October is finally upon us! While most of us watch horror year-round, this month is special for horror fans as it’s our time to shine. As such, we decided that it would be fun if each member of The Horror Syndicate puts together their watch-list of films for the month based on our own individual preferences of what gets us into the Halloween spirit!
Considering how many films and different sub-genres exist, it’s safe to assume that we’ll all have some wildly different lists. For me, the Fall/Halloween season is about creature features — going back to my childhood love of the classic Universal Monster films — for others, it may be slashers, or ghosts. Regardless, there’s no wrong answer here.
You can check out my watch-list below:
October 1st: Frankenstein (1931)
October 2nd: The Bride of Frankenstein (1935)
October 3rd: The Son of Frankenstein (1939)
October 4th: Dracula (1931)
