October is here and it’s time for the Scare-A-Thon 2016! With October in full swing, I wanted to give my good friend and brilliant filmmaking talent John Pata some love for his work helping to raise funds towards some great causes and to watch horror films! Take a read and give if you can by watching and donating per horror film or just share this post! Thanks and happy watching!

What is a Scare-A-Thon? Well, it’s caring through scaring. Think of it like a walk-a-thon, but instead of walking a whole bunch, I’m going to watch a ton of horror movies with the purpose of raising money for certain organizations. Once again, I have selected the Fox Valley’s Reach Counseling Services, who strives to end sexual violence and promote healing in our community. The other organization I selected this year is The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. This is a bit of a personal selection, as in 2004, my father lost his 9-year battle with Chronic Malignant Leukemia. This is a way to honor my dad, considering he was the one who first introduced me to the world of horror.

For many years now, October for me has turned into 31 Days of Horror. The goal being to watch 31 horror flicks during the month, at least 16 of those being first-time views. In the spirit of a walk-a-thon or read-a-thon, I am asking for your assistance on a per-movie pledge basis with a prospective goal of 31 titles that I plan to watch. (For example, a ten-cent pledge would result in an approximate $3.10 donation.) Of course, you are welcome to make a lower – or higher – per-movie pledge, or make a straightforward donation of whatever amount you deem viable. Any and every pledge, no matter the amount, will be greatly appreciated.

If you are interested in participating, please contact me at john.marcus.pata(at)gmail.com with your desired pledge amount. To document my progress, I will be resurrecting my blog (http://johnpata.blogspot.com/) and making weekly posts. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask.

If you can’t pledge this year, that’s completely understandable. You can still support the Scare-A-Thon by sharing this. The more, the merrier!

Thanks for your time! Here’s wishing everyone a happy and safe Halloween season!
