Favorite Halloween Season Movies?

[crabapple]

Okay, so what are the movies you love to watch during the Halloween season?

Some of the movies that get me "in the mood" are...

Horror of Dracula
Halloween II
Dracula vs. Frankenstein
The Werewolf vs. Vampire Woman

[Vodstok]

The Ring
The Exorcist
Dog Soldiers
The Thing


Atmospheric horror gets me in the mood. And Dog Soldiers has Werewolves :)

Oh, and of course Halloween 1 and 2, and if I am feeling masochistic, 3.
"8 more days till halloween, halloween, halloween. 8 more days 'till halloween, Silver Shamrock!"



Try getting that out of your head :)

fright night
lost boys

invaders from mars (t. hooper)

[crabapple]

Heh heh...for some reason, the trashy/cheesy quality of Halloween II makes it more fun to watch than the original film...the really synthy-sounding score works too...

[novakru]

Nightmare on Elm Street franchise
Scream trilogy
Some of the Halloweens
the first 3 Hellraisers
Anything with Zombies

[Festered]

I'm doing these at my party this year. Hopefully, I'll have enough time to watch a few of them uninterupted.

From Hell, Witchfinder General, The Loved One, The Abominable Dr. Phibes, No Way to Treat a Lady, Funny Games, Haxan, Dawn of the Mummy, Sugar Hill, Blue Sunshine, 10 Rillington Place

[The Flayed One]

It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown
Nightmare Before Christmas
I've grown very fond of Monster House as well.

I also like to throw in some Universal classics, my favorite being the Creature. Wolfman is also great for Halloween.

[urgeok2]

Nightmare Before Christmas
.


yeah that does double duty at our house (xmas too)

my son digs corpse bride as well so it makes a good (if redundant) double feature

[missmacabre]

Sleepy Hollow
Nightmare before Christmas
Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown
Ernest Scared Stupid

and lots of episides of Hilarious House of Frightenstein!

[The Flayed One]

Halloween 1 and 2
Hocus Pocus (Loved that film for years)
Psycho
Creepshow

[alkytrio666]

The Haunting (1963)

Spider Baby (1968)

Two creepy 60s classics with the right atmosphere for the season.

[Elvis_Christ]

The Monster Squad

[The_Return]

Wouldn't be Halloween for me without at least one viewing of:

Also, a healthy helping of Vincent Price is a wonderful way to spend the season.

[Roderick Usher]

At Halloween I love to diversify, but nothing makes me feel as halloween-y as really gothic, really classic-feeling, autumnal fare like

Sleepy Hollow
Frankenstien
Nosferatu
The Wolf Man
La Maschara del Demonio
The Phantom of the Opera

and animated fare like
It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
and the stop-motion Annabel Lee

[Arioch]

I've grown very fond of Monster House as well.

Nosferatu(1922)

Brilliant movie I think I will watch this one tonight.

[crabapple]

Okay.....so I was at BestBuy yesterday, and they had "Fat Albert's Halloween Special" and I remembered seeing it when it was originally on--a long time ago! I enjoyed it that one time I saw it, so I grabbed it (I had actually been waiting for this to come out on video). Turns out the thing was on in 1977, so I haven't seen it in 30 years! Holy Moley! Anyway, it is still fun, and maybe the years have improved it...it is one of those traditional Halloween specials that they don't really make anymore. I recall this running originally at night.

[ChronoGrl]

House of a 1000 Corpses

Good call. I actually liked that one significantly better than Devil's Rejects.

...

This year, I have friends getting married on Halloween (not on purpose; the Hall was 1/2 price on Friday).

But back on topic...

Rocky Horror Picture Show used to be a Halloween ritual when I was back in high school.

As for this year - dunno. The boyfriend and I will most likely do some catchup on Asian Horror or, make sure to take in our new indie favorites:

Murder Party
The Signal
Wizard of Gore (remake)

I was surprised by how much I liked The Signal. And I am actually looking forward to watching the Wizard of Gore remake. Think I will move it to the top of my Netflix queue now. :)

I always watch a ton of horror all through October, but the only movie I know for sure I will watch on Halloween is Pumpkinhead. Because I watch it every year. Sleepy Hollow is another good one.

OMG! That's great!

Oh, I love Devil's Rejects too. Aside from his murderous, necrophiliac, pyschotic side, Otis is HOT! :p ;) :D

I was surprised by The Signal, too! And at first I hated the transitions it made, but they were just done so incredibly successfully that I realized that it was just brilliance.

And, honestly, I think that you'll totally appreciate The Wizard of Gore. Let me know what you think when you finally get it.

LOL.

[Dante'sInferno]

I would date Baby Firefly.....she would probably rape me though.:eek:



I wouldn't mind.:D

[Doc Faustus]

Black Sunday's a great Halloween movie, though I prefer Black Sabbath myself. There's something very Halloweenish about the stories involved.

[massacre man]

This Halloween I think I will be watching Zack and Miri Make A Porno.

[La Chat Noire]

This Halloween I think I will be watching Zack and Miri Make A Porno.

My friend got to be an extra in that. Some of the filming was done in our area.


As for Halloween movies, I make sure I watch all the Halloween series and the Scream trilogy every year. And ever since I was a kid I loved Hocus Pocus and The Nightmare Before Christmas so I have to watch those at least a few times during the season.

See, oddly enough, I think it's stranger to do it by accident.

I think a purposeful Halloween masquerade wedding would be awesome (Doc - I'm picturing a macabre scene out of your book - A Murderland wedding).

[SinfulEyez]
