Oh My Horror challenge created by Whitney Lynn.
52 Weeks. 52 Themes. 52 Horror Movies
My first time attempting a challenge. I was late finding this (May 2nd), but I’ll try to catch up on missed prompts if possible. I also want to attempt new-to-me watches only. No rewatches unless I’m really stuck with lack of availability (not steaming for free or on any of my subscriptions).
If a title I’ve picked turns out to be a DNF, I’ll add it to the list but won’t consider the prompt fulfilled until I find one I can finish.
My DNF and Finished reviews will be linked in the Notes (visible in List View).
