#100HorrorMoviesin92Days 45 - Bloody Axe Wound (2024) This was a fun take on the slasher. I was also happy to see Jeffery Dean Morgan and Angel Theory from The Walking Dead in small roles. #HorrorSky
Dr Darren Gray (@drdarrengray.bsky.social) reply parent
#100HorrorMoviesin92Days 44 - You Are Not My Mother (2021) Atmospheric slow-burn Irish horror. A confident feature length directorial debut from Kate Dolan. #HorrorSky
Dr Darren Gray (@drdarrengray.bsky.social) reply parent
#100HorrorMoviesin92Days 43 - Z (2019) Imaginary friend horror. Some great creepy / tense moments and as it develops it explores unsettling ideas around control and coercion. #HorrorSky
Dr Darren Gray (@drdarrengray.bsky.social) reply parent
#100HorrorMoviesin92Days 42 - Nocebo (2022) Some good ideas and a great performance from Eva Green. #HorrorSky
Dr Darren Gray (@drdarrengray.bsky.social) reply parent
#100HorrorMoviesin92Days 41 - The Curse of the Crimson Altar (1968) Swinging sixties British horror! Silly, but with Christopher Lee (wearing his favourite jacket), Boris Karloff, Barbara Steele and Michael Gough it’s a superb cast! #HorrorSky
Dr Darren Gray (@drdarrengray.bsky.social) reply parent
#100HorrorMoviesin92Days 40 - One Cut of the Dead (2017) This was fantastic! Inventive, funny and an absolute gem of a film. I’ve read some posts of people not liking it and giving up around 20mins in…if you have not seen it, please don’t do that, no spoilers, but stick with it 😁 #HorrorSky
Dr Darren Gray (@drdarrengray.bsky.social) reply parent
#100HorrorMoviesin92Days 39 - The Soul Eater (2024) This had more of a crime / police procedural tone than I expected. Some grim subject matter but a good watch.
Dr Darren Gray (@drdarrengray.bsky.social) reply parent
#100HorrorMoviesin92Days 38 - Monster Island (2025) A good solid monster film. I like how the monster is inspired by Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954). #HorrorSky
Dr Darren Gray (@drdarrengray.bsky.social) reply parent
#100HorrorMoviesin92Days 37 - Eli (2019) Well, this film has a little something for everyone. I can’t say more without giving spoilers, but I was entertained. #HorrorSky
Dr Darren Gray (@drdarrengray.bsky.social) reply parent
#100HorrorMoviesin92Days 36 - Off Season (2022) Atmospheric supernatural horror. I love the chapter title cards. #HorrorSky
Dr Darren Gray (@drdarrengray.bsky.social) reply parent
#100HorrorMoviesin92Days 35 - To Thy Rest (2025) Supernatural Finnish hotel horror! I really enjoyed the lead character- an exasperated Glaswegian spiritualist. Finland also looks absolutely stunning, beautiful snow covered trees and forests. #HorrorSky
Dr Darren Gray (@drdarrengray.bsky.social) reply parent
#100HorrorMoviesin92Days 34 - Frontier (s) (2007) Gritty political French horror. It’s French Extremity so it’s grim, uncompromising and deeply unsettling. #HorrorSky
Dr Darren Gray (@drdarrengray.bsky.social) reply parent
Awesome! I shall be definitely checking this out! 😁
Dr Darren Gray (@drdarrengray.bsky.social) reply parent
#100HorrorMoviesin92Days 33 - Vampire Hunter D (1985) This was fun! Great character design and animation on D. Love his big hat, cloak and sword. #HorrorSky

#100HorrorMoviesin92Days 30 - The Psychic (1977) Supernatural murder mystery from Lucio Fulci #HorrorSky
Dr Darren Gray (@drdarrengray.bsky.social)
I went to @mediamuseum.bsky.social in Bradford today! It was great! They have some exhibits about Hammer Studios and Christopher Lee’s fangs for Dracula (1958). I loved it! I also very much enjoyed the Xenomorph and the Dalek! 😁
Dr Darren Gray (@drdarrengray.bsky.social) reply parent
#100HorrorMoviesin92Days 29 - Luz: The Flower of Evil (2019) I absolutely love the visual style of this film. It has a gritty, dreamlike oversaturated look and some stunning shots of nature and the environment. Good stuff. #HorrorSky
Dr Darren Gray (@drdarrengray.bsky.social) reply parent
#100HorrorMoviesin92Day 28 - Itim: The Rites of May (1976) 1970s supernatural horror from the Philippines.
Dr Darren Gray (@drdarrengray.bsky.social) reply parent
#100HorrorMoviesin92Days 27 - Good Boy (2022) A unique Norwegian horror! To say anything else would risk spoilers. #HorrorSky
Dr Darren Gray (@drdarrengray.bsky.social) reply parent
#100HorrorMoviesin92Days 26 - Together (2025) Really enjoyed this! Old school slimy, squelchy, bone-cracking body horror! Lots of fun! 😁 #HorrorSky #Together
Dr Darren Gray (@drdarrengray.bsky.social) reply parent
#100HorrorMoviesin92Days 25 - Lurking Fear (1994) A very silly and loose horror-action adaptation of H. P Lovecraft’s The Lurking Fear (1922). A curious film with Jeffery Combs and Ashley Laurence doing their best to work with some pretty shoddy material. #HorrorSky
Dr Darren Gray (@drdarrengray.bsky.social) reply parent
#100HorrorMoviesin92Days 24 - Uzumaki (2000) Bizarre spiral pattern based horror 🌀 Based on a manga series at the time it has also recently been made into an animated series. #HorrorSky
Dr Darren Gray (@drdarrengray.bsky.social) reply parent
#100HorrorMoviesin92Days 23 - The Devil’s Business (2011) Short horror film (1 hour 9 mins) from Sean Hogan, the writer / director behind last year’s excellent The Haunted Season: To Fire you Come at Last. #HorrorSky
Dr Darren Gray (@drdarrengray.bsky.social) reply parent
#100HorrorMoviesin92Days 22 - Wake (2024) Very small cast and some interesting ideas. #HorrorSky
Dr Darren Gray (@drdarrengray.bsky.social) reply parent
#100HorrorMoviesin92Days 21 - Home Sweet Home: Where Evil Lives (2023) German one shot / one take family horror. I know these one take films use lots of editing tricks but I still find them really creative and impressive. #HorrorSky
Dr Darren Gray (@drdarrengray.bsky.social) reply parent
#100HorrorMoviesin92Days 20 - Blacula (1972) William Marshall is a superb vampire. A great mix of charm and menace. I also highly recommend the excellent documentary Horror Noire: A History of Black Horror (2019) to learn about this film and many others which can be added to watchlists! #HorrorSky
Dr Darren Gray (@drdarrengray.bsky.social)

#100HorrorMoviesin92Days 19 - Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975) This film turned 50 last week. A bit of a controversial choice as there seems to be debate over whether it is a horror or not (I think it is 100%). Either way, it’s a great film and I’m glad I’ve seen it 😁 #HorrorSky
Dr Darren Gray (@drdarrengray.bsky.social)

#100HorrorMoviesin92Days 18 - Fréwaka (2024) Irish horror film almost entirely in Gaelige. I really enjoyed this and shall be checking out director Aislinn Clarke’s debut The Devil’s Doorway (2018). Excellent performance from Clare Monnelly. #HorrorSky #Frewaka
Dr Darren Gray (@drdarrengray.bsky.social) reply parent
#100HorrorMoviesin92Days 17 - Family Dinner (2022) German domestic / family horror. I do particularly like horror films that use the context of an individual staying with the ‘strange’ / estranged relatives or their partner’s family. #HorrorSky
Dr Darren Gray (@drdarrengray.bsky.social) reply parent
#100HorrorMoviesin92Days 16 - The Theatre Bizarre (2011) I love a horror anthology and this has been on the watchlist for a while. Six tales of the macabre, weird and bizarre. #Horror
Dr Darren Gray (@drdarrengray.bsky.social) reply parent
#100HorrorMoviesin92Days 15 - A Dark Song (2016) This was recommended to me when I did this challenge last year but I didn’t get around to watching it. Which was a shame because it’s great! Claustrophobic and intense, I’m glad I managed to catch it this year! #HorrorSky
Dr Darren Gray (@drdarrengray.bsky.social) reply parent
#100HorrorMoviesin92Days 14 - Dead Mail (2024) 80s setting and grainy 80s style exploring dead letter investigations and the dangers of being an independent synthesiser engineer! 😮🎹 #HorrorSky
Dr Darren Gray (@drdarrengray.bsky.social) reply parent
#100HorrorMoviesin92Days 13 - Weapons (2025) I want to avoid giving anybody any spoilers so all I’m going to say is I really liked it! 😁 #HorrorSky

#100HorrorMoviesin92Days 11 - Mind, Body, Spirit (2024) Yoga Horror! 😮 Some interesting ideas combining the paranormal with commentary on self help / fitness social media influencer culture. #HorrorSky
Dr Darren Gray (@drdarrengray.bsky.social) reply parent
#100HorrorMoviesin92Days 10 - The Burning (1981) 80s summer camp slasher! #HorrorSky
Dr Darren Gray (@drdarrengray.bsky.social) reply parent
#100HorrorMoviesin92Days 9 - Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker (1981) 80s Horror! I think this film is known by three different titles and none of them really fit! Good to see Bill Paxton in a small role in this. An unhinged performance from Susan Tyrrell. #HorrorSky
Dr Darren Gray (@drdarrengray.bsky.social) reply parent
#100HorrorMoviesin92Days 8 - Hostile Dimensions (2023) Playful found footage sci-fi horror! I loved the central concept and I had a great time with this! @factionman.bsky.social has created a film that is quirky, imaginative and lots of fun. Check it out!
Dr Darren Gray (@drdarrengray.bsky.social) reply parent

Dr Darren Gray (@drdarrengray.bsky.social) reply parent
#100HorrorMoviesin92Days 5 - Haxan (1922) Silent era horror! I have been wanting to see this after it was featured in Kier-La Janisse’s Woodlands Dark and Days Bewitched and Bryan Fuller’s Queer for Fear series (both excellent!). It’s a strange film and a fascinating watch. #HorrorSky #FilmSky
Dr Darren Gray (@drdarrengray.bsky.social) reply parent
#100HorrorMoviesin92Days 4 - The Surrender (2025) A mix of horror and family drama exploring grief. Impressive full-length directorial debut from Julia Max who also wrote and produced the film. I look forward to seeing what she does next. Great performance from Colby Minifie. #HorrorSky
Dr Darren Gray (@drdarrengray.bsky.social) reply parent

Dr Darren Gray (@drdarrengray.bsky.social) reply parent
#100HorrorMoviesin92Days 2 - Black Sabbath (1963) I had seen ‘The Drop of Water’ story before but I am glad to have finally seen the full film. Boris Karloff in excellent form 😁 #HorrorSky

I liked it. The zombie threat is very much in the background and it is a slow burn interested in symbolism and allegory…but I was ok with that.
