It's the best time of year again! This year has been up and down and I find myself unemployed for the first half of Hooptober this year. Luckily, I've got horror to keep me busy!
The list this time really shaped up nicely. As always, these are 100% first time watches for me. I decided to use the decades as a way to cover some films I own that I haven't watched yet. Along with that, I am challenging myself with a couple of movies that have been long on my watch list, but I have been too scared to watch (The Descent, The Sadness).

It's the best time of year again! This year has been up and down and I find myself unemployed for the first half of Hooptober this year. Luckily, I've got horror to keep me busy!
The list this time really shaped up nicely. As always, these are 100% first time watches for me. I decided to use the decades as a way to cover some films I own that I haven't watched yet. Along with that, I am challenging myself with a couple of movies that have been long on my watch list, but I have been too scared to watch (The Descent, The Sadness). I'm also finally checking off some heavy hitters like my first Hellraiser film and my first Takashi Miike film! And of course being able to watch my favourite horror soap opera franchise Saw makes me incredibly happy.
Happy watching everyone!
