Triple OG
In the great pantheon of horror cinema, I've come to terms with something. There are a lot of horror films I don't care about. So, when it comes to what I actually want to see (that I haven't already), it's not a fucking Quiet Place or Annabelle or Jumanji movie. It's an obscure thing with Chow Yun Fat or another Vincent Price gem. It isn't what's easily accessible to audiences that think horror is a guy in white sheets yelling "boo" every 5-10 minutes.

I should probably step off my high horse sat atop a soap box, though. In the past couple of years, I watched through all the Friday the 13th movies I hadn't seen yet. And I liked more of them than I care to admit. I guess I'm saying that I enjoy my own respective slop.
But, enough grandiose statements. This is really about gettin spooky motherfucker. No one's reading this shit. Hell, I couldn't even speak on how many people read the main guy's description. I decided to follow what I feel like, axe what I don't, and once Hallow's Eve comes and goes, remove what I didn't get to.
I've been a busy boy with more big boy goals in mind. I interned for Disney over the summer and I'm back in school for the fall. I've been shorter on time and energy, but I'm studying film dammit and I'm gonna try and watch some fuckin movies. This is my favorite genre (well this or comedy, I'm always hard pressed to choose one over the other). Anyways, I'm strapping in and ready to watch some people die. This here's my list and I'm sticking to it. Until I don't. I'll mark the corresponding entries with the original criterion and also noting what I shan't bother with out the gate. To quote Cuphead, "Here goes!"
