On October 1, 2010, I started reviewing horror films and to celebrate that anniversary, I am eternally cursed to compile the best of the best in horror for the previous year and distribute it daily every day through our favorite month, October. This year has been a doozy for horror with all kinds of scares—mainstream and indie, low budget and blockbuster, international and one’s made right in my backyard!

Let’s set the guidelines. All through October, I’ll be posting reviews of films in the horror genre that I feel were the best I’ve seen from October 1, 2023, through September 30, 2024. As an added bonus, I’ll be adding a secondary review that may be somewhat related to the main review or slightly missed the countdown by inches. Either way, it’s a double dose of great horror to be on the look out for every day this month.

How do I come up with my Best of Horror list, you may be asking yourself? Well, I begin a list starting October 1 and add and subtract to it as the year goes on. For me, what stands out the most is something I haven’t seen before. I’ve already started my list for 2025! I do not count films I’ve seen advance screeners for or seen at festivals. Nothing annoys me more than a critic who ranks films that aren’t available for the masses on streaming, On Demand, or Blu-ray/DVD. I don’t really go for that elitist attitude here. Every film in this countdown can be seen somehow, right now.

Now, remember, these are simply my opinions, based on my own personal sick and twisted tastes, not box office or critic ratings. And I’m sure you have your own strong opinions about these films and I hope you plan on chatting about your own picks down below in the comments. I hope you follow along the countdown with me every day in October. I really want this channel to grow, so please, please, please, spread the word about this countdown. Give it a like. If you haven’t subscribed, please do. It costs nothing and that way you’ll never miss a new post. Feel free to agree, disagree, or better yet, give me your own picks for your favorite horror movies of the year.

It all starts tomorrow, right here on MLMillerFrights. So I’ll see you then!

Happy Halloween!
