Shocktober is finally here
🎃 Horror movie season is upon us! 👻
I don't really celebrate Halloween, but every year I line up a bunch of horror movies to watch throughout October, and this year is no exception. While the excessively wet and drab fall in Trondheim makes for terrible MTB trail conditions, it provides a great atmosphere for watching spooky movies.
I try to mix up the selection with some new movies I haven't seen yet, coupled with a few classics/rewatchables. There's no attempt at grouping movies by sub-genre, or trying to find a good double feature, but there might be some happy accidents. Overall, I prefer psychological and tense horror over gory non-sense, although the latter can occasionally be very fun (but rarely scary).
The list
Top three picks:
This is what I have come up with so far, but it's still early so the final list
might change.
Complete list:
- Week 40
- Week 41
- Week 42:
- A new Diablo IV expansion was released so this week was just a blur of demons and loot.
- Week 43:
- Week 44:
- Zombi 2 (1979) - Watched this on a old and grainy 35mm print, which definitely improved the experience!
- Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990)
- The Substance (2024)
