My marathons usually work on series. So I will generally just get a few Halloweens or a couple NOES's.

For a party. I pick movies with little story and lots of action. So you can drink and talk and only half pay attention to the TV. I have had a Halloween party at my house every year for the last 4 years or so.
The movies I showed where: Bad Taste Dead Alive Land of the Dead Evil Dead 2 Killer Klowns from Outer Space Hard to Die aka Sorority House Massacre 3 28 Weeks Later Halloween 2 Friday the 13th part 4 Chainsaw Sally I dont know what I am going to go with this year. Street Trash will probably be one of the flicks. |

Halloween, Evil Dead, and Nightmare on Elm Street are essentials on Halloween night.
Halloween Friday the 13th A Nightmare on Elm Street An American Werewolf in London The Frighteners Evil Dead 1 and 2 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later The Thing Alien Texas Chainsaw Massacre Dog Soldiers The Descent The Lost Boys Jaws We used to watch Gremlins until one time my friend pointed it out that we should watch it closer to Christmas so lately we have. And Im going to have to check out Trick R Treat and that may have to go on the list |

Awesome, I've been waiting for this thread to pop up.
I'm pretty religious when it comes down to Halloween/Octoberthons. First Three Weeks I try to watch all new films I have yet to view. Even if they are crap, I just try to tear through them. The Week Leading Up to... Alien Aliens The Evil Dead Evil Dead 2 Army of Darkness Eyes Without a Face Beetlejuice Big Trouble in Little China So I Married an Axe Murderer A Nightmare Before Christmas Magic Jacob's Ladder and... New Hallows Eve Black Christmas ![]() and at midnight: John Carpenter's The Thing ![]() Last edited by FireCaptain4; 10-09-2009 at 12:42 AM.. |

I love how you skipped over Freddy's Dead. I, personally, really dislike that entry and it's the one I don't own. At least ANOES 2 is funny and has that great moment where Freddy tears through that gay ki--*AH-HURM*--I mean, Jesse's belly.

Last year we did CarpenterFest, so I'm not sure if we're gonna pick another director or just go with SequelFest instead since this is the second annual party.
Dawn of the Dead Halloween 2 Nightmare on Elm Street 2 The Devil's Rejects Child's Play 2 Critters 2 28 Weeks Later Jeepers Creepers 2 Friday the 13th Part 2 |

A few years ago in augusta ga the Imperial had a Evil Dead Marathon (tickets were like $7 for all 3 movies) and they sold beer. I got to say it was most fun.
I got to say with so many good dvds coming out this month I would go with Drag Me to Hell, Trick r Treat and maybe the b classic the Gate |

This year I'm gonna have an 80's horror marathon
Superstition (atmospheric witch/haunted house movie) Hell Night Friday The 13th Part 2 (I love watching this on Halloween for some reason) The Lost Boys Near Dark (I actually haven't watched it yet, but I will on that special day) Pet Sematary A Nightmare On Elm Street I'm sure I'll watch more but I cant think of any right now. |

That's what stinks. It never seems like I have enough free time in October to watch all the movies I'd like to for Halloween.

I'm showing these, and maybe more, on the 24th for my annual Halloween party:
Invaders From Mars (1986) Tourist Trap Troll 2 Drag Me to Hell Night of the Creeps Halloween 3: Season of the Witch |

This will actually be my first year in many years that I won't be having a Halloween Party. I've done it since the sixth grade so that's gonna take some getting used to. It was always a highlight of my year because we always had such fun. However, I'll still try to have a day where I watch all my favorites. I don't have all my dvds (went to college so currently have about 10 of my dvds with me) but I'll be going home the weekend before Halloween so I'm going to attempt to bring back some of my favorite horror films.
These are what I'm most likely to watch: Halloween An American Werewolf in London A Nightmare on Elm Street The Descent Fright Night The Shining Evil Dead A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors I'm sure most of those will be leading up to Halloween since I know I'll be out the day of. |

This years its: Halloween Halloween 2 Halloween H20 Creepshow Trick R' Treat The Fog The Howling Bubba Ho-Tep Adding Night of the Creeps to the list because of its upcoming DVD release! Fuck yes! |

Trick R Treat is definitely my new top pick.

I would probably start off with something strong and work from there.
1. Dead Alive 2. Creepshow 3. Friday the 13th 4. Trick 'r Treat 5. House of 1,000 Corpses 6. Night of the Creeps 7. American Werewolf in London 8. The Howling 9. The Thing The Thing would be my closer because when you start strong you've got to finish even stronger. |

So I'm scheduling ~24 hrs of films over Fri/Sat/Sunday. Mixture of classics, gore, horror comedy, and bad (fun) movies. Some will probably be bumped by whatever Netflix delivers to me late next week.
Current lineup: Friday: Tourist Trap The Descent Re-Animator Saturday: The Blob (1988) Halloween (Carpenter) Halloween 2 (Carpenter) Troll 2 The Dentist Maniac Cop Horror Express The Serpent and the Rainbow Sunday: Cabin Fever Abominable Dr Phibes Maximum Overdrive City of the Living Dead It's Alive The Brood Freddy vs Jason |

I mostly watch all my flicks the day before Halloween, then finish with one on Halloween. Here's my list:
House by the cemetery Night of the Demon (yes, with Bigfoot, from the 80s) Friday part 4 Stagefright Trick OR Treat(not trick r treat) Night of the demons Evil Dead - I started a tradition of watchin Evil Dead only on Halloween 6 years ago. There is something very special about this flick when you only visit it once a year, especially when that day is Halloween. It is the perfect autumn film to close out October and lead you into November. |
