31 Days of Horror
by shaner575 | created - 03 Oct 2014 | updated - 19 Oct 2016 | PublicMy day by day account of random horror leading up to the best holiday for movies. The best part is that they can all be seen for free. I do have certain movies that I have to watch before the big day. Some of those aren't free, but from my to large collection. I have a very difficult time giving films are low star count. I try to look at the good points, and then see if it makes since based on those parts.
It has been a couple of years and i am going to do this again the next 31 days is going to start at 32 and go from there.
