Welcome to werewolf central you bunch of furry beasts. Do you remember the great werewolf epidemic of 1981? Yeah, it was real. That's why there are like 20 werewolf movies that year. Oh and all the demon attacks too. It's a fact. Also, make sure there are no sharp objects when demons are nearby. Just some friendly advice. xoxo

Okay, I better stop here or I'll just keep going. Slashers like The Funhouse, My Bloody Valentine, and The Prowler were great. Then there was.... okay I'm cutting myself off so this entry doesn't take me 10 hours to do. Enjoy creeps. See you tomorrow for 1982. xoxo
