Those who know me know that I love Halloween, and Halloween just isn't complete without horror movie marathons. Last year I was very excited to have the opportunity to interview Harry Manfredini, composer for the iconic horror movie Friday the 13th. This year I wanted to start the season off with a month-long calendar taking us chronologically through film history; every day I will post a new horror movie that has revolutionized the genre through history. I'm going to have a lot of fun with this, I hope you do too! October 1st - Dracula (1931)No original score was produced.
