A SpookShow guide

The Exorcist: Believer was released a few days ago to a giant wet fart of a reception. Instead of wading through the excrement of recently released horror flicks, I decided to look back 50 years to when my favorite horror film, The Exorcist, was released. There's enough to do a top 20 on horror alone from this year. As such, I've been focusing on 60s and 70s with some darts thrown at the the 80s and 90s. 

Having been asked what I'm watching this season, I compiled a watchlist of movies I've never seen. It's the same watchlist I went to last year but with a bunch of titles added.
