Horror Month 2022

October is here again, and at Lamplight Drivel that means a solid month of horror.  Movies, that is.  All can be at least classified as "thrillers", lest there be some debate as to what comprises a true horror film.  If you follow social media and various internet forums, there always (yawn) is.  I do believe there are some bona-fides this time out.  One is an undisputed classic in the "possession" subgenre, a movie that caused people to faint in theaters.  Another is one of its many ripoffs.  You'll find a '70s remake that absolutely bests the original from the '50s, which conveniently is also included this month. 

  

What else? A couple of sequels in two long running series, both of which arguably have more than run their courses.  We have a horror comedy, a recent sci-fi/social horror, a monster movie courtesy of Universal Studios from the glorious '30s, and a unique spin on zombie flicks.  And.... a supposed true story of a very troubled house in Long Island. 

As always, I hope you may discover a new favorite among them.  I try to vary the mix with the old and new(er), the familiar and obscure. 

Happy haunts!
