Kult Watchlist

 

Here's a list of movies and series I watched and found either spot-on Kultesque, or at least roughly Kult-adjacent, and thus in some aspect(s) inspirational for Horror RPGing. 

This post will naturally expand as the Illusion of Time progresses. 

I'll list them by year of release, except for sequels, prequels, spin-offs etc, which I'll keep together as a franchise or series (but still listing the year).

That's it, just titles. 

No reviews, no spoilers, no value judgment.

Suffice it to say that, while not everyone may see all the same sparks in all the same movies, every entry on this list has given me at least something that I wouldn't like to miss in my ongoing quest for dark enlightenment.
