So, in the spirit of the old October Horror Movie Challenge, in which one tries to watch a previously unseen horror movie each day of the month, I'm going to attempt to provide 31 reviews for similarly unseen horror movies throughout October.

Ok, a creepy story for you and it's completely true... no, honestly... well, mostly true, names changed and all that... well, part of it is probably true... if you don't believe me, ask anyone who lives in The Town That Dreaded Sundown.
