Check out the 80s cult horror classic The Stuff in the first horror-themed edition of Everything Action Theater for October. where a delicious but deadly new dessert called The Stuff begins to take over the world, turning everyone who eats it into addicted zombies.

Despite, or probably because of, mass hysteria and also critical acclaim, Joker had the biggest October opening of all time over the past weekend and one of the biggest R rated openings as well.

It couldn’t quite top Venom’s record-breaking October opening but Halloween took the second highest grossing October opening weekend record as well as the second-best R rated horror opening of all time and the best opening ever for the slasher genre.

In the vein of Thriller, Huey Lewis and the News delivered a mini movie for the music video for their song “Doing It All for My Baby” that was an homage to the classic Universal Monsters like Dracual, Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein.

Jack Black pays homage to the wonderfully cheesy movie theme songs of the 80’s and 90’s with the official song of the Goosebumps movie, Bumps Gonna Goose Ya.

It’s October which means it’s time to celebrate the greatest villains in horror history again and we kick things off this year with the master of death traps, John Kramer aka Jigsaw.

Vin Diesel is the last remaining member of an order of warriors who defend humanity from evil witches in this fall’s The Last Witch Hunter.
