The Annual, I'll Just Watch One, Lie

October also brings one of horror's most dangerous traditions:

"I'll just watch one."

You know how this works.

You put on one horror movie.

Then another.

Then you discover a movie you haven't seen in years.

Then you start watching interviews with the director.

Then you're looking up behind-the-scenes trivia.

Then you're watching a 47-minute video essay about a character who appears for approximately six minutes.

Suddenly it's 3:18 in the morning.

You're sitting in complete darkness.

Your television is displaying the words:

ARE YOU STILL WATCHING?

And you're forced to admit that Netflix has become concerned about your welfare.

This is fine.

October understands.

This October is giving us 5 weekends to experience as much fright, fear and fun as we possibly can. I started October 1st with a horror banger (not the sexual kind, well... sort of) of epic proportions! Review of that coming very soon. This spooky month I'm opening my dark soul to new terror and horror experiences in any and all ways, breaking my normal chains of comfort to douse myself with new and unique haunting experiences. Tonight Oct. 2nd, I get to experience The Shining on the theater big screen for the first time! I will make this month more memorable than any before, I hope you guys do too.
