Year 2 of the Merry Horror-tober Fest


The changing leaves of Autumn and the chilly air that makes your hairs stand on end mark the beginning of another year of Horror-tober fest.  I spent some time going over possible picks for this years festivities and am  excited to begin again.  I realized I did not fully complete my posts last year, but am ready to bust them out as quick as I can this year.  Here is a friendly reminder of what the categories are, with an edit or two:

Supernatural Sunday Is almost a little too general, but it was hard to think of something that would fit ghosts, witches, vampires, etc. Anything otherworldly that doesn't necessarily fall into any of the other categories.
Zombday I decided that since zombies have (really, always have been) so popular, they should have their own day. And since they don't really rhyme or alliterate with the other days, they just take over the whole day.
Transcontinental Tuesday This was a hard one to come up with. I wanted a day for Foreign horror movies since they are just as good (and often better) than American, but like zombies, foreign doesn't really fit with any of the days. Hence, transcontinental.
Wacky Wednesday Not all horror movies fit into one genre, and not all are serious. So this one was borne out of a need to fit those odd, so-terrible-they-are-funny, fun and even "childish" movies. A few examples would be; Shaun of the Dead, Hocus Pocus and Troll 2. But none of those will be on this day as I have also created:
Throwback Thursday In which I will watch movies I have previously seen. They may be some of my favorites, as the aforementioned. Or ones I haven't seen in a number of years, even decades, and wish to enjoy again or wonder why I even watched them in the first place. 
Creature-Feature Friday For all things monster and creepy-crawly. 'Nough said. 
Slasher Saturday Also kind of enough in the title. Slasher's make up a large percentage of the horror genre, and this is a day for them all! EDIT: I have a few "Thrillers" on my list that don't really fit into any of the other categories, so I will probably include some on this day as well as on Sunday. All in all, I make the rules and can do whatever I want! 

Strap in boys and ghouls, and let the movie feast-ivities begin!
