31Days, 31Films 2011 Edition by Greg

Here it is, that time again. October, a season of change, Halloween fun and 31 films of Horror/Halloween-esque content in 31 days. Along with Jody, the focus is on quality with a 6 cumulative rating and 16 of the films being new/unseen first viewing. With a personal twist this year, I'm going to stay with the 90's. Atleast majority, but not all.

Already planning for next year. Organization this year helped, so next year's will be better. I always enjoy a theme week. This year was Scream and a few direct clones, with the parody thrown in for fun. I'll try to top my 36, but that was a fluke. I had oodles of extra time the final two weekends, plus films kept getting added.
