So…I just turned 30! I expected to be freaking out about my 20s being over, but I have been looking forward to this birthday for months. I am ready to start a new decade in a much more stable place than I started the last one. To celebrate the occasion on my blog, I am sharing my top 30 favorite horror/cult films. This list will undoubtedly change over time, but these are my all-stars right now. I opted for chronological order since there is no way I could rank them by any other criteria.
I have written about most of these films for this blog. To read more, search the titles using the homepage’s search tool!
