Originally, I was aiming for a lot more movies. However, I was laid up for 12 days unable to even sit, let alone watch movies with people. As such, we had a tight crunch near the end (as we only ran 14 days), which led to The Precipice Grindhouse's 1st 2 Quadruple Features. But here are the screening totals.

Single Film = 1

Double Features = 8

Triple Features = 2

Quadruple Features = 2

There were eight 1st time films for me personally, and one of them truly shook me to the core (Dread).

Looking at Decades, the 80s just barely edged out 00s and 10s.

1 film from the 60s

1 film from the 70s

9 films from the 80s

5 films from the 90s

8 films from the 00s

7 films from the 10s

I do apologize for not keeping track of the body counts, amount of genitals shown, amputations, gallons of blood, ect. Maybe next year's edition I'll keep track.

Now I must prepare for Season 2. Yes, I know, not counting the October Ritual as a season is insane, but it does have it's own format versus the seasons. We will return in mid-November (exact date TBD) for more as we delve into a 10 week trip of 20 films. The good, the bad, and the guilty pleasures of Horror on Amazon Prime will be explored.

Until then, we are all on the Precipice.

Edit:
I have added the body count for each film.
