As I sit here writing this I’m trying to keep cool in a heatwave
We don’t deal well with heat in England as we’re used to the cold and rain. It was whilst trying to keep cool I’ve also been watching Summer Horror films and I soon realised that I haven’t done a list of my favourite Summer themed Horror films.
