Movies for Halloween

[Evan]

Halloween is nearly a month away, and Im almost ready. But what movie(s) to watch?
I ordered Teenage Zombies and its coming soon, and the immortal classic Halloween is a watch for haloween.
Some other films that are good to watch for Halloween:
Evil Dead
Horror Hotel
Screaming Skull
I Bury the Living

But what are some other good movies towatch for halloween?

I watch Night of the Living Dead every year. Last year I watched Army of Darkness with it but every year, like ritual it's Night of the Living Dead.

It's the perfect horror movie.

Leading up to Halloween, I always have to watch:

Halloween 3
Bride of Chucky
Child's Play 2
Friday the 13th parts 2 and 3

And on Halloween night itself:

Slumber Party Massacre
Sorority House Massacre 2:  Nightie Nightmare

Maybe this year I'll pick up It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown.   I also catch a bunch of stuff on TV, Monstervision and whatever.  Old classic stuff that I don't have on DVD, preferably obscure.  Usually the Independent Film Channel has some oddball stuff, unfortunately I usually end up turning them off before the movie is half over.  However, it's always worth a try.

Jesus, man.  I didn't think anyone watched Halloween 3.

Jesus, man.  I didn't think anyone watched Halloween 3.

I like to watch Halloween 3 on occasion too. Its a great halloween movie itself too. The story is a very halloween-ish one and the music is awesome.

I'm not a fan of HALLOWEEN 3 either, but to each his own.  I have IT'S THE GREAT PUMPKIN CHARLIE BROWN, but if I recall correctly, it is edited from the original broadcast (at least I know for sure the VHS videotape was--edited out is Charlie Brown's repeated and funny comment: "I got a rock" which occurs once on the videotape).  GREAT PUMPKIN is my favorite of all the Peanuts programs, including the movies. 
I am very particular what I will watch Halloween, and don't like disturbing or slasher pix, but rather some old-fashioned chills...
I would recommend for Halloween night:
RETURN TO GLENNASCAUL (1953 ~ available only on VHS and marketed as ORSON WELLES' GHOST STORY) a nearly forgotten short film which is superb.  Check it out on Amazon:

THE UNINVITED (1944) also only available on VHS:

THE OLD DARK HOUSE (1932) available on DVD:   
http://www.amazon.com/Old-Dark-House-Boris-Karloff/dp/B00000ILEU/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-8935206-2998565?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1189736734&sr=1-1
I also like a little cheese on Halloween:
SON OF DRACULA (available on DVD with DRACULA'S DAUGHTER):
http://www.amazon.com/Draculas-Daughter-Dracula-Otto-Kruger/dp/B00005LC4J/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-8935206-2998565?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1189736888&sr=1-1

I like to watch a werewolf or zombie film (or undead Templar movie).  I know that Paul Westbrook watches "The Midnight Hour" every year in celebration of Halloween:

PHANTASM and the COUNT YORGA films have excellent atmosphere for Halloween. I agree with The Old Dark House, and am kind of intrigued with The Midnight Hour (And Spookies). I haven't given myself a Halloween moviethon yet, perhaps this will be the year?

I did a Dracula marathon last year (I know, how original) in increasing order of quality. I started with Bram Stoker's Dracula, Dracula 3000 and a bottle of absinthe and worked my way up from there until I ended with the Spanish version of 1931's Dracula and Nosferatu. This time I'm likely to spend the day in a foreign country bereft of my collection so I'm going to have to pick one or maybe two movies beforehand to bring with me. I'm thinking Dead Alive for one and trying to work out the other.

Some other films that are good to watch for Halloween:
Evil Dead
Horror Hotel
Screaming Skull
I Bury the Living

Yikes, are we twins or something? I've watch these four so many times I can't remember. Another one I like to watch is Night Of The Demons. Takes place on Halloween too!

[hellbilly]

The Hazing (2004) makes for a perfect watch around Halloween. It's one of the rare cases of horror-comedies that are actually funny and gory. Plus, it takes place on Halloween. Another recommended title is Monster Man (2003), which also delivers the goods.

[KYGOTC]

Ive gotten into the habbit of watching a bunch of simpsons TREEHOUSE OF HORROR episodes every halloween.

[Shadow]

I like a good haunted house movie for Halloween, so maybe The Haunting, The Legend of Hell House, The Amityville Horror or Burnt Offerings.

[RCMerchant]

 Boy! Lotta my Halloween favorites been picked!
NIGHT of the LIVING DEAD
BRIDE of the MONSTER
ABBOTT and COSTELLO meet FRANKENSTEIN...and
HALLOWEEN! of course!

My wife's friends are planning a big Halloween party this year, and since they know I have a fairly large collection, I've been tasked with picking the films for the night.

Here is what I'm thinking about at the moment.  I haven't really sat down and planned anything out.

Halloween

Evil Dead

Re-Animator

Leif Jonker's Darkness

Night Of The Living Dead


Keep in mind that my wife's friends are not horror fans and I'm 99% sure they've not seen any of the films listed.  Should make for a fun time.
