100 Days of Horror 2023: The First 50

I took a year off from this last year to do the standard “31 Days of Horror,” but I’m back again with a (let’s face it, kind of insane) challenge of watching a new-to-me horror movie every single day for 100 days, leading up October 31st! To allow myself some grace, I am including both

However Val’s joy is short-lived, as she soon starts seeing strange

In DEVIL’S WORKSHOP (2022), Directed by Chris von Hoffmann, struggling actor Clayton (Timothy Granaderos; that I just saw in WHO INVITED THEM) can’t deal with the fact that his acting class rival, Donald (Emile Hirsch) gets every part he auditions for even though he’s a terrible actor.
