Ok, it is less impressive and thematically appropriate than “31 Horror Movies For October,” but that’s how it ended up.
What can I say? Life gets in the way, your stolen internet goes dark, you leave town for a few days, no one wants to watch horror movies at a wedding – many things can happen. On the other hand, 26 seems like a decent effort to me, so I don’t feel too ashamed.
These were all first views for me, or at least first intentional views as an adult – I’m pretty sure I’d already seen Frankenstein, for instance, but it’s hard to tell: the imagery is so iconic that it’s almost like a childhood vacation you aren’t sure you really remember, rather than simply the pictures of it on your parent’s mantel. In any case, the whole point was to watch horror movies I hadn’t seen, or at least hadn’t watched. (Write-ups added as I get to them.)
