t be different from any other version of Lights, Camera, Albums. 

Additionally, we’re going with TURN OFF THE LIGHT, not TURN OFF THE LIGHT, VOL. 1, so that we have even more tracks to cover. 

The last thing I want to mention is that, as always, be sure to check the CWs/TWs for these movies. All of the ones in this list are horror movies, so they have the traditional gore and splatter, but please research them before watching, or ask a trusted friend to watch them for you first. 

Alrighty, that should do us for disclaimers and introductions. 
Without further ado, I present to you Lights, Camera, Albums: Kim Petras’s TURN OFF THE LIGHT.
