My first pass on movies and TV episodes for spooky project 2023 when I absorb too much horror/spooky stuff that’s new-to-me in October. I also randomize it for the satisfying contrast of randomly jumping around to different points in time.

For movies, bold dates are weekends, bold titles are scheduled in a theater, and bold directors are women-directed movies. I also try and sprinkle in a few movies from each decade and from outside the west if I can find them.

And TV episodes, well, that’s just my usual rotation of animated sitcoms that I enjoy but which I don’t watch at any other time of year.

Next up I need to sort out short stories and comics. I’ve got a big pool of them from researching in past years so it’s just a matter of selecting material from each decade (which stretches further back for literature of course) and the usual extra effort it takes to find stuff that isn’t from white men in the west.
