100 Horror Movies
This list is from a scratch off chart that my wife and I are watching one by one. We got the list back in 2020 (which is why the newest movie is from 2020) but had kids right after starting so we are finally getting back into it. Even though I’ve already seen a lot of them, we are rewatching them to scratch them off. Feel free to join the 100 horror movie challenge!

Jaws, The Thing, Fright Night, The Descent, and that run from It Follows to Get Out are all faves. Bodes well for checking the rest of the list!
Tons of good stuff here. Vampyr is my favorite of the real old stuff. Some of the coolest imagery of all time in that one. OG Black Christmas is another favorite. Doesn’t get mentioned as much as other classics but I feel like it did a lot for the genre
