31 Days of Halloween Starts Today!

Today I’m kicking off 31 Days of Halloween, a series on my YouTube channel.  Each day in the month of October I’ll offer up a lo-fi, off-the-cuff, rapid-fire, one-minute, hyphen-hyphen, Halloween/horror movie review.  These are quick and, therefore, not very comprehensive, but they give my quick impressions of some classic (and not-so-classic) flicks.

I started the series with the subject of my most recent Monday Morning Movie Review, 1983’s Something Wicked This Way Comes:

New Shorts will post each morning in October 2025 at 6 AM EST.  If you enjoy them, leave a comment on YouTube (or here!) and share with your friends!

Happy October!

Happily, he obliged.  Few writers put together a movie review better than good old Ponty, especially when he either loves or hates a film.  In this case, his love for these three flicks—and they are all, assuredly, classics—shines through, as does his acumen for writing a crackerjack film review.

With that, here are Ponty’s Top 3 Halloween Picks for 2024 (I’m hoping if I add “for 2024,” it means he’ll do more next year!):
