The Story So Far will be playing some When We Were Young dates.
Today is the first of October! The leaves are falling, everything is pumpkin flavored. Everything seems alright for a moment.
A lot of people like to watch horror movies in October. Last year, I watched one that was new to me everyday.
If you are looking for movies to watch this month, check out my list of my favorite horror movies, by genre.
And yes, I know some of them could fall into two categories.
And yes, they aren’t technically zombies in 28 Days Later.
Enjoy!

Review: Last year, I saw The Wailers play at a driving range in New Hampshire and this year I got to see Ziggy Marley. That’s pretty cool.
I won these tickets through Audacy and was excited to take my dad, who saw Bob Marley back in the day and is a big fan of reggae.
Leader Bank is a great outdoor venue. They have plenty of food and drink options. Merch lines are always quick and efficient. The bathrooms are nice and clean and you don’t usually have to wait long. And you are as on the water in Boston as you can possibly get.
Burning Spear, a legend in the reggae scene, opened the show. For a man in his 80s, he still has got it.
Ziggy played a plentiful set of both Bob Marley covers and his own originals. The crowd was dancing and singing a long the whole night.
