I can’t believe that time of year has almost come around again. We’re about to hit October, and that means that the Halloween season is upon us. Like what a lot of horror fans will be doing, I’ll be spending the whole month of October watching nothing but horror films as part of their 31 Days Of Horror viewing lists. However, when it comes to mine, I like to do something different. If you have been following my work here on SuperMarcey.com, you know that unlike most horror fans watch at least one horror film per day from their lists, I double the amount of ones on mine by raising it to 62 instead. Yes, that’s right. I’ll be doing a double feature of two horror films each day throughout October. I always have a great time doing this every year ever since I first started doing it all the way back in 2012. However, I do have some rules that I follow in regards to which 62 horror films I put on it on the list. Which are…
1: All the horror films have to be ones that I have never seen before.
2: 31 of the films have to be older ones made before the year 2010 while other the 31 films have to be recent ones released in the past few years.
3: Sequels are not allowed to be included. Only stand alone films instead.
These three rules definitely help with both putting and narrowing down what horror films I want to tackle for October. The end result is another great mixture of different horror films. For each double feature, I’ve made sure to pair two films together that share a common link with each other. Whether they be from the same sub-genre, share a similar story or thematic elements etc. I’ve covered all the bases of what type of horror films I’m watching this year: vampires, zombies, giallos, supernatural, slashers, psychological, horror comedies, monsters, sci-fi horror, werewolves, Italian horror, folk horror, and so much more. Outside of the 62 horror films that I picked, I’ll also be adding a couple of bonus films on certain days if they are being released in cinemas, making their premieres on streaming services and screening at a fim festival. However, my official 62 films that I picked for the list will be the ones that I will prioritize the most. The bonus films on the aren’t hugely essential since they’re more of a extra film to watch on if I have the time to spare to watch on the day. Now, will I be able to watch them all? We’ll have to see. So without further ado, here’s my complete final list of every horror film I’ll be viewing for the Halloween season this year.
