Failed the last 2 years of trying this but I’m feeling more optimistic and organized for this attempt. My list is designed to include films being shown at my local rep theater, a few I can watch with my monster-loving children, a hefty amount of horror that is new to me, and some great stuff I’ve been wanting to revisit. I will type words about each film. I will change some of my entry’s as the season goes along. I will succeed, even if it means pressing play with that sick feeling inside.
🫡 Cinemonster for giving me another way to enjoy my favorite time of the year.
