37 Days of Halloween

The list of what Cody watched during Halloween season!

For me, the celebration of Halloween goes on for the entire month of October. Most years, I make sure to watch nothing but horror movies for the entire spooky season, but this year I was more lenient, allowing for some creature features and suspenseful thrillers that I normally wouldn't consider Halloween movies to make it onto the list.

I was aiming to celebrate the season with "35 Days of Halloween," a viewing spree that started on September 29 (because that's close enough to October) and would continue through November 2 (because Halloween was on a Friday, and who stops celebrating on a Friday?). Classics, modern flicks, TV shows, giant monster movies, assorted creature features, horror host episodes, all were welcome. And when I found out I would have the chance to see Jaws on the big screen on November 4th, the Halloween celebration went on for two extra days!
