Halloween Movies

Gemini Cricket · 10-20-2009, 08:54 PM

Each year, as Halloween approaches, I like to watch loads and loads of Horror/Sci-Fi movies. I have a list of what I've watched so far this year. (These are the original versions unless notated otherwise.)

Do you have any to add? I can use some recommendations.

Halloween
Friday the 13th
The Thing
The Thing (remake)
The Mist
Disney's Legend of Sleepy Hollow
Psycho
The Amityville Horror
The Fog
Dawn of the Dead (remake)
The Exorcist
Shaun of the Dead
The Sixth Sense
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
The Host
28 Days Later
28 Weeks Later
Rosemary's Baby
The Omen
Freaks
Jaws

Ones I have that I have yet to watch:
Let the Right One In
The Orphanage
The Ring

My Bloody Valentine
Silent Night Deadly Night (that also fits as a good Christmas movie, too)
House of 1000 Corpses

The Orphanage! I love it.

What about The Shining? Pan's Labyrinth? The Others?

Amusement park fans always enjoy a trip through a Dark Ride

...and don't forget the original dark-ride horror, The Funhouse (Book lovers will know that "Owen West" who wrote the screenplay, is actually Dean Koontz !!)

Nightmare Before Christmas is a must watch for us every year

IT.

And as much as I despise the franchise, the original Saw is decent - it's not torture porn.

The second one isn't gorenography, it's the third one that goes there...

Dead Alive
Bride of Reanimator
Hellraiser
Phantasm

and I love it so much, I'll say it again - DEAD ALIVE!

The Worst Witch, a wonderful, horrible, cheesy, 80's, delightful predecessor to Harry Potter, with Charlotte Rae in a dual role, Fairuza Balk, Diana Rigg, and Tim Curry - a young Tim Curry.

Hilarious, horrendous, and wonderful. Gotta love the "music video" segment starring Tim Curry with a plethora of bad 80's effects.

No really, I freaking love this little movie.

Fright Night
Chris Sarandon, his "special friend", Stephen Geoffreys as Evil Ed who later went on to make gay porn, and a pre Married with Children Amanda Bearse!
Vamp
Grace Jones as a vampire. 'nuff said

I can't say it better than Shawn McHorse "As near as we can tell, someone had access to a video editing machine with a number of different effects and was determined to use EVERY SINGLE ONE of them in this segment."

Enjoy the Velveeta here.
