Howdy y'all
It's been a while since the early days when I organized a couple of these and I'm so glad to be back. Nothing fancy here, just some things I want to explore and a demonstration of my morbid fascination with days of observance. Hope you all have fun!
CLUES:
(1) Let's give a shout out to last month's host Johnconn. Watch any horror film they've rated 4 stars or higher. letterboxd.com/johnconn/
(2) January 2nd. A Match Made in Heaven? On this day in 1971, Tabitha Spruce married Stephen King changing the history of horror forever! Without her, Carrie ends up in the trash! Watch a horror about a husband and wife OR a Stephen King adaptation.

(4) Horror is a genre often overlooked at the Oscars but some have made it through. Watch any horror film that has been nominated for any Oscar category in the history of the awards. Here is a list you can filter by horror: boxd.it/ADeMw
(5) January 5th is National Screenwriter's Day- find a horror that you really liked the script for and seek out another film by the same screenwriter.
(6) Winter Cleaning- Watch the most popular horror film on your watchlist.
(7) Genre-Bender: Watch a film that is tagged "horror" and tagged "western."
(8) Today is "Nationals Male Watchers Day"... whatever that means. For me it means you are all watching a film where a male character or villain stalks someone.
(9) Nasty habit! Watch a horror with a nun
(10) Strange New Worlds: Watch a horror film from a country you’ve never seen any movie from.
(11) Today is "National Girl Hugs Boy" day in America. Watch a film that is tagged both "horror" and "romance".

(14) Today is "Cesarean Section Day" in America. Watch a pregnancy horror!
(15) Today is "Wikipedia Day" in America, so in honor of those that seek out truth, watch a film that is tagged "horror" and "documentary." Documentaries about horror that are not tagged "horror" do NOT count.
(16) Today is "Book Publishers Day " in America. Watch a film that is an adaptation of a book or short story.
(17) I am an owner of 4 cats and have full blown toxoplasmosis. Watch a film with a cat in a significant role. Here is a list to help: boxd.it/1dBGE
(18) Today is "Thesaurus Day" in America. in honor of people that love seeking out special words, watch a film with a word in it that is at least 4 syllables.
(19) Today is "brew a potion" day in America. Watch a film with witches in it.
(20) Today is "Martin Luther King Jr. Day" in America. Watch a film that was made by or stars a black filmmaker or actor.
(21) Seen a lot already but lately I've been really into J-horror, so watch any film tagged "horror" where the primary language is Japanese.
(22) Math Time: Take your age, cut it in half and round down if your age is an odd number. Then watch a film from that many years ago. (e.g. I'm 45, that's 22 rounded down, so I need to watch a film from 2003 since this will take place in 2025)
(23) Easy Peasy: One of my favorite IPs is the Twilight Franchise (fuck off, it's great) so for this clue, you will watch any film with either a vampire or a werewolf AND one other type of monster.
(24) Today is "belly laugh day" in America. Watch any film tagged both "horror" and "comedy."
(25) Today is "National Fish Taco Day" in America, so we're eating fish as payback for all of their horror. In other words, watch a killer aquatic animal movie.
(26) Head pop: watch a horror movie where someone’s head explodes
(27) Spiders.... are awesome. In fact, my family takes care of a 14 year old pet tarantula named Fluffy. In honor of our beloved pet we are watching a spider horror.
(28) Today is "Data Privacy Day" in America so lets' say fuck you to the machines by watching some tech horror (anything where computers or tech are the villains).
