2019 was the year of first watching for me. Movies you have heard of but never saw, releases of new, older classics, I pushed myself out of a “comfort zone” and watched films I never thought I’d get the chance to see. Thanks to Prime, Shudder, my ever growing collection in horror media (dvds, vhs), it’s been a wild ride.
So, here’s what I watched in 2019 by year of release; a lot of which are 80s horror 🤷🏽♀️.
