User blog:EmpyrealInvective/Emp's Halloween Horr-tacular (2017)

It is very close to October and you know what that means (we are one month closer to the inevitable heat death of the universe), it’s time for Emp’s annual Horr-tacular! As always, I’m going to be changing things up a little bit as I've done for Horr-tacular 2014, 2015, and 2016. It'll still be the basic premise of me watching one (or more) horror movies each day in October, but there will be some added themes.

Now that that little bit is out of the way, let’s get to what everyone has been dreading. The Horr-tacular and how each day of the week will result in me focusing on a different type of horror movie.

Monster Movie Monday: Mondays will focus on movies that revolve around well-known monsters from urban legends, mythology, or popular culture.

Too Lazy Tuesday: I’m too lazy to seek out a movie on these days. Why don’t you guys suggest something (any type of horror film) and I’ll watch it.

Wreck a Franchise Wednesday: Wednesdays will be dedicated to movies from generally successful franchises that were abysmal.

Thursday Fursday: These days will be all about animal themed horror. Scared of dogs, there’s a movie for you. Hate cats? I got a film for that too. Hate service helper monkeys? Why? What kind of person hates service animals? I suggest you sit down and watch Monkeyshines while reflecting on your life choices.

Foreign Film Friday: Like the title suggests, Fridays will be all about horror films from around the world. I’ll try to choose movies from different countries to get some variation.

Showdown Saturday: These days I’ll be seeing how two similar movies stack up. Whether it’s having the same creator, the same premise, or a similar theme (will Lem Kavizinsky go up against Uwe Boll again?)

Cinema Sunday: Cinema Sunday will feature movies that were released in 2017. 2017 has been a year of ups-and-downs for the horror genre, let’s see what I can turn up.

Hope to get some good/bad recommendations and kick off this Halloween season right.
