What am I doing here? Haven't I vanished for months at a time?
Yes, yes I have. Life in 2020 has been insane, the pandemic one of the least crazy things about it. The main reasons are twofold:
1. Three children, all 3 or younger. Very difficult to record in that environment, so OMB is still on hiatus for a little bit.
2. I've also been a contributing writer to Chilling Tales for Dark Nights, and should be selling a book of some of my collected stories soon, which may (or may not) be of interest to anyone who is taking part in this (if there is interest, I'll give a link when available).
But wow, time for the 11th one of these, and hoo boy, I am honestly not sure if I'll be completing it this year. It's going to be tough, because even though it seems like a good time to be indoors, I'm still busy. But for those interested, and haven't done it before (or need a refresher on the rules), here goes:
1. 31 days, 31 movies or TV specials. Begins midnight, your local time, ends 11:59 your local time. Movies can run over the end time if it is begun before then.
2. If you miss a day, you can make it up before the 31st is over. However, you cannot "front load," watching several days ahead.
3. Horror is very widely defined, so even if it's a horror comedy or a Hannibal Lecter thriller, it counts. However, "so bad it's scary" does not count on its own. The Happening qualifies, but After Earth does not, regardless of how bad they both may be.
4. Watching riffed versions are not only allowable, but encouraged.
5. Reviews are also encouraged!
That's all I can think of at the moment. Enjoy!
