Hey all,

It's almost that time....and being a special effects makeup artist, it's REALLY great time.....Needless to say movies are a bog part of creating the Halloween Atmosphere for me....

What are some of your favorite "Horror" movies to watch around Halloween to create a creepy atmosphere....


I like:

- The Wicker Man
- American Werewolf in London
- The Fog
- Night Of The Living Dead 90'

....and about 50 others....OK, maybe not 50...

Your turn.....


(I wonder if we can strategically add to/bump this thread everyday to keep it up-front until Halloween...hhmm...?)

Thanks,

Matt

Since this is more about movies than anything specific to DVDs, moving to Movie Talk.

Not a horror movie, but I try to watch The Crow every Halloween.

Gigli

add to the showing of "Gigli" a screening of that "From Justin to Kelly" movie and watch them scream in terror.

Trick or Treat

Dog Soldiers has some pretty good scares and some pretty good laughs ("...sausages!").

American Werewolf in London
either Texas Chainsaw Massacre-the re-vamp isn't that bad IMO
any Dawn of the Dead
Any old monster movie from the Legacy set!
House of 1000 Corpses-hey, it is a Halloween movie

Halloween
The Fog
The Thing
Prince of Darkness

Lady in White
Vincent Price/Corman films (all of 'em)
Curse of the Demon
The Fog
Halloween 1, 2 and yes - 3 (for atmosphere)

and for fun every year I watch ELVIRA Mistress of the Dark (and now her newer film Haunted Hills!)

Blair Witch Project

The Changeling

The Exorcist

Pumpkinhead

Too bad the Pumpkinhead DVD sucks.

Horror Movies:
Halloween
The Blair Witch Project
Night Of The Living Dead

Non-Horror Movies:
Ghostbusters

Usually I watch The exorcist and the Original Halloween, every halloween

The Exorcist
Halloween
Night of the Living Dead
Last House on the Left
Maniac

and when the booze settles in by the end of the night, throw in
Evil Dead or Evil Dead II for some light hearted horror...

and if you're really drunk and still have a blood lust...
Cannibal: The Musical

Ahhhhhh.......I love these threads

My picks:

Dawn of the Dead '04 (and if it gets pushed back again, there will be hell to pay - I've had enough).

American Werewolf in London - how can you not love this flick?

House of 1000 Corpses - like the Doc said, it's a Halloween movie.

The Blair Witch Project - As a person who goes camping almost every chance they get, this is a must see for me.

Well to keep it current I will be rewatching some of the recent releases like:

Night of the Demons
Witchboard
Shaun of the Dead
Candyman SE
and Dawn of the Dead (possibly newer one too)

Of course I always get nostalgic for some Evil Dead action so one of those atleast will be watched. And as usual I will have to throw in Suspiria.

I will try to watch the following in the month of october.here are the titles I will be watching in the month of october.

RESIDENT EVIL
FREDDY VS. JASON
THE EVIL DEAD
PHANTASM 4
UNDERWORLD
I, MADMAN
THE BOSTON STRANGLER
GINGER SNAPS 2
GINGER SNAPS 3
GINGER SNAPS
ELVIRA,MISTRESS OF THE DARK
A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET
WES CRAVEN’S NEW NIGHTMARE
HALLOWEEN 4:THE RETURN OF MICHAEL MYERS
HALLOWEEN 2
FINAL DESTINATION 2
CARNIVAL OF SOULS(1962)
28 DAYS LATER
WRONG TURN
BUBBA HO-TEP
texas chainsaw massacre(remake)

Suspiria is a good pick - although for me, I tend to get too freaked out by that damn ending (one of the best in horror IMO) and the beginning. Damn, now I have to watch it.

I've already started my Halloween marathon since there are so many I want to fit in this year. I'm trying to focus on movies I haven't seen before or at least movies I haven't seen in a while mixed with a few annual favorites.

I'm also going to watch the classic Universal flicks (including the 2nd batch coming out later in October) with my son, he's never see them. Halloween weekend is reserved for these.

There will be more if I have time between now and Halloween

Great list Freud!!! Now I have to plan out my schedule for the rest of the way.... hopefully at least one horror movie a night!

Nice to see some love for HO1kC.

I forgot to add that I plan on a Texas Chainsaw Massacre double feature one night (old & new). I also forgot The Fog - annual favorite.

I wish I could find a copy of Monster Squad somewhere. I would even watch a VHS version since it's been so long since I've seen it.

Geez, there are so many listed above that I forgot about that my Halloween marathon may run into Thanksgiving

I usually mix them up pretty well. Some of my favs are:

Friday the 13th
Halloween
Hell Night
Scream Of Fear
Night of the Demons
The Ghost and Mr. Chicken
The Hollywood Knights
It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown

It doesn't seem like Halloween without Charlie and his bag of rocks!
