favorite halloween movies?

favorite halloween movies?

I'd have to say one of the scariest , creepiest movies was by my favorite Writer Stephen King.. The film is called The Storm of the Century....it was originally a tv mini series.. Watch it in the dark.. Lol I bought the DVDs 6 or so years ago.. The best I guess it's not a Halloween film but it's a great scary movie.
 
Been a fan of the following:

Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original)
Hellraiser (first one only)
Friday The 13! (first one)
Halloween (one and two)


I actually like Hocus Pocus, SJP character is pretty funny.
 
We like quite a few horror movies, but there are some that we save for Halloween specifically.

One that’s been on our watch list for a few years now is Trick 'r Treat, in fact, we just watched it this past weekend 🙂

Trick 'r Treat is a 2007 American-Canadian anthology horror film written and directed by Michael Dougherty. The film stars Dylan Baker, Brian Cox and Anna Paquin, and centers on four Halloween-related horror stories. One common element that ties the stories together is the presence of Sam, a mysterious pint-sized trick-or-treater wearing shabby orange pajamas with a burlap sack over his head, that makes an appearance in all the stories whenever someone breaks Halloween traditions.

Despite being delayed for two years and having a very limited theatrical release, the film received much critical acclaim and has since garnered a strong cult following.[3] In October 2013, the filmmakers announced that a sequel, Trick 'r Treat 2, is in the works.

Also (of course 🙂 ), the original Halloween 1 and 2, and the amazing nothing-to-do-with-Michael-Myers Halloween 3: Season of the Witch

While it's not technically a movie since it was first broadcasted on TV... Anyhow, the best of the best Halloween show of all time, It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.😎😎

I love it. My kids loved it. Even the blockhead down the street loves it.

+100 😀

Also in our standard Halloween rotation to watch (and we did!), and while we actually own it on disc, there’s something fun about watching it on the network broadcast.

I second this movie. It bothered me so much that I have it on my list of movies to watch next decade, not before. No great scenes of gore, just a slow descent into helplessness.

The Storm of the century was on cable 10 or so years ago, and it was winter there was a fire in the fireplace a massive storm outside. I was the only one awake at midnight, all things to make it even more creepier . Lol the part of the movie I still see in my mind, is when the lights go off while the main character Andre Linoge.. Is in the jail cell.. His eyes!!
 
I thought I posted already in this thread - oh well.

I like the old vampire movies, before the Bram Stroker Dracula in 1992. That is the somewhat campy, low budget stuff of the 70s and 60s 🙂
 
For a few years now, I've been watching Secret Window (based on the stephen king book) on Halloween. Not a very iconic film, but it has just the right spirit for me 🙂

Lol, I love that quote.. It's actually funnier,
People must think I'm a very strange person. That is not correct. I have the heart of a small boy. I keep it in a glass jar on my desk . Stephen King-

He is the master of horror ..
