27 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 27, enjoy the following picks!

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

THE GRUDGE



I still make that "uhhhhhh" clicky, throat sound today when I feel a little extra creepy (so, you know, pretty much every day). This one's got atmosphere, jumps, and story. A great Halloween flick!

Available on: Look for it to play on AMC

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

28 DAYS LATER



I love a zombie movie with a message, and this has a political story, too. It's terrifying, in both aspects.

Available on: HBO

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

BLAIR WITCH PROJECT



When I first saw this, it scared the hell out of me. We didn't have access to the internet in any way similar to what we have today. I left the theater wondering if it was actually real. That's the power of a good found-footage flick, and I still appreciate it today.

Available on: Xfinity on Demand
