Scream High – A Blog About Horror Movies

Happy new year, my non-existent audience. Maybe someone will read this in the future…

Let’s just say my posts in 2024 were ..sporadic. ’25 will be much better – I promise.

Last year I gave myself a challenge to watch 300 horror movies, in chronological order of release; starting from 1930 and finishing with the then-current year, 2024. I dedicated a whole month to each decade (excluding the 2020’s), watching one movie per day – every day – for almost ten months and I made notes in a journal. Yes, I’m a geek.

In honour of Halloween and all things scary, here’s five horror movies that actually scared me. These are in no particular order, and by no means the only movies that have scared me.

Welcome… You might’ve already guessed, but I’m a big fan of horror movies, TV shows, video games – even collectibles and not-so-collectibles; generally, I like my media with a dark or scary kind of vibe, and the more vintage or obscure – the better.

I’ll share with you my reviews, recommendations and discoveries; I’m always searching for new, old stuff. I’ll even throw in some trivia and some deep cuts for you serious horror nerds, like me.

While I’ll keep my reviews as spoiler-free as possible, the deep cuts will contain spoilers – relax, I’ll put a spoiler warning at the top of the page if I reveal anything major.

Site launches today. Again

I’m officially declaring this – October 29th 2024 as the launch date. Had a smaller semi launch earlier, but this is the one.

The layout is kind of a placeholder for right now. I hadn’t worked with code/markup for a long time before doing this, so I’ve just used a basic template and tweaked a few things. If the site reaches an audience, I’ll look into improving the layout, but right now it’s at a point where everything works and I can focus on content.

What’s (my) favorite scary movie?

I don’t know..Really, it’s hard to pick just one. The Exorcist comes to mind immediately, but so does Basket Case – for completely different reasons, yet I love them both. I have a very wide range of favorites. You’ll find out as I post more, so check back soon.
