October 8th Night of the Living Dead (1968) The Blair Witch Project (1998)
Two films that redefined the horror genre thirty years apart. George A Romero's film brought a whole new understanding of where zombie cinema could go and inspired flesh munching living dead imitators to this day.
Whilst The Blair Witch Project inspired even more amateur film makers to pick up a camera or tablet and just run with it. Literally.
And now, fifty two and twenty two years later, both films remain stone cold classics of horror cinema and perfect October horror marathon viewing.
