Day 30 of #31nightsofhorror was #nosferatu (2024). Robert Eggers masterful remake doesn't put a foot wrong. No notes.

#31DaysOfHorror day 29 was #thehome (2025) . Fairly mediocre horror mystery but the insane finale makes up for many of its faults.

#shelbyoaks is up for day 28 of #31DaysOfHorror . Starts off as a found footage mockumentary before morphing an occult thriller. More an homage to better films than anything else.

#31DaysOfHorror day 27 and #theritual (2025). Not the best film with this name but a serviceable exorcism thriller starring Al Pacino and Dan Stevens

Day 27 of #31DaysOfHorror and As Above So Below (2014). Suffers from many of the usual found footage annoyances but has a cool setting and some Indiana Jones puzzle solving mixed into the horror.

#31DaysOfHorror day 26 is #annabellecomeshome (2019). Lighter entry to the franchise this time round and a fun end to the adventures of the spooky doll. F that girl who lets Annabelle out though.

#31DaysOfHorror day 25 and #annabellecreation (2017) and the prequel is a big step up for the first film. Some of the best scares of any films in The Conjuring franchise.

#31DaysOfHorror day 23 and #Annabelle (2014) is the only Conjuring adjacent movie I hadn't seen. Turns out I wasn't missing much, although it has a couple of decent moments.

Day 22 of #31DaysOfHorror and 2025 remake #thehandthatrocksthecradle . Starts off like it might have twist on the original but ends up being a retread with less personality.

#31DaysOfHorror day 22 and anthology franchise vhs offers up this years effort, #vhshalloween . As ever, some segments are better than others but overall, this is one of the series's best entries.

Day 20 of #31DaysOfHorror day 20 was Dark Water (2005). Part of the remake every Japanese horror craze of the 2000s, although more of mystery than anything else. A little dull but great cast.

#31DaysOfHorror day 19 and 30 Days of Night (2007) has vampires attack an Alaskan town in the dead of dark winter. Not really scary enough, and a little too silly, to get away with being so po-faced, but certainly has teeth.

#31DaysOfHorror day 18 and Natty Knocks (2023). Part slasher, part adult version of a kids adventure movie but ultimately a whole lot of nothing, despite the presence of a couple of horror icons

Day 17 of #31DaysOfHorror and #DakotaFanning stars in (mostly) one person horror #viscious . Has a fairly interesting setup but relies on tired tropes for scares and drags on come the end.

#finaldestinationbloodlines is up for #31DaysOfHorror day 16. A fine return for the dormant franchise with some of the best set pieces and most likeable characters of the series.

Day 14 of #31DaysOfHorror and rip roaring genre bender #fromdusktilldawn (1996). Insanely fun and stylish. George Clooney has never been cooler.

#31DaysOfHorror day 13 and #finaldestination5 . An improvement on the precious entry but still some way short of the glory days. Can see why it was put on hiatus afterwards.

#31DaysOfHorror day 12 and #thefinaldestination (2009) . 3D made it fun in the cinema but with rushed kills and some horrible CGI, it's definitely a weak entry.

#finaldestination2 (2003) is up for day 10 of #31DaysOfHorror. Plot contrivencies to tie it to the first film get ridiculous but ups the anti and has some of the most memorable moments of the series.

Day 9 of #31DaysOfHorror is #finaldestination (2000). The film that hit on the genius idea of, what if the slasher was...everything!? Slow compared to what came after, but vintage turn of the century.

Day 8 of #31DaysOfHorror and #frightnight (2011). Never understood why this remake was panned on release because it absolutely rips. Is it's own thing, and who wouldn't let #colinfarrell into their house.

#31DaysOfHorror day 7 and #Frightnight (1985). There's no messing around in this classic. Effects haven't aged as well as some other iconic films of the era but it's dripping in 80s style.

#31DaysOfHorror day 6 is fun vampire hunter romp #dayshift . As by the numbers story as you can imagine, but has a tonne of inventive fight scenes and #jamiefoxx charisma.
