By Jody
My annual ritual of watching at least (but not limited to) one horror/holiday-themed movie for every day of the month. The rules are to watch at least 16 films I have never seen each year and to keep the average score above 6 (forces me to not watch only garbage titles).
There are 25 sub-genres that I must watch one from each, represent at least 10 countries, and one movie from every decade, starting with the 1920's.
