Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping some of my brother-in-law’s favorite horror movies into the ol’ VCR.
As many of you know, two of my favorite people were born on October 17th: KP (my mom) and my brother-in-law, Matt.
I still miss KP every single day, and her death is really hitting me hard this year…especially during spooky season.
She would send me a giant care package every September, and she was a big horror fan, so as much as I love this time of year, it’s also hard for me.
But, as much as I love and miss KP, today, I really want to focus on Matt.
Because of the age gap between my sister and me, Matt has been in my life more than he hasn’t.
And from the beginning, Matt has always been one of my horror buddies.
He took me to see Paranormal Activity (with KP’s blessing) because I wasn’t old enough to get in without an adult, let me borrow his DVDs (most of which I gave back), and was always down to talk all things spooky.
That’s why I thought I would let Matt speak for himself, in a way.
I asked Matt to send me a list of 10 of his favorite horror movies so that y’all could get some recommendations from another horror fan for once.
According to Matt, this list is in no particular order, “except Halloween at #1,” and that “these are all films [he] can watch over and over.”
However, like I always say with my lists, he said, and I quote, “Ok, this was tough.”
Alrighty, that should do us for introductions and disclaimers.
Without further ado, in honor of his birthday, here are 10 of Matt’s favorite horror movies:
Happy Birthday KP and Matt 🖤
