Listening to the top 10 horror films since 2000 as voted for Evolution of Horror listeners, and I'm pleased IT FOLLOWS did so well and the chat between @mikemuncer.bsky.social and @jamie-graham.bsky.social is great (obvs), but unfortunately must tap the sign again

Prince and The Revolution - Purple Rain
Possibly influenced by the upcoming @peoples-pop-polls.bsky.social.
