Welcome to Killtoberfest, an annual tradition here at the Kraken. Every year during the month of October I try to watch and review at least 31 horror movies in 31 days. Sometimes they’re great, sometimes they’re terrible, but it’s always entertaining. Check below for the full list and links to reviews from each Killtoberfest!
