Welcome to my 2nd Annual Shocktober Helloween Spooktacular Extravaghoulza Skelebration and Film Festerval (or Movie Marrowthon)! I know its a mouthful, but I paid the Cryptkeeper to come up with a name and that desiccated dick charged me by the word, so we’re keeping it.

Last October I actually fulfilled all my self-challenges and watched an absurd number of horror movies, but it didn't leave me time to review a lot of them. See last year's reviews here. These goals are to challenge me to go outside my comfort zone and watch a larger variety of horror movies, and also to help narrow down my viewing decisions when I get paralyzed by options. This time I will try to update my progress on this post. I was hoping to to write more full reviews this year, but it looks like I will be working 7 days a week thru October so I will just be linking my shorter reviews on letterboxd below.

Any movie I watch can count once in each of these three categories to make this workable.

A Hundred Years of Horror - Watch at least one horror movie from every decade:

1920s

1930s - Mad Love (1935)

1940s- Dead of Night (1945)

1950s

1960s - Black Sunday (1960)

1970s - Countess Dracula (1971), A Haunted Turkish Bathhouse (1975)

1980s- Invaders from Mars (1986), Deadtime Stories (1986)

1990s- Night of the Demons III (1997), Erotic Ghost Story II (1991)

2000s

2010s - The Moth Diaries (2011)
