The October Horror Movie Challenge

Vulnavia Morbius at the blog Krell Laboratories has a challenge for horror fans: Watch 31 horror movies during October!

The rules are simple: watch 31 horror movies over the course of October. You can watch them in any order: one a day, 31 in a week if you can manage it, whatever floats your boat. You can watch more movies than just 31, of course, and watching LOTS of horror movies is always a badge of honor for the Challengers. The only stipulation is that at least 16 of the movies you watch must be movies you've never seen before.

Beyond this, you can vary things however you like. Watch nothing but new to you movies. Watch nothing but foreign movies. Watch nothing but classics in black and white. One variation I encourage is to watch movies for charity. For every horror movie you watch, donate a nominal amount to a charity of your choice. I normally support the Multiple Sclerosis Society, but it's up to you. My friend, Aaron Christensen over at Horror 101 actually collects pledges for his charity, and that's cool too. And it's cool if you don't want to do it. This is for fun, after all.

If you plan on participating and have a blog/site, click here and pick up one of several awesome banners to show everyone you are up for the challenge. While there, let Vulnavia know you are taking the challenge. You can also find her on Twitter, and at the Challenge’s Facebook page!
