So I just finished Superstition (1982) and it's rivaling The Gate for best new viewing. The movie itself is good, but the kills are pretty top notch. If ya got it, I'd recommend it.

Haunted High with Trejo is probably my favorite rewatch of the challenge so far. Quality stuff. 10/10

Amanda Donohoe is incredibly sexy. Watching an old school horror by Ken Russell. Lair of the White Worm. Hugh Grant and Peter Capaldi. Lots of fun.

Two movies today. Still on track to my goal (95 total), so all is well. A bit behind on my reviews, though, which I need to try and catch up on before Wednesday.

289!
it should be made more available. more people need to see it! :P
The underground tunnel scene alone makes the whole movie worth a watch.
gotta watch it for the pink socks guy. :P
I forgot lots about this movie. Perhaps a rewatch is in order! Though, many films I have need rewatches...
this is the rewatch you should watch first?

Starting up Two Evil Eyes. A movie by Argento and Romero, dedicated to Edgar Allan Poe. Turns out Poe died 170 years ago on this date.

Crazy.

I watched the Happy Death Day movies today. Nothing mindblowing but a ton of fun. I can see them becoming part of the usual challenge line up alongside F13th and such.

Meant to ask this at the start of the challenge, but regarding new watches, what else do you all have lined up, and which ones do you expect will be your favorite? Least favorite?

i have a few picked out. midsommar, crawl, anna and the apocalypse, the uninvited, tag, images, and blue my mind. other than that, i'm just playing by ear mostly. whatever looks interesting.

i think my favorite will probably end up being crawl or images, based on what i've heard. but we'll see.
