The rules are quite simple and come in two flavors:
- The "basic" challenge is to watch 13 scary, horror or Halloween themed films from midnight October 1, 2015 through October 31, 2015. For this, 2 of the 13 films must be new discoveries, movies you've never seen before.
- The "ultimate" challenge is to watch 31 horror, scary or Halloween themed movies must be viewed during the same timeframe mentioned above. For this, 10 new discoveries are recommended. Those will be underlined.
I'm glad to say some family and friends have expressed interest in joining me in this challenge. Below are their lists.
