Which classic film is YOUR Halloween ritual?

[Oro13]

I'm new, so forgive me if this has already been done.

We're all ( obviously ) big genre fans, and all have our favs, but which classic is your yearly ritual for the Halloween season?

Personally, I always make it a point to watch Dario Argento's Phenomena every year around this time. I think it's one of his more underrated films and it also went on to inspire one of my favorite video game series.

I find Candyman to be my Halloween ritual. If I have to make up a tradition, watching it would be awesome. I love the music, scenery and deaths that are still interesting to this day.

[MichaelMyers]

Halloween.

[Roiffalo]

I would make it tradition to watch American Werewolf in London every year, but I seldom get the time on the actual night of. My girlfriend and I made a list of horror movies to watch for Halloween though. We hope to be able to watch it next year. Along with AWIL I added Halloween and Trick or Treat.

[Morningriser]

when I was a kid I watched Rocky Horror Picture Show every year but for the last 15 or so years I mix it up and watch a fuck ton of horror on Halloween. I seem to watch Halloween and Evil Dead II the most.

[DeadbeatAtDawn]

I watch Halloween 78, House of Wax 53, Trick R Treat added Lord of Tears. I watch random all through the day. These are my night time films that make me feel Halloween. : )

I'm going to add Tales of Halloween too!

[Repo'd]

Love hearing what you all will be watching on our most Holy Hallowday.

For me it's Carpenter's Halloween in prime time Halloween night. Around that I'll watch a ton of other stuff, Like Night of the Living Dead, Texas Chainsaw Massacre and whatever strikes me.

Oh, and Monster House while eating cereal in the morning. That's become a Halloween day tradition too.

I was hoping to do that too! Ugh if only I didn't work weekends! 8(
I've had the first one on VHS for about a year now and haven't even been able to see if it works. I was hoping to save it for Halloween. Maybe next year. Today I got part IV on VHS too, hoping to have way more this time next year.

Thanks for the great answers guys, and hope you all had a good Halloween!

Lol, I didn't watch it AGAIN this year. Being back in school I very well could have too, but I opted out for sleep. I'll be regretting that move for a long time. ::roll eyes::

[sfear]

Any one of the Universal classics but I am partial to The Wolf Man, or Robert Wise's The Haunting.

[DarkGlobe]

I usually try to watch two films on Halloween, one classic favourite (often Halloween 3) and one new one.

This year it was Cape Fear and Phantasm: Ravager!

RIP Angus.

[Zero]

My new holiday tradition is Trick 'R Treat!

[HorrorFreak]

The Exorcist.

[BloodRaptor]

My bf, Sake, usually makes us watch Van Helsing 'round Halloween every year. It ain't scary at all an' it's actually cheesy as hell, but it's got some good lookin' werewolves. That count?

I should find my own movie tradition fer Halloween, if I have ta sit through watchin' him drool over Hugh Jackman he should sit through me droolin' over somethin' nice an' bloody. XP

Sounds fair. Ideally, you can find a movie that Jackman spends most of the film just being handsome, and then he gets torn into a million blood dripping bits.
I'll keep an eye out for that one for ya, B Rap!

Halloween 1978

Halloween II

Halloween III Season of the Witch

[idoneus1957]

Do you mean Night of the Demon aka Curse of the Demon? That is one terrific movie. Rocky Horror Picture Show alludes to it in the opening song:
Dana Andrews said prunes
Gave him the runes,
And passing them took lots of skill.

Niall MacGinnis also played the god Zeus in Jason and the Argonauts.

[LuvablePsycho]

I love doing classic zombie movies like George Romero's Night of the Living Dead and Lucio Fulci's Zombie. I also like Stephen King movies like The Shining and Children of the Corn.

[knife_fight]

Besides Halloween and Trick R Treat, I always watch the Sleepy Hollow portion of Disney's "The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad" and "Mad Monster Party".
