First time participating! I really enjoyed putting my list together. The only additional criteria I based my selections on: unwatched and streamable! I plan to rank and reorder the films as I watch them.

Putting together this list had me thinking about representation in the horror genre. I'd love to do this again next year and would make an effort to include more black horror, more films directed by women, and film(s) directed or written by trans and nonbinary people. I'll now be continuously digging for more diverse horror to add to my watchlist!!
