So I know that I’ve been slacking lately I know I’m awful. But I’m back for now lol. But anywho let’s get to the subject at hand… HALLOWEEN!!! Halloween is my favorite time of the year. I love everything about Halloween especially horror movies. So I decided to do a 31 days of Halloween post horror movie post. I decided that I would only do movies from the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s with the exception of one movie from 1932. I chose these decades because I personally feel like this was a golden age of horror movies. So many classics came out during this time so it made sense for me to only pick movies from this time. let me be clear not all of these are good lol some are and some are not. Also not all are strictly horror some are thriller and other genres. Something else to know about me I love B horror movies and campy horror movies which is why there are quite a few on this list. Also I will not be telling you about the movie necessarily but telling why I liked it and why I think you should watch it reason being I don’t want to ruin the movie if you’ve never seen it. Now to the list…
1930’s
Freaks- Black and white horror/thriller about circus workers who get revenge on someone who wronged one of their own. Why I love this movie, it’s a simple scare and the fact that it’s black and white definitely adds to the appeal of this for me. (Available on Vudu.com and Amazon instant video)1970’s
Salem’s Lot- Vampire movie that you don’t realize is a vampire movie until midway through. It’s kind of a long movie but it’s worth it. One of my favorite vamp movies. (Available on vudu.com and Amazon instant video)
Trilogy of Terror- One thing everyone remembers from this movie is the fight scene with those creepy ass dolls. This is a recommendation from the biggest horror fanatic I know my mother lol (Available on Amazon instant video)
Burnt Offerings- This along with the above movie both star Karen Black and both scary as hell. (Amazon instant video)
