Thirty-One Days O’Horror Returns Next Month!
Thirty-One Days O’Horror is quite possibly my favorite blog category. Over the last couple of years I’ve focused on posting once per day during the month of October with some horror or Halloween related topic. 2019 saw me watch thirty-two classic Universal Monsters films. 2020 was a tad lighthearted thanks to its focus on Disney horror fare from films and television shows to theme park attractions. 2021 is going to be brutal. In fact, you could say that it’s going to pound terror into your hearts! Yep, kids, your old pal Ken is going to watch thirty-one Hammer Horror films for the month of October!
I’ll be taking a look at some classic Hammer films such as The Curse of the Werewolf (1961) and The Mummy (1959). I’ll also review a few of Hammer’s more recent productions such as Wake Wood (2011) and Let Me In (2010). I might even slip in a few choice episodes of Hammer’s 1980 anthology series Hammer House of Horror.
Of course, no series about Hammer Horror would be complete without mentioning at least a few of the films in the unending battle between Dracula and Doctor Van Helsing. Portrayed by Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, respectively, this dynamic duo would appear in numerous Hammer productions both individually and with one another.
I will do my best to post each and every day in October. If I manage to do so, this will be the third year in a row that I’ll have celebrated Halloween all month long. I’d love to know if any of my readers would like me to review specific Hammer films. I’m open to pretty much anything as long as it falls in their horror category. Let me know in the comments if you want me to take a look at anything specific.
Be sure to join me next month as I take a deep dive into the horror of Hammer Productions. I hope that you enjoy each post. Like and share the ones that you love and let me know how you feel about the films as well. As always, thanks for reading my post. Halloween is almost here!
