It's October, baby!

I don't think I've ever been this excited for it to be October.  I never realized how awesome this month is!

It's not too hot, just cold enough for perfect fall activities like bonfires and roasting marshmallows and hayrides and all those great things!

Also, Halloween is at the end of the month to finish it all off. I like the classic idea of Halloween, you know, the innocent Trick-or-Treat days.  So, even though I have outgrown all that and now Halloween is just an excuse for people in college to dress scantily and drink a lot, I am still in a great mood about all of it. And I want to bring the Halloween-y spirit to the entire month.

So I was bored Friday night. After I watched the episodes of The Office and 30 Rock that I missed on Thursday, I went on to watch a bunch of iCarly episodes online. After going through iPsycho, iWanna Stay With Spencer, iWant More Viewers, and iJake, I decided that was enough (although in my opinion one really can never have enough iCarly [perhaps there will be a post about this show later on]). But I did want to watch something more substantial, so I decided to watch a movie.

For some strange reason I cannot explain, I chose to watch Interview with a Vampire, which I have never seen nor have I ever even heard anything about. I quite enjoyed it, so it got me thinking that I want to spend the rest of October watching Halloween-type movies.  These can be anything from classic movies based on original horror stories or just simple thrillers that are awesome.  So far, I've compiled a list of movies I would like to watch this month. Some of them I have no previous knowledge of, and some I have already seen before but I would like to revisit them.
Here are the movies:

  1. Interview with a Vampire (already watched)
  2. The Shining (a classic that I know I need to watch sometime in my life)
  3. Paranormal Activity (I've heard it's pretty darn scary)
  4. Shutter Island (loved it in theaters, want to see it again, even though it's not really horror)
  5. An American Werewolf in London (this will be a surprise)
  6. Nightmare Before Christmas (I've never seen it, so I should see it)
  7. The Ring (again, never seen it)
  8. Psycho (classic movie that I don't mind revisiting at all)
  9. Nosferatu (it's old, and that's all I know about it)
  10. Zombieland (LOVED this movie!)
  11. I was a Teenage Werewolf (it mentions werewolves, so I figure I'll give it a shot)
  12. Van Helsing (can't help but love it)
  13. Sleepy Hollow (never seen it, but gotta get some Johnny Depp in there)
So that's my agenda for the month of October! This is exciting; I'm really excited to watch all these movies!
