October Draws Near...
Throughout the month of October, I like to run a sort of self-movie-marathon. Watching 2-3 horror films each and every night of the month; and restricting my watching habits to ONLY horror. I'm looking for a list of about 50 or 60 horror titles that meet some of the following criteria:
1. Takes place on Halloween.
2. Takes place in Fall / October.
3. Revolves around traditional Halloween symbols
(ghosts, Frankenstein's monster, witches, pumpkins...)
4. A tense and heavy atmosphere.
5. A majority of it takes place within the dark / at night.
So far, here's a list of things I deem must-watches during the month:
Halloween (original)
Halloween II
Halloween III: Season of the Witch
Night of the Demons
Night of the Demons II
Night of the Demons III
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original)
Black Christmas (original)
The Evil Dead
Friday the 13th
Sleepy Hallow
Hocus Pocus
Ernest Scared Stupid
It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown
Monster House
Halloweentown

I watched all of aNoES last October. I don't care to sit through pt. 2 or 6 ever again. I am considering these:
The Funhouse
Silent Night, Deadly Night
Slaughter University
Fangoria's Blood Drive I & II
Going to Pieces
House of 1000 Corpses
Satan's Little Helper
Any recommendations? What is YOUR tradition?
Halloween & Halloween II back-to-back from 9PM-Midnight is mine.
