31 Days of Asian Horror: 2024

Despite my better judgment and severe lack of free time (and currently no internet at home), I’ve decided to go big this October with the return of a project I did back in 2021, 31 Days of Asian Horror. Every day this October I’ll be posting nothing but posts dedicated to Asian Horror. For the most part that means lots of reviews, but I tried to create a varied list of content. Last time I themed the days, and have decided to keep that tradition alive for this round only warping the days a bit. I had a lot of fun planning and writing posts the last time I did this, so I’m hopeful that this time around it will be just as fun. If you are into horror (or at least want some spooky content this Halloween season), be sure to check back periodically.

SCHEDULE:

+ Sunday Pairings: I’m bringing back my very poor neglected Pairing Series, highlighting movies that have remakes and comparing the two.
+ Music Mondays: Whether highlighting a group that has a spooky concept or talking about idols in spooky things, Mondays are designated to music and horror in some way.
+ Tuesday Classics: Each Tuesday I’ll be focusing on movies that I consider essentials that should be on everyone’s radar.
+ Misc Wednesdays: Since it’s the middle of the week and I will need a bit of a breather from posting every day, Wednesdays will be a little more relaxed, focusing on fun lists with lots of recs to keep your plan to watch lists full, or anything else I’m feeling on a whim.
+ Anime Thursdays: I’ll be reviewing horror animes every Thursday. I don’t watch as much anime these days so it’ll be fun picking up some new content.
+ Folklore Fridays: If you’ve been on the blog for a while you know that I’m pretty into folklore and mythology. I don’t get to dive into it as much as I want but every Friday I’ll be exploring some movies and/or shows that are tied to it and giving more background into what makes the story.
+ Drama Saturdays: Reserved for the weekend, Saturdays will highlight Asian dramas that have spooky and/or horror elements to them.

I’ve been planning this for a while, and am really excited to be doing this project again. It’s a huge time suck, but I genuinely really like talking about Asian horror. I’ve also been neglecting the blog for far too long, and wanted to breathe some life into it, and what a perfect way to do that - on a genre that generally focuses on the dead.
