And on the 8th day of Halloween, the dark lords gave to me...a bunch of scary movies and horror marathons screening in town this week in honor of the holiday. From old school thrillers to classic monster movies to all-out gorefests, we've got your bloodthirst for freaky flicks covered right here. (Or, you know, you could catch one of the many scary movies in theaters right now. We reccomend Sinister or Frankenweenie. House at the End of the Street and Paranormal Activity not so much.)
