My favourite fucking time of the year is back. I’M BACK and SO happy to be bringing October Horror Movie Fest back for it’s 7th edition???

(I don’t need to get a life or find a hobby, this is IT)

If you’re new here (which I’m sure you are), 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 a serious thing 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). Just recently however, I’ve started sharing my lists because I love recommending horror movies I vibe with and don’t vibe with to anyone who wants to hear my opinion.

I try to switch up the list every year in as many ways as I can with different movies and different theme weeks (although some films tend to make more than one appearance in consecutive years because they’re classics or staples).

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 night. Over the last two years, I incorporated Slasher Week during the last week of October, featuring films with your fave five slasher killers: Ghostface, Leatherface, Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger, and Michael Myers (but of course there are many more famous slashers).

I decided however, I didn’t want to do that this year. Instead, I’m paying tribute to the legend Wes Craven by watching a few of his hidden gem films that go far beyond Nightmare on Elm and Scream.

This year’s list was incredibly hard to compile because there’s a ton of older films I have yet to watch, but wanted to diversify the list as much as possible; switching it up between eras and decades, and keeping a few faves from last year as well.

I genuinely cannot believe that this year marks the seventh year of OHMF and what started as something fun to do to celebrate spooky szn. I never would’ve imagined this was a tradition I’d end up taking as seriously as I have, but I look forward to October every year strictly because of the amazing films I get to watch throughout the month.

This will be the 4th 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 😉
