Decided to challenge myself to watch 31 horror movies I haven’t seen yet this October, basically because I’ve missed a bunch I wanted to see over the years and why not knock a bunch out, right? So I put them all in a big list and did a random selection—first up is Nope (2022)! Excited 👽

Stieg Larsson's THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO was a smash hit on release, but tragically he never lived to see it. Between his life and the horrific event that led to the creation of thriller-icon Lisbeth Salander, there's so much to get into about this one! 📺 bit.ly/4zEt3hz 🎙️ bit.ly/45Qd16K

Christopher Nolan's take on "The Odyssey" is an epic for our time, while still honoring the original. Whether you loved it or not, it's clear he made an auteur event film in an age of AI slop and that's something worth celebrating. Argos is waiting ⤵️ 📺 bit.ly/4g4p7yR 🎙️ bit.ly/4pQCQN1

I adore Ethel Cain's music! It's haunting southern gothic storytelling that captures both the beauty and horror of an area I know all too well from growing up in Florida. This is her latest album, which was excellent. "Nettles" is a particular standout track. open.spotify.com/album/3iSPMf...

I’m actually fine that it doesn’t immediately feel/look like Resident Evil? I feel like the franchise needs a refresher anyway to general horror audiences, at least as far as the films go. Maybe we let Zach Cregger cook?
