Are You Walking…. And Dead? Scott Caldwell, October 13, 2010January 25, 2011 One of the most exciting times of the year for me, is Halloween. Not only do I get candy (not from trick-or-treating, but from buying it in bulk), but I have a great reason to watch all types of horror flicks, at any time of the day. And one of the greatest places for horror film info has always been AMC. And this year, is no exception.
