Oktober Horror Fest

I have not been faithful to this blog already, but I'm going to make it up this month. While many cable channels have about a week's worth of cramming horror movies down your throat at the end of October, I'm going to dedicate the whole month to a slow, steady digestion of the best horror movies out there. Each of the 31 days in October will be dedicated to a different horror movie, which I will watch and post something (review, praise, fun facts, further viewing, etc.) about each one, each day. This is by no means a countdown to the best, nor is it a list of the best in any order. I have chosen many of my favorites, but I also want this to be a broadening experience for my horizons as well, so there will be at least a week of movies I haven't seen. Below I have posted a schedule. Hope it suits you... It suits me. For those of you who actually read this: try and watch some of these when I do and respond to what I say about them. I know you can't watch all of them; I'm going to have a hard time myself. With perseverance and that most powerful of Captain Planet ring powers (heart!...it comes with a monkey) we will drudge through this most awesome of tasks.
