October is here, and that means fall foliage, hiking, and Halloween here in Massachusetts. The leaf peepers love coming to Massachusetts and checking out the beauty that Mother Nature provides this time of year. October is one of my favorite months of the year, and Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, if not my favorite.

Getting prepared for Halloween is also a big thrill for me and my family. Everything from hanging up decorations, going to the store to seek out new decorations, shopping for candy, and carving jack-o'-lanterns. But one of the activities I love most that celebrates Halloween is watching horror movies. Whether it's the classics like Halloween, Phantasm, The Exorcist, Friday the 13th, or modern-day ones like Weapons, Sinners, or House of the Devil, I like to celebrate Halloween by watching all sub-genres and eras of the Horror genre.
