30 Horror Films in 30 Days

Hello! As you may be able to tell from the name of my blog, I'm Victoria. It's about midnight and I've been struck with it: inspiration. I have wanted to start a blog for the longest time, for a variety of reasons, the details of which are unimportant.

Let me sell you on my idea: for every single day in October, I'm gonna watch a scary movie and write to you. I will tell you my thoughts, why I like it, what it means for me, why you should watch it, why you shouldn't watch it, etc etc etc.

You might be wondering: why do I care? And the beauty of that question is that I don't have to answer, given that nobody will ever read this and therefore nobody will ever ask it. I'm not one to share my writing, let alone writing that's just me giving myself a dumb excuse to do my favorite things: watch scary movies, and write.

I'm really going to try to keep up with this. If you're reading this, good for you. You must have really been searching to find this bad boy, and you must really be bored to have made it to...holy shit I'm already on paragraph four...anyway. If you like Halloween, this is for you, but not exclusively. I intend for this to be Halloween-ish (obviously), but horror films are a year-round sport for your girl here, and I really want to make this a rounded assessment of the films.

That being said, I'm not really sure what I'll talk about in each post. I'll definitely address the stuff I mentioned before, but I'll likely get into some of the technical stuff in addition to plot, actors, murder and more. This blog is serving more as a personal challenge to get me more comfortable with writing. I'm saying all this to fill the first post, and on the off chance someone's reading this, to tell you a little about the author (read: me).

So again, I'm Victoria.

I'm 22, a senior in college (graduating in December), and a horror movie buff. I'm by no means an expert, but I like to think I know more than the average consumer. I'll be going through 30 movies, hopefully in chronological order, starting tomorrow. So I guess that whole every day thing was a farce, but hey. I'm doing my best here.

The first post will be The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, the final post will be the new Halloween, and I'll figure out the rest between then and now. Dad, if you found this, you're too good. Ryan, if you found this, I showed you.

Enjoy this picture of my dog holding the disembodied arm of a toy he's destroyed that I like to think is him being a little spooky pooch.

Happy watching!
