[Kester Pelagius]

If you're looking for something different try....

THE ANTICHRIST (aka L'Anticristo)
THE EERIE MIDNIGHT HORROR SHOW
THE VAMPIRE HAPPENING
COUNT DRACULA'S GREAT LOVE
BLOOD FOR DRACULA
FLESH FOR FRANKENSTEIN


OR if you're looking for something REALLY different try....

NUDE FOR SATAN
SEXUAL PARASITE: KILLER PU$$Y

[Rev. Powell]

This is what I decided to go with this year:



I also may check out some of TCMs Halloween lineup: http://www.tcm.com/thismonth/article/?cid=208674

Cat People, Freaks, The Devil Doll, Mark of the Vampire, The Devil Bat, White Zombie, The Body Snatcher, Bedlam, The Ghoul

Lots of recommended classic horror there: CAT PEOPLE, FREAKS, WHITE ZOMBIE, & THE BODY SNATCHER are the cream in my opinion.

Nope.  I'm treating myself this Halloween. 

[Allhallowsday]

On my list for this year are:
White Noise (great if you are a ghost lover, otherwise you probably wouldn't like it)
Texas Chain Saw Massacre (the original, I've never seen it)

Another year we watched:
Halloween (I know it's on all the time, but I hadn't seen it since it came out)
The Fog (original with Adrienne Barbeau)

You won't soon forget TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE.  It's the granddaddy of them all.  Though LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT predates it by nearly 2 years and is as important (though loathsome) TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE is never absurd, does not resort to parlor tricks, and it's always true to the vision: the soundtrack of droning gnawing threat is extremely important for the stunning effect... never does the film do what we expect, never is the image not interesting or horrifying, never are we not anxious... or downright terrified... still holds up real well and right quick, watched it this past week on IFC...!!  Who complained 'bout my IFC...??   As BUGS would say: "Love it!  Lo-ou-ove it...!!"

Uhm hmmm... Have you seen BEDLAM?  It's horrible and gets a bit freaky and THE GHOUL is so rarely shown and creaky enough to interest not only the novice but the diehard who hasn't seen it (I have a Sinister Cinema VHS from many years ago...and that's how I finally got to see it after years of reading about it...)  All of the rest are well worth a look see, FREAKS for one is not exactly my cherzs for HALLOWEEN, but certainly acceptable and all good flicks.  I hope to catch MARK, BAT and ZOMBIE... Thanks, REV.

I only caught a small bit of BEDLAM one Halloween (when it was shown on AMC) and hope to catch the whole thing this year.  Needed to complete my Val Lewton checklist.

Re. Val Lewton checklist --

When fantasizing about owning my own movie-theatre, I would program the same double feature every year for Halloween night.  First, something for all ages:  Val Lewton's "Curse of the Cat People" -- I would call this a perfect "first" horror film for kids, as all is resolved by the end, but the chills are real, and the atmospherics first-rate.

Then, I would follow with something for the older crowd:  "Quatermass and The Pit aka 5 Million Years to Earth" -- The film with just about everything:  Bugs from Mars, WW2, dinosaur skeletons, ESP, ghosts, demons, goblins, Weird Science . . . well, I've rhapsodised about this film before.  Anyone caring to know what I'm like, this is one film that hits just about every interest I have.  An exercise in pure imagination.

Re. "Bedlam" -- This film tricks you.  Nothing that comes before really prepares you for the moments that they finally get inside the asylum.  Not a good film for claustrophobics . . . This would be a good film if you were doing a Lewton double-feature to pair with "The Body Snatchers", as many of the sets are similar.

Mr Vampire is what I'm planning on watching, one of my all time favorites.
