Inaugural Cinefessions Summer Screams Challenge – Sketchy Details' List

Cinefessions is running a fun horror movie challenge this month. Essentially, you watch as many horrors as you can and keep an updated list going on your own blog. Each feature is worth 1 pt and each hour of horror television is collectively worth a point. Bonuses abound. I'm throwing my hat in the ring because I watch a lot of horror anyway and the scoring system interests me.

The List

Week One: Sci-Fi/Horror Bonus (1-3 June) Week Two: Slasher Films (4-10 June) Week Three: Alien Invasion Films (11-17 June) Week Four: Creature Features (18-24 June) Week Five: Pandemic Films (25-30 June)
