Last year, we made a trip to Scarecrow Video in Seattle, Washington. There are over 125,000 movies or more — who can keep track — in the store. You can check out the video of it right here — I used some giallo music so you wouldn’t have to hear me swear and evoke the name of the Creator over and over again.

On that trip, I learned about the Scarecrow Challenge — 31 days of psychotronic movies — and I made it! Doing the Scarecrow Challenge — you can relive mine on our site or on Letterboxd — taught me a ton about movies and inspired plenty of further explorations. I can only hope for the same this year.

Here’s the list. Maybe you’ll join me and do your own challenge!
