Kind of silly? Sure. Did I really have time to do this? Nope. Nevertheless, decided to give it a shot. Some of the movies I watched, most of which were freely available on various cable channels, were terrible. Others were outstanding. Best of all, doing this provided me with a great opportunity to see many horror classics that I had never gotten around to seeing. I have to admit that there was a downside. Even for a horror fan like me, cramming 31 movies into a month proved to be a bit much. At the end of the month, I was tired of watching movies.
Since then, I have usually watched quite a few horror films in October. I have done so at my own pace without trying to hit any particular number, and this has made the process far more enjoyable. I have even written about some of them here in previous Octobers.
I am not planning to write a similar series of posts this year. I know I have gone into at least one previous October saying the same thing and ended up doing it anyway; however, I am fairly confident that I will not do so this year. What makes this October different from the last two is that I never stopped watching horror movies as October of 2017 drew to a close. Since I enjoy them as much as I do, I figured there was no reason to confine them to October. I have been watching them year-round and even writing about them periodically.
