Progress: 14/31

IT’S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAAAAAR

31 horror films. 61 days (I’m gonna start in September so I have even a shred of hope of finishing on time this year.) LET’S FUCKING GOOOOO.

I’m keeping to my own personal rule for this year again too and only choosing movies that I haven’t seen yet. Which is a lot. So this wasn’t too hard to put together.

Once again as a disclaimer, you do not have to do the countries and decades that I choose. I just have them listed to make sure I meet the requirements.
