In the spirit of the upcoming holiday season, the next week on Living With a Nerd is going to be a week of horror!  Each day, we are going to review one of our five favourite horror movies.  They will be posted in order of release…I swear this wasn’t intentional, but the five films were released one year after another:  1977, 1978, 1979, 1980, and 1981.
