Welcome to the 31 Days of Halloween in Movies
Quote for Halloween
“I like you, but if zombies chase us, I’m tripping you.” – Unknown
Hello Friends, and welcome to a new week and Day #18 of the 31 Days of Halloween in Movies, 2026. In this (Blog-tober) series, I’m featuring a different film every day for 31 days in October. Each week has a different theme. Scroll to the bottom of this post to get caught up on the last few weeks. 👈🏾
Just to be entering week 3 of October is a little sad. With that said, this week is all about the undead, but not in the typical sense. Usually I gravitate towards the same dead movies every year, but this year I’ve switched it up to cover the spectrum.
We now enter….The Brain Buffet.
More about …The Brain Buffet
“We want to eat your brains and steal your knowledge.” 🧠
Yes, friends, welcome to Brain Buffet Week, where it’s all about zombies! From classic undead lore to horror comedies and everything in between, there’s something here for every taste. Whether you prefer the fast-moving infected, shambling hordes, or the slow, relentless walkers, zombie movies are always a good time…minus all the carnage they leave behind.

MOVIE QUOTE:
“Who’s going to believe a talking head? Get a job in a sideshow”.
THOUGHTS: This movie is another deep cut, and I’ll admit, while it’s not necessarily scary, it is VERY graphic. There’s a reason it shows up on just about every horror list and countdown you can imagine. It definitely won’t be for everyone, but if you’re looking to check another zombie movie off your list, give this one a watch.
I hope you enjoyed your Day #18 movie post; stay tuned for Day #19.
