Happy October, boils and ghouls! Now that our favorite month has officially kicked off, that means many of us are putting together a list of must-watch movies to get into the Halloween spirit. With that in mind, this writer has once again pulled together a varied list of 31 (well, technically more than 31, but who can resist cheating a bit when it comes to horror movies?) films that are currently streaming on Netflix that should undoubtedly get you primed for the big day on October 31st.
It’s worth noting that several great titles not included on this list are making their way to Netflix during October that would also make for great Scary Movie Month additions, including Cult of Chucky on 10/3, Raw on 10/4, and the Stephen King adaptation 1922 on 10/20, with season 2 of Stranger Things kicking off on 10/27.
Happy viewing, everyone, and look for more Halloween-related articles coming your way all month long,...

Henry Evans can't speak or walk. He can only move one finger and his head. Now robotics geniuses Willow Garage are working with him to create a mechanical helper that could drastically improve Evans's life.
Our robot overlords don't necessarily have to be evil; they can also help disabled humans perform tasks that they can't do themselves. Researchers at robot startup Willow Garage and the Healthcare Robotics Lab at Georgia Tech are taking robotic assistance to the next level with Robots For Humanity, a project that aims to help Henry Evans, a mute quadriplegic, use a robot to perform daily tasks.
After suffering a stroke at age 40, Evans lost most of his physical abilities. But after therapy, he regained the use of one finger and the ability to move his head--two key factors that allow him to operate a computer (and instruct a robot). Now Willow Garage is investigating how its PR2 robot--a human-sized,...

With Santa Claus right around the corner, what better time is there to point out those good little boys and girls who have taken a turn for the worse? These are the baddest of the bad, the meanest of the mean, naughtiest in Santa’s list. They didn’t start out that way… Some say it’s genetics. Others say it’s how they were raised. Some are just being controlled by the devil himself! No matter how you view it, these kids are going to see a lot of coal in their stockings if they keep it up… Top Ten: Santa’S Naughty List
10. The Exorcist
The Exorcist (1973) starred a young Linda Blair as Regan, an innocent little girl possessed by the devil. Sure, most parents out there surely feel their children are possessed by the devil at one point or another, but Linda Blair and the special effects...

When "Kick-Ass" premieres this evening as the opening night feature of this year's SXSW Film Festival, it'll be under the scrutiny of comic book fans who've been lusting after the film since director Matthew Vaughn showed clips at Comic-Con. But paying almost as much attention will be moviegoers who might take issue with the character of Hit Girl, the purple-haired heroine with a world-weary rasp, a predilection towards switchblades and an age of 12, as played by the prepubescent Chloë Grace Moretz.
Although she'll be appearing soon in the more age-appropriate "Diary of a Wimpy Kid," Moretz is no stranger to doing things well beyond her years, having already poured a glass of vodka for Joseph Gordon-Levitt in "(500) Days of Summer." As Hit Girl, she becomes part of a long movie tradition of killer kids (not to be confused with the creepy kids of horror films) that have been on the big screen since the 1950s,...

Although he's hardly as well known today as he was back in the '90s, Macaulay Culkin is nonetheless one of the most memorable child actors of our time -- but today is Culkin's 29th birthday, which makes it almost twenty years since "Home Alone" first hit theaters. Aside from feeling incredibly old, the time lapse got me thinking: whatever happened to Kevin McCallister?
No, I'm not talking about Culkin himself, who is still acting thanks to projects like "Saved!" and "Kings." Even if I don't know where he is specifically, I have an idea of where Culkin is as an actor -- but what I'd really like to know is, where would his "Home Alone" alter-ego be today? Whatever happened to Richie Rich? Where are these iconic characters on their 29th birthdays?
Sadly, we'll never know the answers... but that's not stopping me from wondering! If I had to guess,...
