October 25 runs from a 1987 episode of “Tales From The Darkside” and the Romero/Argento Poe double bill Two Evil Eyes to Stephen King’s Thinner in 1996 and Ghost Ship in 2002. It is also the date in 1993 when horror lost the great Vincent Price, so this one mixes anthology chills with a farewell to a legend.
