I set a goal of 366 Horror Movies Watched In 2024, which is an average of one full-length horror movie per day till year’s end. As of today (114 days into the year), I have watched and reviewed 158 horror movies. Basically what happens is that on midnight of each day I drop my work and clear a few hours for movie time. Here’s a breakdown of ratings from these first 158 films so far, including links to each review:
