In a shocking turn of events welcome to the second part of my horror movie marathon for October 2024. This time around I'm going for a random assortment of films I have yet to watch. Most of these are pretty recent, some dates from the olden times from whence records barely survive. The 1980's I mean, of course they would pop up here somewhere. It's a broad eclectic selection to be sure and one that covers all the major categories of horror. From under the sea to the otherworldly let's get to the films...

It's that glorious time of year again where we all come together to be frightened, shocked, mortified, haunted or just plain disgusted. The spooky season is of course upon us and much like last year I've decided to embrace it by watching as many horror films as I can. I've just watched all the films in the Paranormal Activity series so that's the subject of today's entry with a more varied assortment of films planned for part two. It's all floating kitchen utensils, strange sounds and flying bodies in this series. Not to mention  the unwavering commitment of its main characters to  capturing all this madness on tape when they should perhaps be doing shots of holy water or relocating to sacred ground. Mild spoilers ahead...
