The Super Network

Now that October in finally upon us once again, that means only one thing…It’s Halloween time! Like my podcasting co-host Super Marcey, I’ll also be spending the month doing a marathon of horror films. Unfortunately I won’t be watching over 100 horror films again like I did last year, that almost killed me (although I did manage to watch 77 from that list, which was actually pretty good if you asked me).

However for my Halloween marathon this year, I’ve decided to do something different. I’m going to be checking out 62 horror films that I’ve never seen before. 31 of which be older horror films made before the year 2000, while the other 31 will be horror films released in the last 3 years. So I’ll be watching two films per day (plus they’ll be a few bonus films I”ll be seeing as well, this will include both rewatches and cinema or festival releases). Will I be able to watch them all? Stay tune and find out!

Here’s my list:
