Top 100 Horror films~

I've recently found that when I'm in the apartment and Aoife is having a little nap that I can feel quite bored at times. 

And when I tell myself that I should watch something I feel like I have too many choices or I don't know what to watch.

So I decided to come up with a way to counter that.

Originally, I looked up Film 4's 50 Films to Watch Before You Die and I realised that I had watched most of them, as well as their Top 50 Horror Films. 

Then I looked at Rotten Tomatoes and saw their Top 100 Horror Films list and so I've decided to start watching the films on that list. Once I took away the films that I had already watched on that list it still left a decent amount of films to watch. Plus, I love horror films!

There are quite a few films on that list that I've said to myself I wanted to watch too. Some I have on DVD that are still in the plastic wrapping.

I'll updated my blog each time that I watch a few of the films and what I thought of them. 

I'll post the list here, and I've striked out the films that I've already watched.
