Best halloween movies of all time.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!!!

So what does it for you? Ghouls? Hobgoblins? Vampires? Moth-eaten werewolves with fangs? I've been thinking, every halloween, somehow I'm the one that ends up passing out candy, so I end up stuck in front of the TV watching some old scary movie, and stopping to answer the door every five minutes.

But then I was struck with a thought. Aha!!!! What if I invited a bunch of people over in costume, and moved a couch, a bunch of chairs and a big TV outside, and had an all night outdoors fright night film fest? We could keep all the candy right there, and people could come and go, watch the scary movies, get candy, maybe play a game or two, and have a good old time in general.

But what movies? (and now is the time to start getting them together.)

I'm thinking start with Nightmare Before Christmas (popular and since it's early, there'll be more kids.) Then work my way straight into the gore and guts with Evil Dead II. It's Bruce Campbell, you can't lose. Follow up with Dead and Breakfast, it's new, it's cheesy, it's brilliant, and it's got David Carridine. Then I'll hit 'em hard and fast with The Crow.

After that, I'm thinking it needs a touch of 80's camp, like Fright Night or Lost Boys, but I haven't completely ruled out Monster Squad ("wolfman's got nads?") That'll bring us to maybe one in the morning, then a quick one two punch for anyone left standing with The Grudge, What Lies Beneath, then finish 'em of with Thirteen Ghosts, and lastly my personal favorite, the old Night of the Living Dead (the only one ever to give me nightmares.)

These are some of my halloween favorites, what's yours?

I feel that newer movies like the Ring, Grudge, and the such, tend to be to visual, too in your face

Possibly. And the Halloween slasher flicks are your idea of subtle? I like them a lot, and have since years back. However the Grudge ate my liver for lunch, with Fava Beans and a nice Chianti. (or chardonnay if you read the Thomas Harris book.)

The Thing

Great film. I don't usually think of it as a Halloween movie though. I don't know why. I particularly loved the bit when they blew off that guy's head, and it sprouted spider legs and started running around. Now THAT was spooky.

The Ninth Gate

Good halloween film, very dark satanic theme. And the girl was extremely hot, devil or not. My favorite bit was when Depp walked up to her and she was reading the paperback version of How to Win Friends and Influence People. I haven't seen the others yet, but I might. The trailer for Eraserhead is kind of disturbing.

Well so many good ones have been mentioned already.

How about the first "Halloween" movie? If you like older movies another good one that alot of people forget is "The Uninvited".

"The Rocky Horror Picture Show" would be a good Halloween movie. People could even dress up as some of the characters.

You could always start off your Halloween film bash will a cartoon too, "It's a Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown".
