Well everyone, it's the first of Halloween month so I decided to make a thread about it. I am curious about what everyone is going to be doing this month and on the special day itself Halloween. I already made a blog about my yearly October traditions, though I might mix things up a bit this year because it is too taxing to marathon as I usually do.

Throughout the month I am going to cram in watching movies and halloween specials, read Creepypastas and summaries of horror novels (because reading all of them would take too much time), listen to old time radio programs and creepypasta readings, and play horror themed video games. Throughout the month I enjoy eating candy while doing this. Please note that I will also be watching stuff on two small televisions as well as one large one, though I will likely be using the large one for playing video games on. The televisions will be muted so I can listen to old time radio programs and Creepypasta readings.

Movies: House of the Devil (1896, the first horror movie), Frankenstein (1910), the Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1919), Der Golem (1920), The Phantom Carriage (1921), Nosferatu (1922), Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1922), the Hunchback of Notre Dame (1923), the Phantom of the Opera (1925), The Unknown (1927, not a horror movie, but still eerie), Cat and the Canary (1927), London after Midnight (stills reconstruction of lost 1927 movie), The Unholy 3 (1930, a crime movie but is part of my halloween tradition since it is a Tod Browning/Lon Chaney collaboration), Dracula (1931), Frankenstein (1931), Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931), White Zombie (1932), The Mummy (1932), The Invisible Man (1933), King Kong (1933), Mark of the Vampire (1935), Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (1936), The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1939), The Wolf Man (1941), The Uninvited (1944), Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954), Gojira/Godzilla (1954), House on Haunted Hill (1959), What Ever Happened to Baby Jane (1962), The Masque of the Red Death (1964), Night of the Living Dead (1968) Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974), Black Christmas (1974), Halloween (1978), Friday the 13th (1980), Tim Burton's Hansel and Gretel (1982), Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), The Gremlins (1984), The Goonies (1985), Return to Oz (1985, my all-time favorite movie), Child's Play (1988), Beetlejuice (1988), The Phantom of the Opera (1989), The Addams Family (1991, one of my favorite movies), The Addams Family Values (1992), Hocus Pocus (1993), Jack Frost (1997), Sleepy Hallow (1999), and Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007).

Somewhere in the month (usually at the end of the month) one of the neighbors has a halloween party which I attend every year.

I watch Return to Oz (1985) on a movie projector on the day before Halloween. While it is not a Halloween movie (or a horror movie for that matter, no matter what anyone wants to think), October 30 is the anniversary of when I first saw it.

I start Halloween itself watching Sleepy Hallow (1999). Then I spend most of the day reading Creepypastas while watching Hocus Pocus (1993) followed by It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. This year I'm going to carve a pumpkin after dinner and spend the final hours of the night listening to Creepypasta readings while watching Creepypasta fan videos.

Also, sorry for the long read.
