I s'pose it also depends on the person and what they grow up with. I have a list for my yearly Halloween movie/special marathon, but some people may not think of as a Halloween film. Some don't even take place during Halloween but that was the time of year I watched them most so that is the year I associate them. I don't think that's how Critic took his list. As a movie critic he made a list of horror movies that deserve more attention in his eyes, and what better time of year to watch them than Halloween. For people like us though, Halloween is everyday so we're more nit picky.
Monster Squad wasn't great but wasn't bad. I only saw it once, but I gave my seal of approval for the werewolf and that was my only interest. Had a decent look, tortured soul, odd transformation, and of course the death scene that made you baww even though you knew it was coming anyway.
