Welcome to October – aka Halloween month!
Since Halloween is both my favorite holiday and Viki’s (from “Monster Girl“), I thought we’d have some fun. To celebrate the holiday, I love to watch 31 horror/Halloween movies during the month of October. I watch horror movies year round, but I really ramp it up during this month. This year I thought I would offer my own Halloween viewing schedule for your enjoyment. You’ve probably seen your friends doing those “31 movies in 31 nights” challenges, and this is basically my list of some of the best movies to watch during Halloween. You can also follow me on Instagram @valmakesmovies to see daily posts of what I watched!
We start out with something light in “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” to really set the tone for the season ahead. Think you can hang with all 31? Remember: When you call it a night, be sure to check under the bed and in the closet, for you never know what might be waiting in the shadows. Muahahahahaha!
[Note: Not all of these are kid-friendly, so please be advised.]
