For 2023, Cinemonster's classic and compelling horror challenge.

Cinemonster's list: boxd.it/n6or6

Once again, I am stoked to engage in watching a ton of horror. This is a cool year personally defined by shit being way too hot and directing a production of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.

Cinemonster's rules below. In addition to the challenge, I also watch some shorts and other odds and ends, and I try to make it all stuff I've never seen before!

Here's blood in yer eye!
