I am participating in a 30 day challenge. This time it is all about horror! If you know anything about us here at the Fort you would know that we are hard core horror fans. Each October we watch a movie each night in what we dub as “The 31 Nights of Horror.”
Day 4: Horror Musical
This is a movie I have to check out durning this year’s 31 Days. Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead has got to be one of the craziest independent horror musical films of all time. Has anyone seen it?

Day 3: Creepiest dead body
The exploding dead scene in Scanners (1981) scared me to death when I was a kid. I saw this movie with my dad when it came out in the theater. I was 9 years old. This scene set the bar high for my thirst for the horror genre for years to come.
Tonight’s film is one that I have nevere seen before. It was part of a box set that I picked up a Best Buy for about 10 bucks. 10 bucks for 10 movies isn’t bad. Is it?
It is Carnival of Souls (1962). It is a cheesy take on the zombie genre about a woman becomes drawn to a mysterious abandoned carnival after a traumatic car accident.
It is full of cliches, bad dialogue, terrible zombie make-up and even awkward hand holding.
Thought it was pretty bad, Michele and I enjoyed it and even laughed a time or two.
What is your favorite scary movie?
Each October we watch 31 days of horror movies at the Fortos’ Fort in Alaska. We have had this tradition for at least a decade. We watch all the favorite like Dracula, Frankenstein, and the Wolfman well as some of the flicks from today like the films of Christopher R. Mihm’s Attack of the Moon Zombies (2011).
The 2010 list s attached. Check it out and let me know if there are any that you would suggest. October is fast approaching and we are ready to be scared!
