This is going to be tough. For some categories, there are so many to choose from…and in other categories, I just don’t know very much. Killer animal (day 20)? I can’t think of a single…oh wait. I got one for that. Horror film in which you perfer the edited version over the director’s cut (day 24)? That one is going to take a while to figure out. Good thing it’s a few weeks away. Film I most relate to? Man, that’s day 2! I don’t know if I can think that fast!

If you’re going to play along, post a comment here and on Dollar Bin Horror with a link to your blog so we can all follow along. I know DBH will post every day, and there is a comment on their entry for a blog called Midnight Book Girl that plans to post a film each day.

My day 1 post is coming soon…as soon as I figure out what it is.
