There's a drought here in the UK. It's not really rained where I live for about a month. There's a hosepipe pan. My lawn looks like a desert wasteland. And last night I slept downstairs because it was just too hot to sleep up in my bedroom. Thanks climate change, you asshole. I mention the weather (as I usually do at the beginning of these things) because horror movies have nearly been as scarce as rainfall in July it feels like.
