Today is my friends birthday! His name is Eli. The last time we saw each other, he told me he was getting into horror movies and asked me for my top 10. We haven’t seen each other in a year or two and I just finished the list. Because how can I ever finish a list like this?
Every once in a while, I would go Into the notes app of my phone to work on it. I still don’t know if it’s done, but as a birthday present to Eli, here it is!
Oh, and I obviously couldn’t narrow it down to 10. I had to break them down by genre. Also, I added rubbers ups for most.
Also, I know people are going to disagree with me on a bunch of these!
