October Horror Movie Challenge 2018 - Pledge and Play Along at Home! #OHMC18

For months it lay dormant, now the October Horror Movie Challenge has arisen once again!  The rules for the challenge are, as always, that across the 31 days of October, you must watch at least 31 horror movies, and at least half of those (so 16 or more) must be ones that you are seeing for the first time.  Well, I have a big ol' stack of stuff I've been gathering mostly from charity shops across the year, ready to watch on a random draw basis.  Also, the London Film Festival is on, and I'm already booked for a bunch of the cult titles they are showing. My current record is 43 films, let's try for even better.

As in previous years, I'm doing this sponsored for Crisis, so please donate what you can.  I am likely to turn my brain inside out going through the discards gained from Oxfam shops, lets have at least something good come from the experience.  Also, as in previous years, I have a few recommendations of some recent/upcoming releases that you might want to try if you'd like to try the challenge yourself.  One good source of films I can recommend right now is Shudder, a very good streaming site with a great selection of horror titles I checked out earlier this year.  If you already have Amazon prime channels, you can access it there too.  Let's take a look then at some films to get you started with your own journey into fear this year, starting with something coming out on DVD tomorrow...
