October 30th and 31st.
I finished the last couple of days of October with films we've all seen dozens of times (I hope) which really don't need reviewing. The Exorcist (1973), Trick 'r Treat (2007), Halloween (1978) and Halloween II (1981).
All fantastic films as far as i'm concerned.
Less known is the 1977 BBC Gothic horror series Supernatural. Eight episodes of quality if talky horror series. In each episode, a prospective member of the "Club of the Damned" was required to tell a horror story, and their application for membership would be judged on how frightening the story was. Applicants who failed to tell a sufficiently frightening story would be killed. Countess Ilona and The Werewolf Reunion is a wonderful two parter and quite chilling and would have been terrific as part of the Ghost Stories for Christmas series whilst Ghost of Venice is less successful in it's creepy factor but still enjoyable. The perfect way to wind down following a month of none-stop horror movies.
