I’m watching a horror movie every day in October 2026 — and today’s pick is a classic ‘80s film starring Jeff Goldblum (Oct. 3)
I’m challenging myself to watch one horror movie every day throughout October, revisiting old favorites and discovering films I’ve never seen before.
On October 3, I watched the classic '80s body horror film "The Fly" starring Jeff Goldblum. The movie revolves around Seth Brundle, an eccentric scientist, and his invention of a teleportation machine. He invites science journalist Veronica Quaife to document his experiments and eventually tests it on himself after an argument. Unbeknownst to him, a housefly enters the teleportation pod with him, causing his body to begin a horrific transformation.
The movie is praised for its practical effects and the visceral transformation of its protagonist. Despite some complaints about the abrupt ending, "The Fly" is considered a classic sci-fi horror movie, with the sequel "The Fly 2" being less recommended.
