Split Tooth Media Presents: October Horror 2022

Our annual horror film series rises from the ashes once again…

Split Tooth’s October Horror series returns for its fourth year! All month long we will be featuring explorations of modern horror franchises, tormented artists, homemade monsters, and paranormal investigations gone horribly wrong. As always there will be a mix of well-loved classics, underground gems, and international treasures. If you like horror films, you’re in the right place.

We are also proud to present a new mini-series from Split Picks. Following last year’s Titans of American Horror episodes, the podcast turns to a few of the great Italian horror directors — Dario Argento, Lucio Fulci, and Sergio Martino. These episodes will feature special guests and Split Tooth regulars and appear weekly.

This list will be updated daily as titles are added every weekday throughout the month. Follow along with the series on our FacebookTwitter, and Letterboxd pages to stay update with all things October Horror!
