11. Halloween H2O (1998): I have such nostalgia feels for this one; I love it for no good reason. This is where it should have ended. Ranking in my rewatchability: Halloween, Halloween III, Halloween H2O. #31HorrorFilms31Days

10. Oculus (2013): I like how tricky this movie is structurally; moving between multiple timelines and then also between reality and what the mirror shows, and with an inevitable ending foreshadowed by how it started. Also that lightbulb scene? Pure suspense. #31HorrorFilms31Days

9. Strange Harvest (2024): The true crime mockumemtary style of this horror movie almost worked too well for me, in that I started to zone out like I always do for documentaries. Cool idea, okay execution, dry and not scary like I had hoped. #31HorrorFilms31Days

8. I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025): I don’t know why this got a remake/reboot but I enjoyed it for the semi-predictable slasher it is. Sarah Michelle Gellar’s cameo was the best part. #31HorrorFilms31Days

7. House on Eden (2025): I love found footage horror, no matter how basic, and we all know it can be hard to make it seem natural to always be filming, but this one stretched credulity to an unforgivable degree. Found footage can be artful, but basic can be good. This was not. #31HorrorFilms31Days

6. Tales From the Crypt: Demon Knight (1995): It’s zany, it’s cartoonish, it’s got great practical effects, and great performances from everybody. I’m pretty sure I had a crush on Billy Zane and Jada Pinkett Smith when I saw this in the 90s. #31HorrorFilms31Days

5. Awoken (2019): I’m so behind in posting. I’ve always had trouble sleeping and had terrible nightmares as a kid so I’m drawn to sleep study horror. This one was okay; some decent scares if you can ignore all the plot holes and how it definitely fell apart at the end. #31HorrorFilms31Days

4. 28 Days Later (2002): A rewatch in preparation for 28 Years Later. It’s been a long time since my first watch in the theater, when I remember exiting with an upset stomach because I’d been so tense for the whole runtime. Absolutely a zombie classic. #31HorrorFilms31Days

3. Until Dawn (2025): This made me mad. Why say this is a retelling of the video game and title it that way, when it isn’t ANYTHING like the game? This is more Dead By Daylight (minus generators) than Until Dawn. Whatever. The part where they all explode was the best part. #31HorrorFilms31Days

2. Best Wishes to All (2023): This debut Japanese horror film about what it takes to be happy in a world with limited opportunities is unsettling and surreal. Also, WTF was up with the baby? #31HorrorFilms31Days

Feeling privileged to watch the start of Critical Role Campaign Four tonight. I can’t wait to see what Brennen Lee Mulligan does and what the heck West Marches campaigns are like. #CriticalRole

1. Woodlands Dark and Days Bewitched (2021): This is a smart, engaging, comprehensive study of folk horror across cultures. It’s super long so it makes for a good watch while crocheting, which is what I wanted on my day off Wednesday. #31HorrorFilms31Days

It’s time for me to resurrect my Bluesky in order to post my #31HorrorFilms31Days challenge. Here’s my rough list (but I always go off book too).

I’m so angry I can’t even see straight. LGB my ass.
‼️ The National Park Service has REMOVED mentions of transgender people being involved with Stonewall. Not only did the remove the world "Transgender" but changed "LGBTQ+" to "LGBQ+".
The federal government is attempting to erase us and take away our history.
This pride, we riot.

For a long time, I would print these out and highlight the ones I read and try to work through as much as I could. I had a folder of them! I don’t print out anymore but I still rely on this yearly list to point me to books I’ve missed.
