Who could have predicted that October would be a big month for horror?! From the highly anticipated Black Phone 2, to Guillermo del Toro's lush adaptation of Frankenstein (partially shot in my hometown in Scotland, which precisely no one will care about but me), to Tina Romero's rhinestone-encrusted Queens of the Dead, this month's packed release schedule ensures you'll never be short something new to watch while you munch on the Halloween candy you supposedly bought for the trick-or-treaters. And nestled within that schedule, like the proverbial razor blade in the Snickers bar, are a number of new international releases that might just surprise you. Maybe even draw blood.
October brings us strange happenings at a Spanish subway station, culty weirdness in a Cambodian tenement, and so much more. We've got ghosts. We've got zombies. We've got killer snowplow drivers. And, of course, there's a shark movie in here. Turn down the lights, light the jack-o'-lantern, and dig into everything that the wide world of horror has to offer this month.
