Eyes Without a Face
Starting the month of October this year was a little different, that being that I was homebound for a majority of the time due to COVID-19. I had always said I wanted to have a movie marathon every past October but now I really had the chance to sit down and figure out what movies to watch throughout the month of October. For the first day of October I chose, Les Yeux Sans Visage aka Eyes Without a Face co-written and directed by Georges Franju.

Hocus Pocus Was Not a Halloween Movie
Every October, I like to sit down and watch old Halloween movies. Yesterday's pick was Hocus Pocus (1993). In my adulthood, I found myself laughing at parts of the film I'd seen a million times. I always remembered that no matter how many times you watch something, you'll still see something new you didn't see/realize the first time. This statement is still valid for me.

The Thing (1982) - A Movie Review
How do we know who is human? Trust is a tough thing to come by. The Thing was released to theaters in 1982. A team of researchers in Antarctica encounters a deadly shapeshifting alien. This entity assumes the appearance of its victims. In a battle of trust, any of the scientists could be the monster.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
The award for best horror film goes to: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. I am often asked, "What is a Halloween movie that you watch every year, without fail?" A more common way of phrasing the same question might be, "Which is your favorite Halloween movie?" Since Halloween is my favorite holiday and one thing I love to do is watch scary movies the whole month of October, that really is a tough question to answer, since there are so very many of them! Sure, there are some stinkers, but there are so many good ones! One that I must watch every single year though, is Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, starring Lily James and Sam Riley with Bella Heathcote, Ellie Bamber, Millie Brady, Suki Waterhouse, Douglas Booth and Sally Phillips. The entire cast is absolutely stellar, but Game of Thrones fans will be thrilled to see Lena Heady and Charles Dance together again, as well! The cast is only one of many terrific reasons I keep coming back to this movie again and again, over the past four years and do not see an end in sight.

A Nightmare on Elm Street is scarier than you remember
Remember when Johnny Depp was a serious actor and on a roll to make a respectable name for himself? Yeah, me neither. But I do remember the movie of his that made me a hardcore horror genre fan: A 1984 classic, A Nightmare on Elm Street.

The most terrifying movie, Signs
Once October first hits, it is officially spooky season. It happens to be one of my favorite months of the year. Not only is there beautiful weather and the changing of seasons, but its the month full of spooks, supernatural, all paranormal and everything mystical. Some would say it is magical. We see the tree leaves go from the gorgeous green, to spicy reds, wispy yellows, crunchy browns and then to the bare trees that look like they are going to creep down to pick you up with their prickly finger like branches. It becomes difficult to distinguish the dead from the living. Not only trees but all life. Is that a zombie I see in the distance or just a human in costume? Is that a cute dog or a wolf ready to pounce? Only you will find out. October is best spent watching your favorite horror films with your favorite people or alone under your blanket. There are so many films worthy of watching this month. One comes to my mind more than others. It is a tale full of thrills and wonder. It begins with mystery and the changing of the global mindset, which is quite unnerving within itself. To have such a great event occur that changes the way everyone on Earth, all 8 billion minds, shifted to a new and terrifying unknown wondrous world. All because first contact was made with extraterrestrials. The one movie to watch every Halloween season is Signs.

You're Next: The Anti-Horror Film
Have you ever asked the question, what would happen if someone competent was in a horror movie? I mean how many times have you yelled at the screen, “Don’t go in there!”

A Dark Superhero Movie: Why is The Crow the Best Horror film?
For the past twenty-two years, I’ve seen lots of horror movies and I have favorites that have reasons why they are my favorite. For example, The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1976) is my favorite horror cult movie for its characters and its plot. The Nightmare on Elm Street (1984-2010) franchise is my favorite slasher film and Freddy Krueger is my favorite character in all of the horror genre. Cannibal Holocaust (1985) was a movie that will gross me out and a movie I will only watch once. The Saw (2004-2017) Franchise has the best plot twist ending out of all the horror movies I’ve seen. The Frankenstein creature, which is based on the novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, was a character I related to growing up and even now because of my diagnosis of Autism at a young age and being left out or rejected for who I was. The exact feeling the creature had once he was brought to life by Dr. Frankenstein. I can continue with more movies and why they are so special, however, we would be here for a while if I were to do that.

The Shining: a Timeless Masterpiece of Horror
The axe strikes the door again and Wendy Torrance lets out a shriek of terror, her trembling hands clutching a knife. Wood splinters and Jack Torrance (devoted husband and father) presses his face against the gaping wound in the bathroom door. “Here’s Johnny!”

5 Underappreciated J-Horror Films
Well, it's October again and that means that Halloween is on the way. I did a thing last year where, in the weeks leading up to Halloween, I wrote a series of horror-related lists and reviews. I wanted to do something in the same vein this year and what better way than to return to my flagship series?
