Welcome to FilmFrak Podcast 19.

October arrived with an abundance of must-see titles but many were limited release only and didn’t make it to our eyeballs yet. Priorities skewed as the frakkers followed the siren call of Horrortober with Jon consuming 27 horror movies and Adam managing 22.

This episode FilmFrak’s Jon and Adam talk:

• THOR: RAGNAROK
• BRAWL IN CELL BLOCK 99
• JAWBONE
• AFTERMATH
• SUBURBICON
• 1922

FilmFrak’s 20 Great Horror Films for Halloween

It’s Halloween and that means most of us horror fiends are staying up beyond the midnight hour with our unblinking eyeballs weeping blood in a motion picture induced haemolacriao. The juicy marrow of fear, frights and fun that the genre can offer feeding some sick desire for visceral voyeurism and boundary violation.

Seeking ideas about what to watch on the 31^st, Jon and Adam have spewed up a random list of horror favourites that quench the thirst for blood around this time of year. Entertaining and frightening some will make you giggle, some will make you gasp but all have celluloid imagery to scar the psyche.

So it is with little fore-thought, here are 10 great horror movies from each of us...
