October Scare Fest 2018
Perspectives
October is here! Finally. You all know what that means. I take the fetid corpse of what was once The Impact Factor and levy it is a platform to share my enthusiasm for horror movies!
This year will be a bit different. Previously (the past 4 years of so) I've focused my horror movie watching exclusively around spooby-season. In 2018, I have cast away my fall shackles and decided the entire calendar year is a good time to watch some scary flicks. Therefore, my initial scored list is going to look quite massive. I wanted to put this disclaimer out there so all you fine folks didn't think I marathoned horror movies for 24 hours straight to get a head start on the season.
I will keep updating this list throughout the month, so be sure to check back often for more movies & scores!
As always, I would love your input & suggestions! I am always on the lookout for great titles. You can find the movies I watched the past four years here!
