My Top 100 Horror Movies! Part 1
Little Gems
so spooky season is upon us again,it's one of my favorite times of the year and so I figure why not share 100 of my favorite horror films that I like to watch every year even though I don’t get around to watching every single one. Because that’s a lot of movies, but these are the ones that I continuously come back to over and over again. Or that I like the most and some of them include recent titles, which is surprising.
I realize I like doing countdowns like this because it gives me a chance to talk at about one of my favorite topics and I also get to go down memory lane. another thing that I’m doing with all these movies is that I’m trying to watch them all in the same month. Which I’ve never done before so this is just the first 50 and I have to add a whole other 50. So wish me luck on that. I’m trying to challenge myself by doing this to pull it off. As for me writing this, however, I’m doing horribly. So I might make this a by-the-end-of-the-year thing.
So I’m going to do this in two parts, and as with everything that involves art this is subjective. So whoever reads this and hates some of these entries, I don’t know what to tell you. Other than those are the movies that I like, and sorry if you hate them. But if you give this a chance and read it,
I thank you in advance. Especially due to how long this is going to be or how long …well, this one might not be that long. but once I’m done with both of these entries, it’s going to be long.
This is tough to do because of course I’ve seen so many movies that aren’t on this list, but I have to think really deeply and hard about which ones I truly truly love to call a favorite so certain classics that I might have seen did not necessarily make the cut. But nonetheless, I still had fun with this because even though it’s Halloween season, I am not in the spirit. And so this will help me get out of my little seasonal funk and have some fun with the holiday since movies are my favorite thing in general can’t be that bad right or can’t be that hard I mean.
So before we get started let's go over a little bit first there were movies on here that may not be considered by people as being horror but to me they are and I’m also a big fan of the mystery/ thriller genre so sometimes those genres blend a lot to me, so there are some entries on here that might be considered mystery rather than horror. But no matter the genre each entry I would say, has at least a few scary moments in it to be considered horror. They're a few directors on here, that have made an appearance more than once that you will notice. And I have quite a few sequels on there as well even some movies that don’t have the original film included on here.
So if I am lucky enough to get anybody to read this, I want you all to either leave a comment telling me your favorite horror, movies or leave a comment about which movies are deemed classics but aren’t movies that you particularly like that much so we can have a dialogue and talk about it in the comments. Or better yet tell me both.

"Halloween Ends" Thoughts.
So it's been a couple of weeks since this movie came out now and the reactions were shocking. Now I would not call this a review, but I had to give my thoughts on this movie and how polarizing it was. I really enjoyed what Davis Gordon Green has done with these movies I wasn't sure what was gonna come of them when I heard he would be making two more after Halloween 2018. I really liked what they all did to this Halloween movie especially. With the franchise coming back from the dead I was excited to see these characters return. I never thought we'd ever see Jaime lee Curtis do another one of these movies again. So seeing her back for these was a real treat. Even though there were some issues I had with "Kills" I still found it entertaining. At the end of the day, it was a good trilogy.

Before Sylvester the Cat, there was Sylvester the Dog
Sylvester was a Merrie Melodies canine Sylvester, the Cat, is a beloved Looney Tunes character who debuted in March 1947 in the animated short Life with Feathers. The iconic Mel Blanc once said that he enjoyed voicing Sylvester, one of his favorite characters. The cartoon short that was near and dear to Blanc's heart was Bird's Anonymous which starred the popular cat.

Book Review: "Out of the Shadows" by Walt Odets
“True self-acceptance is readily recognizable: it is largely free of needless explanation, apology, and pandering, and free of reactive, unrealistic self-confidence and compensatory false pride. Self-acceptance allows realistic self-confidence, which is significantly unhinged in adulthood from the expectations and approval of others. In the end, authentic self-acceptance—or the lack of it—is almost the entirety of what defines a life. Without true self-acceptance, there is no true self-confidence or self-realization. Without self-realization, lives feel squeezed, purposeless, and truncated, cut short long before physical death finally ends them entirely.” - Out of the Shadows by Walt Odets

Love the inclusion of "Rear Window" - I often think people forget how frightening the concept of that film is. I also love the inclusion of "28 Days Later" over the more commercial "28 Weeks Later" - "28 Days Later" is in my opinion the superior of the two. This is a great part 1, I look forward to seeing 50-1 of your list.
