Ever since I started this blog, I thought it would be fun to do a 31 days of Halloween tribute all through October, with posts about everything from ghost stories to vampires to costume ideas to candy. And I'm going to finally attempt that this year. I hope I don't utterly botch this, and I hope you enjoy it! If you're looking for more of a specific topic (movies, costumes, stories, etc.), please let me know in the comments, and I'll try to provide more of what you're asking for :)

I love classic horror movies. There's something so fun about sitting down with a big bowl of popcorn to enjoy a film that is really not so much scary, as atmospheric and creepy. Classics like Frankenstein and Dracula readily jump to mind. And, as you might notice, they're both included on this list. However, there are a few other...gems on here as well.
These films precede the rating system. And as such, they can get pretty...creepy, messed up, you get the idea. I've seen three of them, and have not been emotionally scarred, so I'm sure you'll be fine (although, Dracula, Frankenstein, and The Invisible Man are some of the mainstream ones, so who knows?) Watch a few, let me know what you think. These might be a fun alternative for Halloween movie parties; instead of conjuring up scares with Nightmare on Elm Street or The Exorcist, perhaps you can regale your guests with The Mask of Fu Manchu and Doctor X!
Great idea! I'm excited for this month now!
ReplyDeleteThat is a really interesting list. I'm definitely going to check out a few of those. Have you seen an old silent film called The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari? I saw it a few years ago and it was really good and pretty creepy.
Yay! I'm so glad someone besides me is excited about this, haha :) And I have not seen The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, but I love silent films and classic horror, so I will definitely be checking it out :D
