Thirty-One Days O’Horror!

Get Ready!

For the first time ever, yours truly will be embarking on a quest that will see him facing off against some of the best and worst horror films ever screened for audiences!  I’ve decided to challenge myself to watch thirty-one horror films and blog about each and every one of them for thirty-one straight days!

I’ll be including classics such as The Wolf Man with Lon Chaney, Jr. and Bela Lugosi’s Dracula as well as more recent films such as Curse of Chucky and The Woman In Black.  I’ll throw in some campier fare like Little Dead Rotting Hood and Abominable, as well as spooky family treats like Nightmare Before Christmas and The Haunted Mansion.

I also plan on revisiting films from my youth and my college years such as Sleepaway Camp, The Craft, Children of the Corn, and The Monster Squad.  I’m hoping to throw the recent It film into the fray, but that particular film isn’t guaranteed just yet.  I have a few days off of work coming up and I might manage to squeeze that particular film into the list.

As I watch each film, I’ll post a review of it afterwards.  I’ll briefly discuss the plot and then go into whatever catches my fancy about the film.  As of right now, my list primarily includes films that I’ve already viewed but a few will be new to my eyes.

Here is a list of eighteen films that I will definitely watch.  These films are not listed in the order that I plan to view them.

1. The Wolf Man (1941)
2. Dracula (1931)
3. Little Dead Rotting Hood (2016)
4. The Woman In Black (2012)
5. Ravenous (1999)
6. The Craft (1996)
7. The Haunted Mansion (2003)
8. Sleepaway Camp (1983)
9. Curse of Chucky (2013)
10. Abominable (2006)
11. The Monster Squad (1987)
12. Sleepy Hollow (1999)
13. Children of the Corn (1984)
14. Wes Craven’s New Nightmare (1994)
15. The Descent (2005)
16. Interview With The Vampire (1994)
17. Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992)
18. Wolf Cop (2014)

As you can easily see, that’s not thirty-one films.  I plan on adding more soon, but I’m not going to tell you what they are because I’ve gotta squeeze a few surprises into the fray.  To whet your appetite, though, here’s a list of films that will potentially make the list.  If you have any suggestions, feel free to list them in the comments.

Starting October 1st, I’m going to be hitting y’all with a new post every day for thirty-one straight days.  I might get scared.  I might need a friend to come hang out with me and hold my hand.  Heck, I might have free beer!  Hold on tight, kids, October is going to be wild!

 

As always, thanks for reading.  Like I said earlier, if you have any suggestions for films, let me know.  I’ll definitely try to add them to the list.  Oh, and I might throw in a few surprises as well like a double feature or special features reviews!
