I’ve always been one of those people who absolutely loved Halloween but was also scared of my own shadow. Ironic, right? The first “scary” movie I ever saw was Halloween and it terrified me. Ever since then, I’ve made it my mission to watch a movie that scares me. This year, I’m watching the 2018 Halloween.
