I know it's still July, but it's never too early to start thinking about your Halloween playlists. What movies can you not go without watching during October? I'm looking for something new to add in, preferably set during the Halloween season.
My usuals include the Halloween series, Night of the Living Dead, Dracula, Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein Ernest Scared Stupid (classic!), and most recently added Trick r Treat as a mainstay. The rest of the lineup will vary year to year. I'm thinking I will revisit the old Hammer Dracula and Frankenstein series this year. How about the rest of you?

I do the Evil Dead trilogy (try to incorporate it as a drinking game)
Original Halloween Omen and Exorcist
Nightmare before christmas (yes, I know)
Rocky Horror Picture Show (see above comment)
I try to get The Bride in every couple of years
I don't know why - but I try to get in Time Bandits also0 -
Poltergeist is a good spooky Halloween movie.
I guess there is also the Paranormal Activites if you like those. They seem to come out around Halloween anyway.0 -
Don't have a specific list of movies that we watch during Octobeer, but we try to make it a point to only watch horror that month. If I were to make a play list, I think it would go something like this:
October 1: Saw
October 2: Saw 2
October 3: Saw 3
October 4: Saw 4
October 5: Saw 5
October 6: Saw 6
October 7: Saw 7
October 8: Trick R Treat
October 9: The Ring
October 10: Shocker (it's bad, but I love it)
October 11: New Nightmare
October 12: Scream
October 13: Cabin in the Woods (I hope it's out on DVD by then)
October 14: The Lost Boys
October 15: Paranormal Activity
October 16: Paranormal Activity 2
October 17: Paranormal Activity 3
October 18: The Descent
October 19: Campfire Tales
October 20: Cube
October 21: Freddy vs. Jason (it's just fun)
October 22: Joy Ride
October 23: Red Eye
October 24: Stir of Echoes
October 25: The Monster Squad
October 26: The Hitcher
October 27: The Gate
October 28: 28 Days Later
October 29: Army of Darkness
October 30: The Nightmare Before Christmas
October 31: Not sure what I would watch the actual night. Maybe Seven, or Silence of the Lambs since my wife likes those.0 -
Tower of Terror (one of the best Disney Original Movies) took place during Halloween. Maybe that one is fun too?0
-
Halloween 3 is my yearly go-to. It's the only one of them that captures halloween for me.
Recently I added Trick r' Treat as well but there aren't many flicks that offer up that yummy autumnal atmosphere. You could try "Satan's Little Helper" - it's not great, but it does deliver on the Seaonal feel at least.
Oh, and I always read Ray Bradbury's "The October Country" too.0 -
I really should watch those paranomal movies.0

Unfortunately since I work overnights It's hard for me to set up a movie watching schedule. A lot of the time I'll see what's on tv while I'm here at work and watch that. On halloween night I usually like to try and fit in a Vincent Price marathon.0
-
We've started celebrating early. So far, we've watched:
Campfire Tales
Disturbing Behavior
Next is Shutter (the version with Joshua Jackson).
We also watched A Perfect Getaway and Pandorum, but we watched those because we bought them over a year ago and still hadn't watched them, though they fit the theme.0 -
Also, when my wife and I were looking at our DVD collection to decide what we were going to watch, we counted and saw we have over 100 horror movies. We ended up each choosing 10 movies and see how far we get with those 20. I've got 12 hour days at work, counting the commute and she's got a part time job and is going to school, so we'll see how far we get.0

I never have an actual must watch on Halloween. I am always trying to watch what I haven't seen and am always watching horror. So I set my dvr to record anything I haven't seen on any of the channels that play non stop horror during Oct. like AMC or Syfy......
Most recent I watched : Hellraiser: Inferno, Stake Land, Demons 2, Clawed: Legend of the Sasquatch, A Horrible Way to Die, Corridor, Snow Beast, Howling Reborn and Creature.0 -
for some reason lately been wanting to watch Lake Placid again - just to see Betty White swear up a storm0
-
Two more knocked out this weekend. Watched "Shutter" (blah) and "Army of Darkness" (always funny). Also started "Scream."0
-
I don't really have a playlist, but I'm going to host an Alien franchise night in the month of October. I'm hoping there will be some sort of deluxe version/director's cut of Prometheus if not I'll still add it to my collection.0
-
Got Scream watched. Still holds up.
Then we watched Hocus Pocus. I've never watched the whole thing before. Not bad.
Also watched The Cabin in the Woods. Wife still loved it, I still thought it was good, but not great.0 -
re-watched the original Thing
Watched Swamp Thing this weekend (that was a bonus for sure)0 -
Recently I added Trick r' Treat as well but there aren't many flicks that offer up that yummy autumnal atmosphere.
That is my go-to for Halloween. I even made a Sam Hain plushie for my husband. :laugh:0 -
I figured that since things are so boring here where I work I will be able to fit in at least one movie a night while I'm here at work (I work in a group home taking care of developementally disabled adults) so I will be able to get my horror movie marathon in.
Since my friend and I recently went to a horror convention we both agreed that this year we would do a marathon of movies that have the people that we met in them...so after going through my dvd collection I came up with this list:
Hatchet 1 & 2
Friday the 13th (original plus Jason Takes Manhattan and Jason X)
Halloween 1 & 2 (remake plus original of part 1)
Carrie (original)
Night of the Living Dead (original)
Saw 3
Insidious
The Hills Have Eyes (original part 1 and remake part 2)
Phantasm
Masters of Horror: Pro-Life
Pumpkinhead Blood Wings
His Name Was Jason 30 Years of Friday the 13th (documentary)0 -
took in another movie last night - Chopped - was a funny b movie0
-
TamAD48 good idea
I watched Innkeepers the other night and I really liked it however the love from other viewers wasn't shared. Plus I saw Farmhouse, The Brood and Vile recently that I also enjoyed. Tonight I will be watching Intruders which I am hoping will be a good one 0 -

you have never watched all of Nightmare before Christmas? you for sure need to fix this0 -
I AM fixing it. Currently up to the part where he's tried explaining what Christmas is. I've seen enough of the movie that the whole thing makes sense. Just haven't watched every single minute of it.0

I have no idea why all the faces and what they mean.
We don't have time anymore to sit and watch a movie all the way through, so we watch them in 30-60 min increments.0 -
wow - that sucks not getting to watch a movie all the way through
last night we did the Evil Dead drinking game - it was fun - next week - Army of Darkness0 -
It does, but I'm pretty used to it because that's what I was doing for months when I was watching netflix while I did the treadmill. So it's not that different.0
-
Finished Nightmare Before Christmas and watched The Cabin in the Woods again (almost saw the whole thing in one sitting!). Final movie: Trick 'r Treat. Planning on watching it tomorrow.0
-
tonight is Army of Darkness drinking game
got caught up through season 2 of Walking Dead0 -
I saw that season 2 was on Netflix, but since I don't know when I'll be able to watch all of them, I watched about 40 minutes of The Clinic. I'm interested to see where it goes.0
