Because I'm John Sellmeyer: The Ultimate 31-Day October Horror Movie Challenge
Welcome to the special Halloween episode of "Because I'm John Sellmeyer," where I'm joined by my amazing wife to curate the ultimate 31-day horror movie marathon for October!
We dive deep into a list of 31 terrifying and spooktacular films, dissecting everything from childhood scares to psychological thrillers. We'll be talking about:
The stop-motion brilliance of director Henry Selick in Coraline (voiced by Dakota Fanning) and Nightmare Before Christmas.
Gremlins (directed by Joe Dante) and The Thing (directed by John Carpenter, starring Kurt Russell).
The psychological dread of The Silence of the Lambs (starring Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins) and the madness of The Shining (directed by Stanley Kubrick, starring Jack Nicholson).
The classic slasher scares of A Nightmare on Elm Street (from director Wes Craven, starring Robert Englund and Johnny Depp) and John Carpenter's masterpiece Halloween (starring Jamie Lee Curtis).
The visceral scares of Saw 2 (directed by Darren Lynn Bousman) and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (directed by Tobe Hooper).
Modern terrors like the supernatural haunting of The Conjuring (directed by James Wan) and the tension of A Quiet Place (directed by John Krasinski, starring Emily Blunt).
The campy cult fun of Killer Klowns From Outer Space (directed by Stephen Chiodo) and the nostalgic charm of Hocus Pocus (starring Bette Midler and Sarah Jessica Parker).
The paranormal horrors of The Grudge and the found-footage chills of Late Night With the Devil (starring David Dastmalchian).
The sci-fi terror of Ridley Scott's Alien (starring Sigourney Weaver) and the body-swap horror of Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
The psychological grip of Misery (directed by Rob Reiner, starring Kathy Bates and James Caan) and Rosemary's Baby (directed by Roman Polanski, starring Mia Farrow).
Plus, we'll talk about the madness of Color Out of Space (starring Nicolas Cage), the meta-humor of The Cabin in the Woods, the chaotic fun of Child's Play and Evil Dead II (starring Bruce Campbell), and the horror-comedy gems An American Werewolf in London, Scream, and Shaun of the Dead.
Join us as we put together the perfect horror movie list, talk about our personal favorites, and argue over which films truly belong in a perfect Halloween binge-watch!
