As I am sure most of you are aware, the Halloween season is fast approaching. In preparation for this, I have decided to prepare my movie watchlist for the month itself in an annual event that I like to call the 31 Days of Halloween or, alternately, my Halloween Horror Movie Marathon.

During this marathon, I watch one horror movie each day in the month of October and then end the marathon with a Halloween double feature. The month will also be divided into different themes. Each of these themes will include four movies spanning over four days. The relevant categories are listed below. For the last seven days, I have chosen films that are either set around the Halloween season or have a very Halloween feel or relevance to them.

I do not plan this to be any kind of a formal event, simply something that I am just doing myself. Feel free to respond with your own plans for the Halloween season. I would be interested to hear which films you are interested in or make a tradition to watch every year.

Note: All films are the originals unless otherwise noted and I may revise this list, as necessary, at some point.
