10 'Anniversary Films' (Release years end in an 8, excluding 2018): Martin (1978) Sauna (2008) The Spider Labyrinth (1988) Left Bank (2008) Iguana (1988) Long Weekend (1978) Twisted Nerve (1968) Yokai Monsters: Spook Warfare (1968) The Fall of the House of Usher (1928) I Accuse (1938)

I always try to limit these lists to having only a few rewatches; in this case, 5.

So, it's that time of the year again! The time when I binge on nothing but horror films, all day every day. Thanks as always, to Cinemonster, for putting this together.
