Halloween Horror Movie Month Part III
by justin-m-sipes | created - 03 Oct 2012 | updated - 03 Oct 2012 | PublicSince October 2009, I have been dedicating the month of October to watching horror movies. My goal is to watch one a day. The past couple of years I have eclipsed the 31 mark by midway through the third week, but I keep on watching usually finishing with Ghostbusters on Halloween evening. This is running list of movies for 2011. You will see that I have varied tastes and try to see a little bit of everything in the realm of horror. As you can imagine I have seen A LOT of horror movies during these four installments, so I am going to try and back track and add those movies to separate lists (Part I, Part II, and Part IV).
