31 Days of Horror (Part 5): Resurrection

I can't believe I've already been doing this for five years. Like - wow. Have I really seen this many horror movies? I guess I have. So again: wow.

Like always, below you'll find 31 terrific horror films, one for each bone-chilling, heart-stopping, blood-curdling day of October. This year's list runs the gamut, from meditative and classy, to over-the-top exploitation. There are silent chillers, black-and-white thrillers, cheesy (but awesome) gore-fests, and polished new-classics. Because it's the Halloween season, right? So sit back, check out this list, and then go watch a few. If you have the guts...
