10 best movies to watch on Halloween.

[ColonelColinCaine]

Yeah, it's a little early, but I always like to plan ahead. Here they are:
(Please post your favorites so I can have an idea of what else to rent on Halloween.)

1.(tie) Halloween 1 and 2
2. Evil Dead
3. Night of the Living Dead (original and remake)
4. John Carpenter's The Thing
5. The Blair Witch Project
6. Dawn of the Dead
7. A Nightmare on Elm Street
8. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
9. Fright Night
10. Phantasm

Now, these aren't all necessarily the scariest movies ever made. I just think they're perfect for increasing the creepy atmosphere on Halloween.

Where is "The Cell" ? /ubb/wink.gif
It won't be on video this Halloween though /ubb/frown.gif

I'd also add "Phantom of the Paradise" (1974) and "Beetlejuice" (1988) in the horror/comedy section /ubb/biggrin.gif , as well as "Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" (1921) in the B&W section.

The Nightmare Before Christmas. Even though that fat guy in the red suit is in it.

Where's The Exorcist??????? How can you leave that off your list?

[ColonelColinCaine]

Haven't seen it pink-moose, so I can't put it on my list.

[ColonelColinCaine]

Come on, guys, I'm going to need some more ideas about what else might be good terror-inducing fun on Halloween. I want something that will have me pissing myself for weeks afterward.(Don't say The Exorcist, since it will be extremely difficult for me to get ahold of a copy without my mom finding out.)
