The October Horror Movie Challenge is something us horror fiends look forward to every single year. Some of us even go so far as to deprive ourselves of the genre for the entire month of September. My personal best stands at 62 films, which I accomplished last year. I have no intentions of even coming close to that this year, but I will still meet the basic guidelines of 31 horror films in 31 days with 16 first time views, listed below. It has begun.
Update: Oct. 02
My initial goal was to watch only horror films released in 2014 so as to stay current, but apparently the new trend in horror is to release the film after Halloween season, thus making my venture rather difficult, especially since I've already seen a lot of this year's releases. The films I am finding are difficult to track down, because nothing says promotion more than making a film difficult to view in any possible format.
Update: Oct. 04
My initial goal was to list every single horror film I watched here. I have instead decided to do a separate entry for each week, ending Saturday night, so I will post it every Sunday. I will still list them and link to the entries here.
Update: Oct. 05
