National Day Calendar and Black Vortex Cinema formed a collaboration in the fall of 2023 to form National Horror Movie Day. Each year on October 23, we gather together to promote the beauty and cathartic thrills of being scared by great horror movies. National Horror Movie Day is celebrated on October 23 in honor of the birthday of a horror director who stands amongst those giants: Sam Raimi.
Black Vortex Cinema chose October 23 in honor of the birthday of legendary filmmaker Sam Raimi, who went on to direct massive films like the Spiderman Trilogy, Oz the Great and Powerful, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and their personal favorite, Drag Me to Hell!
