This will be my #100HorrorMoviesIn92Days (2025) thread.

From August 1 to Halloween, I will be updating this thread with all the horror films I watch for this challenge.

Last year, I hit 175 films.

I look forward to seeing how many I add this year. boxd.it/LBSxw

I don't know why people are walking out. It is a snappy musical number.

Okay, "never go in the engine room" is at least as much of a rule for boat movies as "never go in the basement" is for cabin in the woods movies

Someone who names their yacht the Aurora Borealis has to be a pretentious twit. #Frightclub

Hah, yeah. And not only a cliché, but also for whatever reason in vogue the past few years or so?
