31 Days of Horror Part 3!!

Charles — Mon, 28 Sep 2015 23:07:39 +0000

Hello again everyone! For the past two years, I’ve watched a different horror film each night for the month for October and it was such a blast that now I’m back for Part 3!!

Same rules as the previous years: Classics mixed with lesser known films, all organized chronologically by their release date, with at least one film from each decade beginning with the 1920s. Also, no film from the previous lists will be on here (2013 and 2014 for those interested in catching up), and IMDB must classify the movie as “horror” for it to qualify (so, unfortunately that means no Jaws or Silence of the Lambs).

This year, I also wanted to pay tribute to Wes Craven, Christopher Lee and Roddy Piper since they all definitely shaped the horror film genre, so you’ll be seeing some of their films here, as well.

So… shall we begin?

If you’d like to follow along, this is the list (which we will begin on October 1st):

01. The Cat and the Canary (1927)

02. Drácula (1931)

03. Vampyr (1932)

04. The Invisible Man (1933)

05. The Lodger (1944)

06. House of Frankenstein (1944)

07. House of Wax (1953)

08. The Mad Magician (1954)

09. The Curse of Frankenstein (1957)

10. The Fly (1958)

11. 13 Ghosts (1960)

12. The Birds (1963)

13. The Last House on the Left (1972)

14. Dracula A.D. 1972 (1972)

15. The Town That Dreaded Sundown (1976)

16. The Hills Have Eyes (1977)

17. House (1977)

18. Dawn of the Dead (1978)

19. The Howling (1981)

20. Creepshow (1982)

21. Sleepaway Camp (1983)

22. The Return of the Living Dead (1985)

23. They Live (1988)

24. Begotten (1990)

25. Wes Craven’s New Nightmare (1994)

26. Dark Water (2002)

27. The Innkeepers (2011)

28. V/H/S (2012)

29. It Follows (2014)
