Almost That Time!!! HALLOWEEN TIME!

*breathes in* Do you guys smell that? No, not that pumpkin spice crap, I’m talking about the smell of new costumes and…wait, does Halloween even have a scent? Probably not. I tried!

Boils and ghouls, we are almost to the witching hour of All Hallow’s Eve! I can feel the excitement moving through me, but no one is more excited than my little monster. Of course he loves Halloween only because there’s free candy involved that he didn’t have to work for, so there’s that. Why I enjoy Halloween is rather simple: horror movies.

Yes, yes! The movies! The blood, the carnage, the guts, the blood curdling screams, the crawling and walking dead! Vampires, witches, zombies, wolves, monsters from the deep, and more! That is my favorite thing about Halloween and has been since I’ve been allowed to trick or treat. The movies that get played on TV were always amongst the highlights of Halloween for me. I’m sure I am NOT alone in this (I know I’m not, I’m actually in a few groups geared towards thi—nevermind).

My favorite movies to enjoy were always zombies films. You can’t get me to not watch “Night of the Living Dead”, “Dawn of the Dead”, and “Land of the Dead” back to back. I am certain I’ve watched “Dawn of the Dead” more times than any other movie that I own. I watch it even when Halloween is nowhere near coming around! My love for horror runs deep, thanks to my Gran Gran (grandmother, may she rest peacefully). She introduced me to many great shows, including “The Outer Limits”, “Tales from the Dark Side” and, of course, “Tales from the Crypt”.

I’ve watched 80s slasher films (looking at you, Jason Vorhees and Freddy Krueger) on up to super gore remakes (“Evil Dead” remake was….nuts). I still cannot get enough. Although I enjoy these films all year long, Halloween just makes it all the more special!

What are some of your favorite horror films to feast your eyes on when Halloween comes around? Any at all? Share with me!
