I'm thinking of going 100% Hammer Horror this year.

Are there 31 Hammer horror movies though?

There's 10 films in and related to their Dracula series, 7 for Frankenstein and 4 for the Karnstein trilogy. So that's 21 right there.

There's gotta be more than 10 various other movies. Go for it!

There are certainly a lot out there. I think the better question is is "are there 31 good Hammer horror films," which will have a wide range of opinions!

I'm pruning my list for this year as we speak. Expect the following:

-All 80s, all the time!
-Big emphasis on horror from around the world!
-For the first time ever, animated films!
-No slashers allowed!
-Seriously, I managed to find more than enough films from the 80s that weren't slashers to occupy me for an entire month! I did the research!

I can already tell it's going to be awesome this year.

You have no idea how much I love this sentence being true, even as a technicality.

They did a bunch of shit as well, which will be the difficult to phase out. I'm thinking all the vampire stuff first of all, and then I'll see what I'm in the mood for. Want to definitely check out their Sherlock Holmes stuff as well.

Last year I started watching stuff in chronological order, but that got real boring very quickly, so I shifted to doing sections of chronological order watching (e.g. some Vincent Price stuff in chronological order, then some Universal stuff, then some Hammer stuff, etc.) but that also ended up feeling really same-y.

So this year, I'm just grabbing a bunch of random stuff. No big theme, no chronological order, and mostly all from the 70s and 80s, plus two from last year that got buzz (one more than the other) that I'd be meaning to watch and now have a perfect excuse to do so.

This is what I do. Then I just watch it in either the mood that I'm in or I try to get a decent flow going. It's a process that takes a bit of time and is hard to explain...

All of my first time views are going to be through Shudder this time around. I'm also going to try to seek out newer horror this year. I keep sticking with the 1930-early 2000s, and I know there's some good stuff out there. I've got 40 films lined up so far, but I'll be missing the last 3 days before Halloween due to my wedding.
