31 Days of Horror – October 8th – “Barbarian”

First of all, I’m wildly aware that I’m late to this party. No, this isn’t one of those “Whaaat? You haven’t seen that??” kind of movies. Barbarian came out last year but everybody went nuts for it. I remember being on TIkTok and everyone in the movie community, especially within the world of horror movies, was going nuts for this movie. It developed this shroud of mystery around it as …

31 Days of Horror – October 7th – “The Hound of the Baskervilles”

I must say that this was certainly not a planned stop on my Octoberian adventure. This was more a product of circumstance. As a father of 2 I was looking for something I could count towards my progression of horror that was also safe for at least one of my children to watch with me. My youngest is notorious for “crapping out like an old fart” as my Uncle Greg …

31 Days of Horror – October 6th – “The Boogeyman”

After a lighthearted romp in a comedy horror cardboard labyrinth, I figured it was time to go with something far more traditional when it comes to spooky season.

31 Days of Horror – October 5th – “Dave Made a Maze”

First and foremost I’m going to defend this selection as it falls in the category of Horror movies on Prime Video. I never really outlined what constitutes a “Horror” movie when I started this endeavor a few days ago which I suppose bears some resolution. As this isn’t really a terribly formal affair, I’m operating fairly loosely in all this. There probably won’t be a lot of conjecture as to …

31 Days of Horror – October 1st – “Magic” (1978)

I forget when this movie officially came on my radar but I feel like it’s been more recent than not, probably within the last few years or so. This one caters to one of those more specific kinds of “fears” though not in a straightforward kind of manner. “Magic” is all about a relatively young Anthony Hopkins finding his career path as a fledgling magician who adopts a comedic ventriloquist …

31 Days of Horror!

Ok so I’ve got a little catching up to do and I’ve just decided to do this on a whim. Being a part of the growing MovieTok community on TikTok I’ve seen a number of people leading up to “Spooky Season” advertising different personalized versions of a 31 days of Horror. It’s probably not that hard to sus out what this means. 31 days in October leading up to the …
