I’ve always thought watching a horror movie a day through the month of October would be a great way to spend a month.  Have I ever done it?

No.

Until now.  Thanks to the Stephen King forums for a bit of inspiration, I’ve decided to watch and review 31 horror films, one for every day in October.  Unlike the much better folks over on the forums though, I’m not doing any rules.  Rules?  We don’t need no stinkin’ rules!  I’d just ignore ’em anyway, so why bother?

Maybe a few ground rules, so folks know what to expect:

* Horror comes in all forms, from the hideously icky to the hilarious.  I’ll be all over the map.

* Sequels are cool.  Remakes are cool.  If they suck?  Oh lawds yes, I’ll tell you.

* Veering off the beaten track (read: the best & brightest of this awesomeness of a genre) will be something to strive for, but “comfort horror” may win out.

* If it’s a movie I love, or have seen before, I must watch it again.  No drawing on what I remember.  I’m already regretting typing this ground rule, to be honest.

* Just because I went all sparkly with the so-obviously-homemade banner, doesn’t mean I’ll be reviewing Twilight.  But don’t count it out, who knows when I’ll need a little sparkle motion?  (And if you have never read these recaps, seriously?  SERIOUSLY?  Do so.  Now would be good.  They are what I want to be when I grow up. Which means what I’ll be never.)

Wanna join in on the fun?  Gimme some suggestions, and/or tell me what you’re watching.  (Prepares Bluto voice) Who’s with me?  Yaaaaaah!
