Welcome to the 31 Days of Halloween in Movies
Quote for Halloween
“You can’t negotiate with a zombie. They have only one impulse – that’s to eat us or our brains.”
— Stephen Graham Jones
Hello, friends, and welcome to Day #22 of the 31 Days of Halloween in Movies, 2026 🎃 Nine more days until Halloween, and honestly, I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas.
I have so many great memories tied to this season—not just for me, but from when my daughter was growing up too. The parties, the festivities, finding the perfect costume, Halloween movies and activities, and of course, a little apple picking thrown in there.
Whatever Halloween looks like for you this year, take a little time to slow down and savor it. These are the moments that become the memories.
Now … let’s get into today’s movie!
🧠 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.

When disc jockey Grant Mazzy reports to his basement radio station in the Canadian town of Pontypool, he thinks it’s just another day at work.
