My Top Movies to Get Into The Halloween Spirit

10/19/2012

 
Well, my favorite season is upon us. I would like to share 13 of my favorite movies. The kind that get me into the Halloween spirit. Let me know if I missed any of your favorites.
  • 20 - Drag Me to Hell - The Seance scene alone is enough reason to have it on this list.
  • 19 - Evil Dead - Sam Raimi's first movie has always been crazy fun. Watch it again. It's darker than you remember but still funny. It also launched the great Bruce Campbell's career. Thanks, Sam!
  • 18 - Halloween - Always add a movie to the list that has the name of the holiday in it. It helps that this is a great horror movie too.
  • 17 - "The Shining" - Pretentious people always add this to their list of favorite horror movies. I have to be in a mood for it, but it works. I do like the book better.
  • 16 - An American Werewolf in London - Stay on the road. Keep clear of the moors. Always good advice.
  • 15 - The Exorcist and The Exorcist 3 - I saw the Exorcist recently on blu-ray and it is too pretty. I liked it better on my old vhs. This movie needs to look dirty. Exorcist 3 has George C Scott and some very creepy scenes. If you haven't seen it, watch it. 
  • 14 - Waxwork and Monster Squad - This is another cheat, but these movies are just stupid fun. By the way, the wolfman has nards kid is dead.
  • 13 - Disney's Legend of Sleepy Hollow - Narrated by Bing Crosby it was a tradition to watch this as a kid. I still watch it every Halloween. The Headless Horseman will make another appearance on this list.
  • 12 - Lost Boys - Great vampires. An amazing soundtrack. A possibly gay, incestuous brother relationship....very, very creepy. This movie has something for everyone.
  • 11 - Sleepy Hollow - Headless Horseman, Tim Burton, Johnny Depp being weird, Christina Ricci in a corset. This movie makes me happy.
  • 10 - The Fog - The original version. If you liked the remake better, please stop reading now. This movie is my favorite John Carpenter movie.
  • 9 - Insidious - The Tip Toe Through the Tulips scene really creeps me out.
  • 8 - Fright Night - Once again, I'm talking about the original even though I didn't have major problems with the remake.
  • 7 - Shaun of the Dead - A great zomromcom. This team shouldn't stop making movies together. Zombieland isn't bad either.
  • 6 - Poltergeist - This movie is the reason why everyone thinks their house is haunted by a poltergeist.
  • 5 - The Sixth Sense - My favorite kid sees dead people movie. A truly great movie.
  • 4 - The Nightmare Before Christmas - C'mon who doesn't like this movie. It is also one of my favorite Christmas movies. 
  • 3 - Trick r Treat - See this movie. I wish there was another one. If you haven't seen it. Go right now. We will wait.
  • 2 - The Changeling - Another George C Scott movie. I love this movie with every fiber of my being. This really is a great horror movie.
  • 1 - Ghostbusters - A movie that changed my life. This movie is one of the reasons I do what I do.
Bonus - Se7en, Silence of the Lambs, Watcher in the Woods, The Lady in White, The Woman in Black, The Amityville Horror and Stir of Echoes. You can't go wrong with any of these either.
Hope you enjoyed my list. Let me know yours.
