Why I Own 3,000 Horror Books and a Room I Have to Leave Behind (Pee-wee's Playhouse, 1986)

The Pee-wee's Playhouse shelf in my childhood bedroom is where my whole collection started — and this week I have to start saying goodbye to it. As I pack up to move 3,000 horror books from Louisiana to Minnesota, I'm living like it's 1986: reading books from 1986 and watching Pee-wee's Playhouse, packing up my Pee-wee collection, selling my first car, and standing in the childhood room that's the truest picture of who I am. 📦 This is Episode 3 of my moving series, and it's the origin story — why I collect, why Pee-wee means everything to me, and the goodbye that's hardest to film. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 Why my stuff is my tattoo 00:52 Living like it's 1986 (Pee-wee's Playhouse turns 40) 03:27 Packing Books & Fizzy the Cat 6:53 Packing Update, Saying Goodbye to My Car + More 19:30 Packing up Pee-wee Collection 23:21 New Orleans Food & Packing More Books 25:08 The childhood room that made me a collector 26:28 My dad, Pee-wee, and a 1981 HBO special I forgot about 34:03 What's coming in my 1996 themed week 📚 Book mentioned: The Bog by Michael Talbot (1986) 💻 Channel Mentioned: ‪@katsnoveladventures1863‬ Welcome fellow freaks, geeks, and nostalgic peeps: if you love horror books, 80s and 90s nostalgia, VHS-era vibes, and watching someone catalog way too many books — you're home here.
