You Know What’s Coming Up....HALLOWEEN HORRORFEST 2021--including RATAPALOOZA!

Banner by Chris Honeywell

It’s almost September, which means it’s time for me to pull myself up by my bootstraps, gird my loins and settle my stomach for the fourth annual Halloween Horrorfest 2021!   

Once again, I will be watching 31 horror films and writing about them throughout the whole month of October, one film for each day!  And as with last year, we’ll have celebrity guests picking some of the films, and on those other days, you can choose what I watch!

And, as if that wasn't enough, the choices some of my celebrity guests made have been horror films with rats in them...which means I have declared a mini-festival within this festival, Ratapalooza!  Whenever I have to go to the Randomizer, I'll be choosing from a list of rat horror movies, and people who choose to program rat horror films will get a special treat.

The fun starts a little early this year, as I cover The Hand That Rocks The Cradle this September.  This was supposed to be the closing film of last year's festival, sponsored by Mike Blanchard of Geek Cast Radio.  I never got around to it, but I will now.

There are a couple of ways you can program a day in the Halloween Horrorfest this year:

1) You can become a Domicile of Dread Patreon at any level.  Patreons always get a free slot, as well as advance access to podcasts and other goodies!

2) You can buy me a coffee at Ko-Fi.  Suggested donation is $3

3) You can make a donation to Queens Community House Covid-19 Relief and Recovery Campaign.  Suggested donation is $10.  Please forward your receipt to me as proof.

4) You can choose to make a donation to the charity chosen by a sponsor on his/her/their day. Like with the third possibility, please forward me proof of donation.

There are 26 slots presently open at this point, although that number will be reduced as some of my lovely sponsors submit their choices.  And if, by some strange reason, I end up with more than 31 films for my Gauntlet of Ghoulishness, I will be going into overtime!  No film will be spared.

For your edification, the (lengthy ) list of movies already covered is below.

So join me in one month and see if I survive for a fourth year!  See you then!
