Anyone have the perfect lineup of 3 or 4 DVDs to watch on Halloween?

Fright Night
John Carpenter's Halloween 25th Anniversay
Ringu

I always love the Halloween season, they always play the greatest films on TCM. I've been hoping to see some cheap classic horror films at Walmart or Circuit city so i can pick them up. This is the first year i have the Halloween dvd, i usually watched my Criterion LD of that on Halloween, but usually i just watch the Universal Classic on the TCM channel. Though i may rent some this if i don't have to work, but since its on a friday this year, and fridays are the second busiest days for where i work, i'll probably be there all night.

I'm going to try and watch a few of these.

and its not halloween without the orginal night of the living dead. of course,halloween is a given the fact that it happens on halloween

I just can't imagine anyone not including the original "The Haunting" on their Halloween must-see list. The 1967 haunted house story is, in my humble opinion, the greatest ghost story ever put on film. I'm seeing things on other people's lists like "Ghost Ship" and "Blair Witch Project," while this film is not even mentioned (except by SAMUEL). If you haven't seen it, buy it by all means (just released on DVD in August).

I have also PVR'd some Friday the 13ths

also, going to launch another go at Buffy the series, try to pace myself, 1 or 2 episodes a week.
(one night I watched the entire season 1 in an overnight marathon)

I love this movie as well but since you are praising as much as you are, please at least get the release year correct, 1963 not 67.

Tarnower

Oops!

You're right. It is '63 not '67. I was just basing it on post from SAMUEL. Excuse my laziness.

I'm going to have some friends over and plan to show them films they have never seen, and/or never even heard of so I'll be staying away from the standard Halloween, Friday the 13th, etc... type films. I'll submit a list to them with different categories asking them which films they have seen and will pick from the remaining ones. Something like:

Classics:

The Haunting (1963), The Changeling, Rosemary's Baby, The Shining, The Omen, The Exorcist.

- This will be the hardest but I'm pretty sure none of them will have seen The Haunting and maybe The Changeling.

Italian:

Suspiria, The Beyond, Dellamorte Dellamore, Twitch of the Death Nerve, Cannibal Holocaust.

Asian:

Dark Waters, Kairo, The Eye, Ju-On: The Grudge, The Phone

Horror/Gore:

Dead Alive, Re-Animator, Evil Dead II, Necromantik, Day of the Dead.

When I'm sure about who will be coming I might adjust my choices since I don't want anyone to puke on my carpet. []

gutwrencher

yep....thats a must viddy.

Tarnower

Excellent choices All!!!

Although I would have to add the original "Halloween." Given that the holiday itself is the main timeframe, it's a no-brainer. And a damn scary film, to boot.

Calistoga

I'd go with:

Scream
Addams Family
Halloween
Beetlejuice
