Monster Mash Movie Marathon Month (2014 Edition)



Another year, another October, another month of watching horror movies.

For those of you that don't know, every October, I give myself the task of watching a horror movie I've never seen before each day. That's 31 movies minimum. No small task! As the years go by, the list of classic and celebrated movies left to draw on gets smaller and smaller. And so I have to rely on word of mouth & omissions from the previous year.

Though there's no real theme from year to year, occasionally something will come through from my list as a kind of theme. This year, following my infatuation with V/H/S from last year's marathon, I've selected quite a few found footage films. Including, but not limited to, the original found footage film, released in 1980, years before the notorious Blair Witch Project, Cannibal Holocaust. While I'm excited to see it, it is worth mentioning this film is not for the faint of heart. The link above, I'm sure, will tell you all you need to know.

What follows is my proposed list of titles. I have copies of these lined up, buy each year without fail, one or more doesn't work with my media devices. I've included trailers for the films to peak some interest. 
This is not the order in which I intend to watch the films, either. This is simple chronological order. Apologies if any recommendations you might have given me didn't make the list. There's a lot in this genre to choose from.

**MANY OF THESE TRAILERS ARE PROBABLY NOT SAFE FOR WORK**
