31 Days of Horror

October’s creeping up, which means it’s almost time for one of my favorite yearly traditions: 31 Days of Horror! Honestly, I can’t even remember when I first started doing this—it’s been well over 15 years now. But what exactly is 31 Days of Horror? Simple: every day in October, I watch a different horror movie. Why? Because Halloween is my favorite holiday, and horror is hands-down my favorite movie genre.

Now, finding the time to squeeze in a movie every single day isn’t always easy. But honestly, the harder part is deciding what to watch. There are a handful of favorites I revisit every year, but I also like to mix in newer or lesser-known films to keep things fresh.

Here are some of my yearly must-watches:

  • The Shining
  • The Exorcist
  • The original Evil Dead
  • Army of Darkness
  • Texas Chainsaw Massacre
  • Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning
  • The original Poltergeist
  • Original Friday the 13th
  • Original A Nightmare on Elm Street
  • Jeepers Creepers 1 & 2
  • The Devil’s Rejects
  • 30 Days of Night
  • Candyman 1 & 2
  • When a Stranger Calls
  • Thir13en Ghosts

I’m sure I missed a couple, but that’s already 17 movies right there. So, I still need to pick at least 14 more to round out the month—but trust me, that’s not a problem. I’ve got a running list of over 100 horror movies to choose from below! And just because it’s called 31 Days of Horror doesn’t mean I stop at 31… I usually end up closer to 50, especially when I binge entire franchises like The Conjuring Universe or the Friday the 13th collection.

If you’re thinking about joining in this year, feel free to use my list as a starting point. Of course, I know I’ve missed a bunch of great titles, so drop your recommendations in the comments—I’m always looking to add more to my list!

And just to clarify: my definition of "horror" isn’t limited to slashers like Jason and Freddy. I’m into paranormal stories, psychological thrillers, and even some horror-comedy. So if you see something on my list that doesn’t match your idea of horror… relax. There’s something for everyone.

Below, you’ll find my full list, which includes the year it was released and a link to IMDb for a full description. A lot of these movies are also available to stream on Sling TV, Amazon Prime, Hulu, Netflix, Screambox, or Shudder—so be sure to check there too!

And hey—don’t forget to like, share, and drop a comment on this blog. I made it super easy: just log in with Facebook and you’re good to go.

Let’s get spooky!
