It is October again! Which only meas one thing, again horror maraton!
This year there is not a precise theme, but I will try to keep it with creepy and kooky, specially because I got the complete Addams Family show, so I will definitely finish it by the end. Also some monster books during this month!
So basically, let’s start the October 2022 with the people itself and because I already watched all Addams Family movie except, The Addams Family 2 (2021), so this will be the first movie! of the month.
Also I will be reading Bakemonogotari light novels, so it means monsters! And with that,
As every year this is again, I prepare an entry for Halloween, and this year has not been different. Although, usually there is more action, but given the current situation it was quite slow paced compared with other years.
The List
Just with October, it is the list of movies. Every year I watch 31 horror movies, and some times with a theme. This years theme was Lovecraftian, so the majority of the movies are Lovecraftian in nature.

The Party
Every year I choose a party to attend for Halloween, but this year was limited by the world pandemic and I had to do a solo party, but I had my costume ready…
Such a simple costume. But bringing back from the past.
The attack of the masked naked mexican! Yes, I am naked under all those clothes!
This is just to bring memory from when I disguised as octagon during carnival as child. It is a shame that there was no party to go and be the soul of the party.
And because no one else joined… I made my own party… with snacks and everything! Someone had to do it.
This year many things happened, and it was a very difficult month, but I hope the next will be more comfortable and going full on costume for everyone to enjoy!
Giving the recent events during the year, I was glad to be able to still hold a party this year. Give it a like!
The Horror marathon
Just as every year, I do a horror marathon, and I describe here an in-depth review of them (I don’t). This year was full Shudder, so this were the list of movies:

The Dance with Death.
Every year is important to concentrate in a big Halloween Party, this year I was able to prepare an create one. It took a lot of time to decorate and cook all the necessary parts of the house, but it was worth it.
Rising the dead
The first thing in the agenda is to prepare for rising the the mood, so here some pictures of the transformation from a humble house to a house welcoming the dead.
Collecting of souls
Once the mood is ready, and the house is set, it is time for the reaper to pick up its bounty, on this special Halloween night.
I came to to collect your bodies.
Come and have a a look around, the house on the undead. Very few check in, but no one checks out.
Hungry, anyone?
Don forget to visit the graveyard and say hit to fluffy the giant spider afraid of the dark.
I was glad that people enjoyed the themed dance and also the playlist. I hope of something similar could be done in following years. It is hard work, but if it is only for one day of a year, it is worth it.
Every year during the month of October, I try to do a 31 days – 31 Horror Movies.
This year it is no different. The only new thing to add is that I will be watching straight from Shudder. So it will be easy to just select a new movie.
The rules as every year with just a slight tweak if someone catches it:
It must be a movie I haven’t seen ever or in a period of 5 years.
Sequels must be watched in sequence. No jumps.
To start this year, the first movie will be: “One Cut of the Dead”.
