A lot has happened since last year: moved, getting ready to take a two week work-ready course that should allow me to land a better job, left my longtime menial job that paid the bills but not much more. It's time to dive back into the wonderful, frightening world of horror.
Hopefully this year, I can reach a new high (10 in 2023!)
Anyway, the rules:
This runs from September 15-October 31 (by which my Dairy Queen in the old town would shut down until March 1).
31 films to fit the various categories (you can double or triple dip if you can manage it)
