On the contrary, I think Creep would be a neat little addition to any Halloween movie extravaganza anyone is planning. It borrows a bit from TCM no doubt, but has a lot of stuff people love to watch on Halloween occasion - it is a gritty, tense and really gripping film which holds its own among the many other clones which crowd such kind of films. You can really relate to the kind of stuff which Creep shows. One of the better films of the 2000s, IMHO.

excellent suggestions, chrono.

i'm really thinking of adding house of 1000 corpses, as somehow i haven't had that one in a lineup yet.

audition we watched the first year. session 9 and zombi 2 have been watched, too.

hmm, yes. i think i'm going to go with house of 1000 corpses.

huh.
with this many mixed reviews (especially from people whose opinions i really respect), i'm going to have to check this one out regardless.

thanks for your input, bub.

I always like the throw in something REALLY bad when I do things like this - we capped off my last one with Puppet Master vs. Demonic Toys, which was a blast to watch with a bunch of friends at 4 am.

:D

haha yeah.

although i guess i wouldn't call the beyond "REALLY bad," (i mean i think it's a blast) the plot is certainly absurd and nonsensical enough to illicit hilarious reactions, especially at 3-4 in the morning.

Go to see House Of 1000 Corpses getting a spin, I fuckin' love that film.

Creep is a decent watch if you can handle to annoying as fuck lead actress (but that was the point of her character). Its got a lot of grizzly dark atomosphere that was great to see on the big screen. One of the best English horror flicks in a long time. Pity Christopher Smith went on to direct the total shitfest Severance.

Can't remember if I said it earlier but Motel Hell would be great to put into something like this especially if you pick up the double feature DVD with Deranged (one of my favorite serial killer flicks) on it.

...and for cheesy goodness give Shock 'em Dead a watch!

As "Halloween" isn't a tradition to celebrate here in Bangladesh largely so I have only a plan to watching horror movies in back to back shows in my home. I have made the following list for my Halloween Marathon Extravaganza and that I'll like to start tomorrow night @ 7:00 p.m. (BDT). Though Friday is our weekly holiday here but I guess I can only get to see 6 to 7 out of them for some time constraint..:)

• Nosferatu (1922)**
• The Girl who knew too much (1963) or Kill Baby, Kill! (1966)**
• Dario Argento's Inferno (1980)**
• Scanners (1981)**
• Halloween II (1981)
• Scream Trilogy (1996-2000)
• Audition (1999)
• American Psycho (2000)
• Session 9 (2001)
• The Devil's Backbone (2001)
• 28 days later (2002)
• 1408 (2007)
