In honor of October, ghost, evil nun demons, witchy woo woo, Michael Myers, demon clowns, Freddie “turn dreams to nightmares” Kruger and the best horror movies and franchises; I decided to share my favorite horror films, franchises and television shows. I’m doing a Horror marathon, I call 31 Days of Horror Movies and TV Shows To Make You Scream. I’m overly excited to say, the Original Scream Queen, none other than Jamie Lee Curtis is on my list for the Halloween franchise or installment.
If you’ve read my past two post, you’re quite aware I love fall. There are so many events occurring. With the heated high temps that the summer brings, fall events are a welcome. I’m out and about in a fall state mind. In pursuit of a life of adventure only available during October and November. In addition, October is the best month for Horror movies and television shows.
Hulu has a category for the month of October called Huluween, I mean there is always a horror section, but for the month of October it is dressed up. I have been on my watch-list binge. It’s only the beginning of the month and I CANNOT stop watching all things horror. Yes, I am the person watching gory movies through their fingers because my hands are covering my eyes and forehead. My binge watch-list of scary or horror movies include individual movies or shows and installments or franchises.
My siblings and I have similar taste for horror, except my brothers love zombie movies. I can’t with zombies. However, my below list includes one TV show and movie for zombies, Fear the Walking Dead and Night of the Living Dead, but not the Walking Dead. Here is a little secret, I cannot get pass the zombies to enjoy the story line or storytelling. I really try, but I give up and my enjoyment is ruined by the zombie. Below, I’m sharing what I’m watching for October. Here we go…
