Day 31.
Slither.
When James Gunn does horror, you know it's gonna be disgusting and entertaining as hell. Nathan Fillion never disappoints either.

Day 30.
Thir13en Ghosts.
Very 2000s, very enjoyable. Has Matthew Lillard. 'Nuff said.

Day 29:
Silent Hill.
A different take on the original game's story leads to a surprisingly great movie adaptation. The fan service can be a bit much and the pacing is off, but it works where it counts.

Day 28:
Jacob's Ladder.
A timeless psychological horror classic without which my favourite horror videogame franchise, Silent Hill, wouldn't exist.

Day 27:
The Exorcism of Emily Rose.
Excellent blend of courtroom drama and horror based on a real-life tragedy that reveals a fascinating conflict between reality vs. spirituality in the judicial system.

Day 26:
Saw III.
Still hesitant to watch any of the other sequels, I can at least look at the Saw franchise fondly as a great trilogy and probably leave it at that.

Day 25:
Saw II.
The dreaded sequel of any succesful horror movie often forgets what made the original so good. Fortunately, Saw II expands on the same formula with a bigger scope and another killer twist.

Day 24:
Saw.
One of the most influential horror movies of the century, for better or worse. Still great.

Day 23:
Alien: Resurrection
Two creative minds clash in a mixed bag of an Alien movie, which still has plenty to enjoy in terms of gore.
#31DaysOfHorror #CountdownToHalloween #DendensMovieDen

Day 22:
Alien 3.
The Alien-movie I grew up with, and still my favourite. Bleak and relentless. Stunning central performances. Unique vision within the franchise, even so many years later.

Day 21:
The People Under the Stairs.
The horror leaves something to be desired, but this movie is one heck of an entertaining watch with Wes Craven slowly developing his skills to bring us Scream.

Day 20:
Aliens - Extended Cut
Not the kind of sequel anyone expected for Alien, but it's the one we needed. One of Cameron's finest, combining the suspense of the original with action on a larger scope.

Day 19:
Corpse Bride
Tim Burton tried to recapture the dark stop-motion charm of The Nightmare Before Christmas as a director this time around and largely succeeds.

Day 18:
Dreamcatcher
Stephen King adaptation is entertaining, but leaves viewer unfulfilled with wasted potential for a different, more interesting story the movie glosses over.

Day 17.
Alien: Director's Cut.
Perfect horror made even more perfect.

Day 16.
Alien.
Perfect horror in a fully convincing glimpse of the future, even so many years after release. Timeless classic.

Day 15:
Ash Vs.Evil Dead.
As great as the remake and Rise were, the TRUE Evil Dead sequels can be found in this brilliantly deranged show. Three seasons of sickening gore and a hilarious Bruce Campbell.

Day 14:
Alien: Covenant.
Pretty good movie, partly succeeding in linking Prometheus to Alien. A bold and gruesome experiment that shows Scott at his most nihilistic. David is one of my favourite villains.

Day 13:
Prometheus.
Ridley Scott's half straight-up horror and half philosophical sci-fi threatens to buckle under its own weight, but is ultimately a worthwhile gem that looks gorgeous (and horrifying).

Day 12:
Alien Vs. Predator.
More action than horror, but it sure is entertaining.

Day 11:
Wes Craven’s New Nightmare.
Wes Craven returned to his franchise one more time to successfully reinvigorate the horror side of Freddy Krueger, whilst simultaneously warming up for Scream.

Day 10:
A Nightmare On Elm Street 6: Freddy’s Dead – The Final Nightmare.
Power Glove Freddy and not much else.

Day 9:
A Nightmare On Elm Street 5: The Dream Child.
Goofy Freddy kills all horror, but at least he does so creatively.
#31DaysOfHorror #CountdownToHalloween #DendensMovieDen

Day 8:
A Nightmare On Elm Street 4: The Dream Master.
Great effects and a killer climax cannot completely redeem a sequel that shits on its excellent predecessor.

Day 6:
Poltergeist.
The perfect gateway horror. It has everything a great horror movie needs, but doesn’t go too far either. You think you don't like horror? Try Poltergeist.

Day 5:
A Nightmare On Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge. Not bad for a first attempt expanding the franchise.

Day 4:
A Nightmare On Elm Street.
Appropriately, sleep deprivation made me forget to post this classic. I'll catch up before Freddy takes me.

Day 3:
The Prophecy 3: The Ascent. Walken=good, making him slightly less awesome.
#31DaysOfHorror #CountdownToHalloween #DendensMovieDen

Day 2:
The Prophecy II. Walken=still awesome. No Evil Aragorn, but fallen angels-shenanigans still entertain.

Enjoy Spooky Month, y'all. I won't be able watch 31 horror movies, but I did accumulate 31 horror movies in my first year of Denden’s Movie Den! So without further ado:
