The rules

One night. One reel. One take.

Thirty-one nights, five decades, no fillers. Each film earns a spoiler-aware write-up after the credits — jump scares, slow burns, and everything in between.

  • 31 nights · Oct 1–31, 2026
  • Decades: 80s · 90s · 00s · 10s · 20s
  • Rotating eras so no week feels stuck in one decade
  • Reviews drop after each watch
