October: Fall movie season and the ramp up of award season, right? Not so fast, Mr. Highbrow. October is also the time where our movies don't just roll over for the next stop on the awards circuit, but also the pinnacle of fear and escape: Halloween. Much like Halloween night itself, our expectations change and we taken a different personality and do so with our movie picks throughout the month too. This list is a set of favorites where we shift from a simple standard of excellence, but a vibe, eerie and downright creepy good time that adds up to a different type of excellence.
Get mom to settle in and talk dad into letting you stay up late and watch another one. We promise, it's only for as long as October lasts . . . then it's time to shift over into the world of November, December holiday movies, so enjoy the frights while you can.
