31 Days of Halloween 2009 - Horror Movies for Oct. 22


Not a great day for horror - you might be better off reading a good book, like Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, or World War Z or something else zombie-related.

11:00 AM [USA]
The Skeleton Key
You could do worse than seeing Kate Hudson get terrorized in a eerie New Orleans plantation house. She's a hospice caregiver in charge of taking care of John Hurt. Gena Rowlands is his wife and Peter Sarsgaard is the family lawyer who Kate strikes up a romance with. It's not a great horror movie, but there are some mildly decent twists to keep it at least worth a basic cable watch.

11:10 PM [Encore Mystery]
Psycho III
Anthony Perkins is back as Norman Bates, but I still feel Jeff Fahey's role in the movie is the creepier one. Anyhow, you know the drill by now. Mother obsession, people get killed, and a random ex-nun falls in love with Norman.
