 Top 10 movies to watch in October.

October! My favorite time of year. Today I'm picking 10 movies that are a must to watch this month in order to get into the Halloween state of mind!

10) Kenny & Co.

- In the 1970's the week before Halloween two ten year old boys get into a bunch of zany adventures involving learning lessons about life and death, love, pulling pranks, skateboarding, and much much more!

9) Pet Sematary

- One of the best King novels/films. Still holds up all these years later. Proud to have Church tattooed on me. A doctor and his young family move from Chicago to Maine. Here they notice two things. The house they just moved into has a busy road right by it where huge 18-wheelers are constantly racing down. The other is a path leading into the woods where a tiny pet cemetery lays, build by neighborhood children whenever animals got killed in the road. It isn't until the family's cat is killed that the doctor is shown a terrifying power past the pet cemetery. An ancient burial ground where if anything is buried there...it returns. The doctor quickly learns that when animals return, they seem changed, different in fact. It isn't long before the question is asked..."Has anyone ever buried a person there?"

8) Pieces

- Another brutal and terrifying slasher favorite of mine. At a Boston college campus a bunch of young college co-eds are getting brutally murdered by an unseen killer who's taking different body parts. Here an undercover officer begins working on campus, teaming up with several students to try and discover who's committing these terrible crimes.

7) The Stepfather

- Hands down my favorite slasher of all time. Jerry seems like the perfect man. He's handsome, charming, great at his job, and even though he seems a little old fashion, he honestly feels like one of those dads from the 1950's, constantly trying to capture the all American dream. The scary thing is...Jerry is a crazed psychopath. For years he's been marrying into widowed families. Whenever these families let him down in any shape way or form, he brutally murders the entire family, before moving away, changing his identity and appearance before marrying into a new family to start all over again.

6) Graveyard Shift

- Another huge guilty pleasure King movie that I can't help but love. A mill up in Maine decided to hire a small crew over the 4th Of July weekend to clean out the water damaged basement which is crawling with rats. It isn't long before the crew discover a lower level where giant man eating rats live. Becoming trapped down below, the survivors scramble trying to reach the surface as soon as possible.

5) Fright Night Part II

- I worship the original Fright Night, but for some reason I LOVE this highly underrated sequel. Taking place several years later, Charlie now at college is convinced that everything that happened in the first film was all in his mind. It isn't until he meets a beautiful mysterious performance artist that he realizes that his past is coming back to haunt him...and it wants revenge.

4) Halloween III Season Of The Witch

- A man stumbles into the ER late one night terrified clutching a Halloween mask. Later that night he's murdered by a strange man who broke into his room, headed straight to the parking-lot, and blew himself up in his car. The doctor on staff can't believe what's happened, and when the murdered man's daughter comes forward, he informs her that her father kept saying that "they" were going to kill them all. Wanting to track down where her father was last before he died, the two pair up and head to the coast where a popular Halloween mask company is based out of. Once they arrive in the town, they instantly notice all isn't what it seems.

3) Night Of The Demons

- On Halloween night a group of teenagers go to a local "haunted" house to party, where they accidentally raise the evil spirits that are trapped in the property. Possessing three of the teens, the rest are trapped unable to escape and having to fight back and survive until dawn.

2) The Monster Squad

- All of classic Universal monsters all are awakened and brought to a small town attempting to take over the world. It's up to a group of young misfits called The Monster Squad to stop these creatures before it's too late.

1) The Midnight Hour

- A group of teens from a small New England town break into a local wax museum to borrow some costumes before a big Halloween party. While digging through what they took, they happen upon an old scroll where an ancient spell is written. Here they decide to head to the local cemetery to say the spell and mess around, having no idea that they have just basically opened up the gates of Hell unleashing the undead, werewolf's, vampires, ghouls, and much much more!

Enjoy!
