Halloween Movie List

[Medic_wheat]

Okay so a friend and I are going to horror out every weekend of October.  His older son's (10 and 6) will also be watching the movies with us.  Granted we don't expect the youngest to watch much if any of the movies.  The older son I know will try and stick with it, because he wants to be seen as a equal and emulate his father already.

So here are the weekends:

EXAMPLE:

Oct 4, 5
Gremlins 1 & 2
Halloween
Friday the 13th
Jason
Pet cemetery

Oct 11, 12
Simpson's Halloween 3, 4, 6, 7
Deadspace 1-3
Nightmare Before Christmas
Corpse Bride

Oct 18, 19
Evil Dead
Evil Dead 2
Army of Darkness
Evil Dead remake
Bubba Ho-tep
The Woods
Man with the Screaming Brain
My Name Is Bruce
Drag Me to Hell

Oct 25, 26
Night of the Dead (Remake)
Dawn of the Dead
Day of the Dead
Night of the Living Dead 1 -3 (the rest sucked after the 3rd IMO)
Zombie

Let's make this fun!

Feel free to suggest good movies, TV series/special (like Simpson's Halloween Specials).  We are not into torture porn like Saw 2 and up. 

Also feel free to suggest good video games to play during the month of October ............


If you happen to know of any good halloween treats to eat that go well with movie/gaming that would be fun.

Like using food dye to turn nacho cheese redish and having bloody nachs (just making it up)

Or caramel popcorn! .....

Watch Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2, Army of Darkness, and the Evil Dead remake; then watch Bubba Ho-tep, The Woods, Man with the Screaming Brain, and My Name Is Bruce.  There's no such thing as too much Bruce.

I think I might have to include Firdays now as well

[InfraMan]

You should sneak The Abominable Dr. Phibes and Dr. Phibes Rises Again in there. The 10-year-old is bound to dig those... I know 10-year-old me did!

Also, I agree that too much Bruce Campbell is never enough Bruce Campbell.

I'm also on a quest to find some good scary movies during free time(s) throughout the month.  Here's one I found today...


Thought this one was good to listen/watch to during the day..  Has some creepiness to the Knights Templar monsters that are after the poor victims.  However expect lots of 70s cheese complete with bikini babes and the expected sexploitation sleaze....

Oh man, I love the Blind Dead series! The Ghost Galleon is actually my least favorite of the four, but still a fun watch.

Best Movie EVER

I am also trying to watch as many horror films as possible, but sadly most are not appropriate for my 10 year old daughter.

I'll try to watch some of the ones on your list, because it's fun.

Children of the Corn
From Dusk Till Dawn

They Live (maybe not considered horror though?)
Basket Case

Candyman (Love it)
Children of the Corn (kinda meh to me)
From Dusk Till Dawn (LOVE IT....but I don't think that pussy line will go well for a 10 yera old)
Re-Animator (First two were great)
They Live (maybe not considered horror though?) (Maybe...it has to do with aliens..and it's great)
Basket Case (Honestly never saw it......kinda never interested me)

[Paddyfitz18]

From Dusk Till Dawn (LOVE IT....but I don't think that pussy line will go well for a 10 yera old)

Oh yeah that's true.  I don't know how I could forget that part, but I did.

[Necromancer]

Drag Me To Hell is a good choice; the Lamia has been appeased.... for now.

[BlueBMW]

Very cheesy and kiddie.. but Hocus Pocus?

[esteban]

If you can find:

Dark Night of the Scarecrow (1981).

A personal fave since I was in 4th grade. It is probably corny/dated now, but I saw this in '84-'85, so it wouldn't have seemed as dated.

Anyway, you think this is just an average TV film, but there are so many great character actors and a few nods to Frankenstein...there is a genuine, honest spirit to this film that helps deliver its (rather simplistic) message with more power than most films.

Or, I'm just hopelessly nostalgic for this film.

Was it an Australian production? Thank god for Internet, I had a hell of a time finding anything on this back in the day.

ONE SCENE IN PARTICULAR IS HAUNTINGLY POIGNANT AND SHOULD BE REQUIRED FOR ALL FANS OF FILM.

I can't tell you which one (spoiler).

UPDATE: it's finally available on DVD. I just ordered it...wait, I didn't check NetFlix.
