Doctor Halloween’s 31 Days of Halloween for 2023

Every few years, the team here at Red River Horror creates our own hand-curated list for Red October – 31 films to watch throughout horror’s favorite month. In years that we don’t post a Red October, we invite the great Doctor Halloween, who faithfully makes a new list every year using his own criteria, to share his list with us. Doc detailed how he crafts the perfect slate of films to watch during Spooky Season in 31 Days of Halloween: A Personal History.

For your viewing pleasure — here’s the 2023 list:
