you only have to wait another day to rent, if you want to.

by order of release?
Decide that, but more so would rather go from gruesome to fun rather than fun to gruesome

What is this movie log?
Since 09 I've kept a complete history of days I've bought or received movies
I'd ask why, but I guess it was for this fateful day you could confirm what Zombs gave as a Secret Slasher over 10 years ago. :P

I don't even know why. When I lived with my parents, before I bought my own shelves and stuff and had a much smaller collection, kids and nieces would find their way to the movies and some would occasionally go missing. Eventually I got my own shelves and organized them, then eventually started just logging in movies on the day I'd buy them and make a note of it.

I'm also surprised it's being suggested as horror since it gives me as much horror vibes as Scooby Doo on Zombie Island. I've never seen Hocus Pocus.
