Our Movie Choice for Halloween...Follow

IT was a joke. The acting was poorly done and some of the lines just sounded really cheesey. Also, the special effects were pretty weak. If you're going to recommend any Stephen King movie for horror, it has to be The Shining. Those twins still creep me out.

Just a few more suggestions:

The Haunting. The 1963 version. This scared the **** out of me as a kid.

Something Wicked This Way Comes. Family friendly and not a bad movie.

Carnival of Souls. Low budget, but rather eerie.

And of course, just about any of the Hammer horror films. Gothic goodness at its finest.

Pop some popcorn, pour a beverage of your choice, turn off the lights, wrap up in a blanket and you are set!

Of those, I'd have to say that Dracula and The Mummy still scare the bejeebus outta me. The Frankenstein flicks and The Wolfman were awesome though.

Now, American Werewolf in London was a great flick as well, but I've only seen it once and that was at the theater. That movied f'ed me up it was so damn scary, especially when the guy killed and ate the bunny. Talk about being psychologically damaged! (Me, I mean.) Loved the comedy parts of it though!



Well, I only watched them for the vampiric lesbian goodness. Ingrid Pitt FTW!



I loved that movie, too and dammit if Bela Lugosi didn't scare me in that one, too!

I can always go for teh good ol' zombie trilogy (no I don't mean the Return of the Living Dead).

Thank you George Romero.

I will always hold a place in my heart for Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead and Day of the Dead.

As for Land of the Dead, I was so ashamed of Romero after watching that, never again, never again ::sniffles::

This one scared me, too! I went to the midnight showing with a friend. When I got home about 3am, stupid dog down the block started howling. I never got into the house quicker in all my life!

American Werewolf in Paris was not as good as American Werewolf In London but is still a great movie.

I personaly plan to rent and watch Saw 1 on the 30th and then go see Saw 2 in the theatres on the 31st, should scare the hell out of me good!












That has got to be the funniest movie ever made, it ranks near the top on my best of all time list.

Young Frankenstein is one of my all time favorites. American Werewolf in London was damned scary when I first saw it. I am also a big fan of any Bela Lugosi (Sr. or Jr.) film.

On All Hallow's Eve I usually break out the old Vincent Price movies...Tomb of Ligeia, Masque of the Red Death, etc. I prefer the old suspense and terror movies to the shock and gore of more modern horror flicks.

If I'm going to read on Halloween, it’s all about Edgar Allen Poe.

It would be great if one of the Encore channels did a Night Gallery marathon.

***** the movies its all about Old Time Radio on Halloween:

Lights Out
Inner Sanctum
CBS Radio Mystery
and Nightfall

Lugosi

There you go. Most of Jr's stuff is narrating things regarding his fathers work. It’s more documentary than acting. He's a lawyer

Lon Chaney Sr/Jr. movies rock too.

Edit: Oh and I have a special appreciation for Killer Clowns from Outerspace. That movie absolutely terrified my friend ex-fiance. So much so she didnt even want it in his collection. When she broke up with him we sent her a package with the DVD and a bunch of stuffed clowns.

I just watched "The Corpse Bride", thats this years favourite for me

Tim Burton has that magic touch, with Mr Depp

I simply loved the movie. It is such a classic love story and fairy tale with a Tim Burton twist, everything is there .. love, tragedy, villains and heros.

I cannot wait for Pirates 2 next year ....
