23 of 31 Days of Halloween

I was challenged by my local Barnes & Noble to develop a list of 31 horror movies to watch, one a day for October. My only problem is that I couldn't pick just one.

For October 23, enjoy the following picks!

Horror Author Joe Chianakas pick-of-the-day:

THE SHINING



I can't imagine NOT having this on my list, although I typically save it for the first snow storm of the year. Yes, I love watching this movie it snows hard enough to trap you in the house. Isn't that the way it should be done?

Regardless, it's a classic, and if you're one of the few people who hasn't seen it, WATCH IT. Stephen King actually hates this movie adaptation, and there's a long story there. I love the book AND I love this movie.

Available on: Xfinity On Demand

Rabbit in Red pick-of-the-day (a movie referenced in my horror series):

CANDYMAN



I love this movie. Say his name five times. Go ahead-- I dare you! Great music, great atmosphere, creepy settings, bees, hooks, more! What's not to love?

Available on: Starz/Encore

The Magnificent Movie Emporium pick (join the movie group by clicking the link if you enjoy discussing your favorite movies!):

ZOMBIELAND



Fantastic choice here. Twinkies, fun "rules" to survive, the coolest cameo EVER, and just a fun story: Zombieland is easily one of the best horror comedies.
