horror movie marathon opinion(s)

[fortunato]

okay, so i'm putting together a horror/halloween season movie marathon and i just finished the list. i was just wondering what people thought of the list, should i change anything around. i would be super appreciative of recommendations/opinions/etc.

1. hocus pocus (i feel like i have to) (1993)
2. nosferatu (1922)
3. black sabbath (1963)
4. eyes without a face (1960)
5. ichi the killer (2001)
6. don't look in the basement (1973)
7. suspiria (1977)
8. blood feast (1963)
9. spiderbaby (1968)

that's the order right now

you get points for including Nosferatu. I would say, Mad Monster Party and Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein are always good for Halloween parties.

I always watch Pumpkinhead, there is something about it that just sets the mood. So its my one of my favorites to watch at Halloween, also Sleepy Hollow.
Good list! :)

oh, man. "mad monster party" is a great idea. i might have to consider a switch.

thanks ! pumpkinhead is great. i actually did this last year too, and we watched pumpkinhead. that was one of the first that came to my mind though, totally classic.

how bout dawn of the dead or penny dreadfull (or any of the horrorfest movies for that matter) and you can never go wrong with any of the classic slashers (halloween, texas chainsaw massacare, friday the 13th etc.)

Sleepy Hollow for sure or the Disney Version
It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

and of course

Halloween

On Halloween day, I always watch Frankenstein, Dracula, The Wolf-Man and Haxan early in the day, then take the kiddies trick-or-treating then come home for some good zombie gore, like Dawn of the Dead, Evil Dead and end the night with something weird like The Brood or Begotten

"the brood" is another great suggestion...i may have to rethink a couple titles.
"haxan" and "begotten" are great (and under-appreciated) films. good to see them on your halloween day watch list.

i think your order is really good. Nice to start off with a comedy and build up to the more brutal.
