I’ve been cooking the idea of a horror marathon in my head for some time.  While it’s one of my favorite genres, there are plenty of classics and cult films of the horror variety that I’ve yet to experience.  And since it’s the month of October leading up to Halloween, I figured this would be the perfect time.

And so, I present…  31 NIGHTS OF HORROR!  Ooooo!  Scary!

Each night, I will be watching a different horror film from my list and provide a brief write-up on my thoughts.  If you want to follow along, stay tuned around 10-11PM PST each night for another entry in our horror marathon.

However, if you’re interested in following along and participating in the conversation, that would be even better!  Below is the entire schedule for the month of October.  While this calendar is final, please be aware that last-minute changes could possibly occur due to availability of movies or other circumstances.

Also, the majority of these films are available on Netflix Watch Instantly.

That said, I hope you all choose to embark with me on this spooky ride of horror-mania!
