The Impact Factor

October Scare Fest 2015

Perspectives

Hey everyone! Welcome back to another special perspectives here on The Impact Factor. As many of you know, I’m an avid horror fan. Books, movies, tv shows, video games, you name it. Last year I went through and watched a ton of horror movies during the month of October and had a blast doing so. Unfortunately, this was still before I set up The Impact Factor so I couldn’t share my thoughts with you all. 2015 is a different story. I’m back and ready to watch through as many new horror movies as possible!

For the month of October, I’m going to try to watch 3-4 horror movies each week. Of course, I’m watching ones I haven’t seen. It’s going to be quite the adventure. I wanted to make this quick perspectives here to give you all my Scare Fest 2014 list (with my review scores!) as well as my tentative list for this year. I’m overly optimistic: I hope to get to as many of the titles on the list as possible, but we'll see what time allows! I’ll keep updating my post with which movies I’ve watched, and how I think they rate.

Please follow along with me if you can! A ton of the films are on Netflix streaming. If you do, let’s talk about them. Post comments here or hit me up on Twitter @alexsamocha or shoot an email to impactfactorpodcast@gmail.com. I have another horror-related announcement to make here soon, so keep an eye out!
