Halloween Horror Month 2019

[DaveSimonH]

Halloween Horror Month 2019

It's that time again, another Halloween Horror Month, trying to watch 31 films in 31 days.
I started doing the challenge in 2012, so this is year #8 for me. It's always fun, watching new horror films and old favourites.

If the film lists horror as it's main, or sub genre it qualifies (and I like to keep it varied). But that's me, set your own rules & targets, it's supposed to be fun after all.
Personally I try for at least 1 per day in October, achievable as a single man without kids, but obviously for those more busy that may be an unrealistic target.
So just watch what you can and enjoy some horror films over October.

To see at a glance what horror titles you have in you collection, the blu-ray.com My Movies app (set to genres > horror) is an easy way to browse quickly.

If this sounds like fun, feel free to join in. I'm starting this year off watching the 1991 classic 'The Silence of the Lambs', and will update the post below with the films viewed throughout the month.

"It places the lotion in the basket."
