'''Jumpscare surprise return! Musical stinger!'''

I bet you didn’t expect that! Did you really think I’d give up the ghost of the Halloween season that easily?!

This is going to be a lot less organized and ambitious. I am in the middle of the Veterinary program and to be honest, I don’t know how this is going to go overall with classes, homework, exams, and clubs/organizations. I am going to be taking the path of least-resistance here while, at the same time, trying my best to show you some new, terrifying, or just plain terrible movies you may have not seen yet. So without further adieu, I bring you Travis/EmpyrealInvective’s Horr-tacular 2018!

Here’s a run-down of what to expect this Cinematic Spook-tacular:

Maybe I’ll Take a Suggestion Monday As the title suggests, I’ll try to sit down and watch a movie you suggest for me on Facebook, Twitter, or the Creepypasta Wiki. If I’m able to track it down, haven’t reviewed it before, have the time, and can write something entertaining about it, I’ll watch it and give it a review.

YouTube Tuesday On Tuesdays I’m going to be scouring YouTube for full movies. I’ll include a link in case you want to watch alongside me. Let’s share the Halloween experience by watching some low-quality rips of horror movies on Youtube.

Wednesday: Garbage Day! (Fuck you, it’s January) I do this every year. I dedicate a day of the week to watching horrible movies. I’m not going to change that. Instead, I’m going to try to spice it up by featuring movies that were released in January. As explained here, January’s become the dumping ground for bad movies as it’s out of Oscar season and the box office is flooded with trash that studios and audiences typically don’t care about. Combine that with winter weather which has a negative impact on ticket sales and you have a month where horror movies are traditionally released to die. Join me for a weekly trip to the dump where I watch and review bad horror movies that were released in January.

There’s No Time Thursday! This is more of a convenience than anything. As Thursday is a bit of a longer day for me, I need to make more time in my schedule for classes, clubs, friends, and generally keeping up with everything. So, on Thursdays, I’ll be watching one or two short horror movies (both popular ones and student films found on the internet) and telling you guys what I think.

Friday: My Day As the name suggests, every Friday I’ll be watching a film of my own choosing. It may be a good horror movie, it may be one that I’ve heard is so bad that it has managed to grab my attention. It’ll definitely be entertaining to see what I can come up with.

Series Saturday On Saturdays I’ll be watching a horror anthology and watching a few random episodes to see how the series holds up. These are going to be old series and newer ones. Depending on the how much time I have on these days and the length of the episodes, I may be watching a few or a lot of episodes.

Spookypasta Sunday A day devoted to creepypastas or movies that were inspired by creepypastas. Also, as I did this before, I am probably going to have to stretch the definition to make this work. Every Sunday we’ll see how much the internet culture has bled into cinema.
