Progress: 42/52

Barely finished last year's despite starting in September. Going to actually start in January this year, and I'm looking forward to quite a few of these. I had to include a couple of rewatches last year but this year will be all first watches. Original challenge can be found here.

Greetings, Fright Fans! Welcome back or welcome for the first time as we launch our fourth viewing challenge from The Podcast Macabre.

This challenge will be a year long challenge with the leisurely pace of one film a week, 52 films for the year. First time watches are always strongly encouraged but not required. Make your own list of 52 films based on the criteria below, and please give us the link so we all can see!
