Countown to Halloween
Halloween has always been my favorite holiday - as a kid for candy and costumes, as an adult for, well - for the exact same reasons. The only major difference in my celebration now and then is the ridiculous number of horror movies I watch throughout the month of October (and the adult beverages I might consume, but that's another story). I'm going to write about some of my favorites a little later this month.
There aren't a ton of horror fans here at Amazon Movies & TV (to these misguided haters I say - have you ever seen Dead Alive? Lord of the Ring's Peter Jackson and one of the BEST MOVIES EVER). So, there's only a handful of us who'll be writing and getting excited about all the bloody, gory, terrifying greatness that you should be marathoning this month (and getting for crazy cheap over at our Halloween Store). Because our numbers are semi-limited, we've solicited the Horror experts over at Bloody-Disgusting.com to share lists of their hands down favorite horror flicks.
They'll be posting each Friday this month, so if you love horror or find yourself intrigued but aren't sure where to jump in, make sure to check back each Friday in November, including the last one - Halloween!
And hey, while you're here - what are you going to watch to celebrate this year?

It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

It's all about the Carpenter catalog ever year. John Carpenter.
I'll start off with The Fog (the original... not the craptacular remake)... then over to The Thing (the remake... not the craptacular original)... then I wrap it up with Halloween (the original... not the craptacular remake... Hey look! A pattern!).
