October is upon us once again, and so are another series of bone-chilling horror movie reviews.  Over the course of the month I’ll be posting one review every other day, with movies spanning multiple decades, countries, and subgenres.  Just as before, the only criterion for a movie’s inclusion is that I can’t have seen it.  Later today I’ll post the first of these reviews, for the 2013 slasher sequel Curse of Chucky.  So keep an an eye or two on this blog; these movies are so good, it’s scary.
