Have you ever participated in one of those popular, “31 Days of Horror Movies to Halloween” challenges? Sure you have! It’s almost a rite of passage for Horror fans — especially those who are online content creators. Well, here in Episode 162 of Jay of the Dead’s New Horror Movies, Horror Avenger Ron Martin produces, what is essentially, a four-part series of his infamous Horror Myth-busting segment! During these episodes, Ron endeavors to explore this question: Does watching any random Horror movies during the Halloween season enhance and enrich Ron Martin’s Halloween experience? To answer this question for himself, Ron has recorded four solocast episodes where he brings us a total of 31 mini Horror movie reviews (many of which are “new Horror movies”) where he discusses and rates all the random Horror movies he’s watched. Therefore, while Ron is getting an answer to his question, we get the benefit of 31 Horror movie reviews by The Cassandra of Horror Podcasting, Ron Martin! Join us!
