For October we're offering a selection of horror movies. Read below and then vote on the right hand side of the page.

1. Night of the Creeps (USA - 1986) - In 1959, an alien experiment crashes to earth and infects a fraternity member.

2. Near Dark (USA 1987) - In the dusty heart of the American southwest, innocent country boy Caleb (Adrian Pasdar) is seduced by a beautiful girl (Jenny Wright) into joining a pack of vicious drifters.
