Movie Drivel Presents… My Personal 31 Nights Of Horror (2015) – Viewing List

This October I plan on going a little mad. I went through all of my movies and compiled a list of horror films. The list started with 230 movies. It has now been whittled down to 31. The list is mainly comprised of films I have yet to see and ones that I haven’t seen …
