Don't Watch at Night is about to turn ONE YEAR OLD! And in preparation for that, Ron and Val are spending the month of June taking a look back at some of the movies and books they consumed in this first year. For Valerie, some of her favorite moments on the show have been when films or books have compelled the sisters to do deeper dives on the history and, in some cases, folklore that inspires contemporary horror both in cinema and literature. More to come this month + all NEW film discussions and one year celebrations in July!
