My favourite time of the year is back and despite everything I’ve got going on, I am so excited to be bringing you this year’s list.
As a refresher, October Horror Movie Fest has been a tradition I’ve been doing since 2016. I’m a huge horror fan and I thought it would be a really cool idea to watch one horror movie a night for 31 nights just for the hell of it.
That year, I curated the first ever OHMF list of movies to watch from Oct. 1st through to the 31st. It wasn’t serious when I made it and I never posted it anywhere, it was just for me and my enjoyment (and it’s remained so to this day).
I try to switch it up every year in as many ways as I can with different movies (although some films tend to make more than one appearance) and different theme weeks. Two things I’ve always done every October is start the month watching all 8 instalments of the Saw franchise and end the month watching The Nightmare Before Christmas every Halloween. Last year I incorporated Slasher Week during the last week of October, featuring films with your common five slasher killers: Ghostface, Leatherface, Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger, and Michael Myers (but of course there are many more famous slashers). This year, I kept those selections relatively the same.
I cannot believe that this year marks the sixth year of OHMF and what started as something fun to do to celebrate spooky szn. This will be the 3rd time I’ve ever publicly shared my watchlist, (before it was just screenshotting the list I’d made on my phone and posting it on Snapchat).
With that being said, let the scary szn begin 😉
