5 B-Rated Horror Movies To Watch This October
ScreenRant

Growing up I never saw normal horror movies. My family would watch old classics, and B-Rated films from the 50's and 60's. This gave me a great appreciation for the genre, and many of the cult classics that aren't considered very good by critics. Still, even though movies like Bela Lugosi's Dracula have gained fame and cult followings in the many decades since their release, there are even more "bad" movies that deserve to be seen. So here is a list of my top 5 B-rated horror movies to watch this October:

1. The Terror

Starring Boris Karloff and Jack Nicholson this movie centers around an old man, a young woman, and a bird. Nicholson is the charismatic young adventurer who can't leave a mystery and young woman alone and that leads to trouble in the creepy old castle where the old man lives. Death, murder, mystery, and romance come together to make this a very interesting movie to watch.

2. House on Haunted Hill

Now you might have seen the modern version of this that came out back in 1999, but this is the original from 1959. Starring Vincent Price, the movie centers on a millionaire who purchases a house known for having it's inhabitants show up dead after their first night living there. He invites 5 people to join him and his wife for one night in the house, with a reward of 10 grand if they stay and survive.

3. The Raven

Boris Karloff, Vincent Price, Peter Lorre, and Jack Nicholson team up in this movie based (albeit loosely) on the Edgar Allan Poe poem of the same name. Basically, a magician has been turned into a raven, and must seek help from a retired sorcerer to reverse the curse.

4. The Last Man on Earth

Again, you have probably heard of if not seen the modern remake of this, I Am Legend starring Will Smith, but the original still does it better. Vincent Price stars in this movie about a scientist whose world is literally turned upside-down by a mysterious virus that is reminiscent of the black plague...only this disease creates zombies.

5. Dracula

Ah yes, the grand-daddy of all b-rated horror films that did NOT deserve the rating! Bela Lugosi's Dracula is the ultimate cult classic, and it is nearly impossible for you to look at anything relating to vampires, and not see this movies influence. Go, watch, I'm not good at talking about this movie without spoiling it. Enjoy!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
