My spooky month challenge! Horror is a special genre, and watching scary movies all month makes October one of my favorite times of year. Creating this list was half the fun. Watching this vast array of horror, with some old favorites and some new to me, will be the other half of the fun. And reviewing, reading reviews and discussing will be the 3rd half of the fun (I’ve spent too long counting up movies. I can’t do maths any more).
