Since we were all relatively locked down throughout 2020, I thought it would be a fitting task to watch as many horror movies as I could. Not surprising, I had more than enough time on my hands to complete my goal and then some. Below, I listed the 126 movies I watched from August 3 to October 31, 2020.
Now, not all of these movies fall under the traditional horror genre. I ended up counting anything related to Halloween as well.
So, first thing’s first, here is the full list of movies. Anything in bold is well worth the watch in my opinion!

Throughout this movie binge, I rediscovered my love for the supernatural. That’s something I’m lucky enough to be able to continue working on in a bunch of different ways. More to come on that.
I also found the movies I enjoyed the most were both a combination of old, terrible by today’s standards ones and new indie stuff, mostly found on Shutter. I’m excited to see what new things will come out this year to add to 2021’s watch list.
Look for the next post where I’ll dive into some TV horror as well.
Stay spooky, kids.
