Horror Hodge Podge: Satanic Borgnine, evil apes, possessed tumors and basketball decapitation!

Five Tuesdays in October means five not particularly horrifying nights. This month is chock full of ridiculous horror films. Some are cribbed from local repertory programs around town that I wasn't or won't be able to get to, some are just crap I've been curious about.

October 2nd: Deadly Friend
October 9th: The Devil's Rain
October 16th: Body Parts
October 23rd: The Manitou
October 30th: Shakma
