On 1 October 2025 I launched a YouTube Shorts series, 31 Days of Halloween.  The concept is simple:  one, one-minute (or shorter) Halloween/horror movie review every day for the month of October.  These reviews are super lo-fi—just yours portly recording on a phone, sitting at a desk.  No frills, no fancy editing, just me giving my impressions of the films in an unscripted, fast way.

In case you’ve missed any installments, I’m featuring the several days of reviews.  If you want to catchup on Days 1-9, check out last week’s YouTube Roundup.

A quick note:  most of the links below are Amazon Affiliate links, typically linking to the movie on DVD or Blu-Ray, as well as the books they’re based upon (or the novelizations of the films).  I receive a portion of any purchases made through those links, at no additional cost to you.
