13 Nights of Shocktober: Horror Express

by A.J.

This is my favorite time of year, second only to Christmas. Autumn has arrived, the weather is cooling down, and, October becomes the month long celebration of scary movies called Shocktober. There are a lot of horror movies out there, but as a genre, horror is still looked down upon by some mainstream critics and moviegoers. It doesn’t help that, admittedly, there are so few quality horror movies made but, like comedy, it’s a very difficult and subjective genre. So, in the days leading up Halloween I’ll be posting some recommendations for scary movies to help you celebrate Shocktober.

I'm not the only person recommending horror movies this Shocktober. Every weekday local film buff John Ary is hosting Ain't It Scary Reviews, a special Shocktober edition of the Vulcan Vault review series in which Vulcan Video employees (such as myself), filmmakers, local film personalities, and other special guests recommend lesser seen films for Ain't It Cool News. Today John interviews me about one of my favorite horror movies:

Check in with Ain't It Cool News tomorrow for the final Ain't It Scary Review! For past segments search for "Ain't It Scary" or "Vulcan Vault."

Horror Express will air on TCM on Halloween, Thursday, October 31st at 5:30PM (Eastern Time)/4:30PM (Central Time).
