Let's face it: Halloween isn't just about October 31st anymore. Years of relentless marketing have broken the holiday free of its conventional single-day celebration and now horror reigns for all 31 days of October.

This year, Classic-Horror.com will be celebrating with "Shocktober Classics: The Masters", a month-long event where we celebrate the great directors who have been instrumental in creating some of the best movies the genre has to offer. Each week in October will be devoted to one of five different directors, with a new review for one of that person's films every weekday. The first week kicks off on Monday, October 1st with a look at the work of Roger Corman. That's all we're giving away for now, though; you'll have to wait until Shocktober starts to discover the identities of the other four directors.

In addition to the Shocktober reviews, we'll still have the regular news, features, and reviews you've come to expect from us. Keep your eyes on Classic-Horror over the next five weeks, because it's going to be a Shocktober to remember.
