Chip's top 10 movies to watch in October!
While being currently laid up on my couch with what I believe is the head cold and flu from HELL! I've been slowly plowing through plenty of horror movies for Chip's 31 Days Of Halloween. I actually just have a conversation with my friend and tattoo artist that even though I watch theses movies over and over again, yet certain ones seem to be a staple to watch to get into that cozy, spooky, October state of mind. Despite feeling so sick, I've been trying to tackle as many things to do to fully capture in my eyes one of the most wonderful times of the year. That means attending Rock & Shock, eating cider donuts, and watching non-stop movies while buying pumpkin, and ghost everything. So, here is the start of 10 movies I'm picking personally aka as Chip as movies that are a must to watch this month. Stay tuned as I ask this same question to other friends and artists and see if we share similar taste!
