Welcome to my 2024 Horror-Thon watch list.

A glimpse into this year’s selections in my annual tradition.

Why rank horror movies again? Instead I’m looking at something often overlooked in horror movies: style.

As I mentioned multiple times on the blog, I love classic horror movies. Way back when AMC's Fear Fest used to begin with the black and white classics and move up to the modern-day slasher films. Sadly, they've cut the movie marathon down to about a week rather than a month so they tend to strictly focus on the slasher films. At least the streaming services still have them available to watch. Of course, I took a bunch of film classes where we studied the likes of Psycho, The Exorcist, and The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari which gave me a greater appreciation for the classics.

I love a good horror movie. Okay scratch that. I love a few select horror movies and none of them are recent. Trust me, just ask anyone who gets incredibly mad at me laughing the entire time because I just cannot suspend my disbelief for two or so hours. I might get into my favorites in another post because I just finished watching the 1979 version of the Amityville Horror and AMC's Fear Fest is going to start in just a few days. Plenty to write about, right?
