Thank you for joining the Halloween Countdown!

A huge thanks (and a cyber-hug) to anyone and everyone who dropped by Pussy Goes Grrr during our month-long horror extravaganza. It was a lot of fun, and please stick around for the rest of the year! There are so many horror movies we didn’t get to during October, so rest assured that we’ll be extending our coverage of the genre into every other season and will have a few new tricks up our sleeves in the near future. In the meantime, here’s a compilation of all 28 Halloween Countdown posts. Browse around, read about old favorites or forgotten classics you’ve never heard of, and feel free to leave comments anywhere. Yes, it’s an orgy of self-linking, but we just don’t want to let the Halloween season go!
