🎃 INTRODUCTION: THE STARS HAVE BLOODSTAINS
Horror villains aren’t born—they’re written in the stars. Your zodiac sign doesn’t just predict your coffee order or your toxic ex… it dictates how you’d butcher idiots in a slasher flick.
So grab your weapon of choice (machete, cursed locket, tax paperwork), and let’s explore which horror icon you are based on your birthday.
Spoiler: Leos are the final girl AND the killer. Of course they are.
