31 Days of Halloween: Day #4 … Classic B-Horror Movies to Watch

Hello Friends and welcome to the blog and Day #4 in my 31 Days of Halloween!  Today I’m sharing some classic B-Horror movies to binge.

I hope everyone is doing well on this Monday.  It’s been a really long time since I posted on Monday but here I am. The weather has been absolutely beautiful to tip off October, and it’s a great time of year to do anything outside.

Unfortunately I haven’t seen any leaves changing but I think that doesn’t happen until mid-October.

Today is also special because it’s my birthday.  One year older, one year wiser, and very blessed.  Happy Birthday to Me!

Classic B-Horror Movies

I watch classic B-Horror movies just about every Saturday night.  I love Vincent Price and the Hammer House Films. These movies show a shift in our culture, and the very beginnings of what was considered scary during this time. (2019)

These movies were the subject-mattter that scared people back in the 50s & 60s.  From outer space monsters to creatures and demons, it was everything that was foreign or unknown.  We look at these classic films as the ridiculous side of horror, but they are also considered to be our early beginnings.

Your then younger film-makers like Wes Craven, John Carpenter, and George Romero used these films as a foundation to create the movies that we know and love today.
