In memoriam 2021
Description:

Every year since my mother’s passing I watch spooky movies in her honor From the month of September to the end of October.

Growing up, my mom and I would watch spooky movies on her days off. This year the theme will be Stephen King, one of her favorite authors, from September 3rd to October 31st. I chose a mix of ones we watched together, to ones I know we’ve read the books together, but came out after her passing. This is by no means a complete list, and may be edited as I go.
