    On the other end, I apparently really like vampire lore and stories.

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    October 14th (Romantic horror) - Spring (2014)

    A sprinkle of horror images and chills here and there, but it's first and foremost a romance, kind of a supernatural Before Sunrise.

    Midnight Run (1988) - 9
    The Smiling Lieutenant (1931) - 8.5
    The Adventures of Robinhood (1938) - 8
    Sisters (1973) - 6.5
    Shin Godzilla (2016) - 7.5

    Found Footage: The Blair Witch Project

    Obvious choice, but I still have affection for this one.

    Yes. Rewatched it last year at home. Still shrill, annoying, amateurish and more crucially not scary

    REC is one of the few films in the past 10-15 years to really, seriously creep me out. I can think of only a couple others, and most of them are cult movies. The Invitation, Kill List, "Safe Haven." Something about people who have total faith in the inane really gets to me.

    Monday, October 15th - Found footage film
    BLAIR WITCH (not Blair Witch Project)

    Tuesday, October 16th - Based on a haunting or possession
    EXORCISM OF EMILY ROSE



    All Exorcism movies are more or less the same at this point, but I usually enjoy them unless they're just overloaded with jump scares.

    It's also one of the few movies where the American remake is of equal quality. Let the Right One in also comes to mind.

    The Ring (US) is better than the Japanese version, The Departed is better than Infernal Affairs, Vanilla Sky > Open Your Eyes. That's all I've got.

    I have a deep hatred for the Ring, but I saw the American version before the original. I hated the ending to that movie so much.

    Of all the remakes mentioned only The Departed is better. In every other case the original is clearly superior.

    Based on a haunting or possession: The Conjuring Part II (I assume this means based on a documented haunting/possession)

    Never seen: The Phantom Carriage

    Vampire: Nosferatu (1922)

    Holiday (not Halloween): I've never seen Silent Night Deadly Night, so that.
