Custom Movies For My Followers!



I think I’ve gotten to know many of you quite well through the blog world. One of my favorite things is to tell someone I know about a movie I think would particularly be one they would enjoy. Hooking people up with the right movie is a fine art. I’m going to try to hook up some of my regular commenters with the movie they “must see.” Let me know if you’ve seen it or if you end up seeing it. I’d love to see how accurately I picked a movie for you. Mind you, these are all of the horror/SciFi/Fantasy genre.

NOTE: If for some crazy reason, I didn’t get regular commenters on my list, please let me know and I’ll hook you up with the right movie for you.
