Ghost Busters 2 with my son. We watched the original Ghost Busters already. Last night I watched Halloween, the original version, but only after my little one went to sleep.

It's nice watching movies about ghosts, without a family member piping up that the afterlife doesn't really work that way.

Watched Tucker and Dale vs Evil the other night. I LOVE this movie!!

We watched this the other night; it is a great movie. Now its one of my favorite "scary" movies, if you can call it that.

After eating out, Ms. Fossilman and I will be watching Toy Story of Terror and probably Zombieland. It'll be pouring rain down here in la-la land so we don't expect many halloweenees.

Commas are very useful. :-)

I had the exact same thought Levi. Dirty minds think alike! :D

After to movies.

Yes, yes they are.

We like "Practical Magic" with Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman.

It's cute and not too spooky.

As a tbm I could NOT handle really scary movies.....they freaked me out too much, convinced that I had allowed satan in. It would mess with my head for weeks..... it's amazing how perspective can change things..... just silly entertainment now.

> And one of my fun favorites with Bette Midler on my DVR: Hocus Pocus, 1993

Just released on Blu-Ray, I had to pick it up as soon as it released. All witches should be divas, and all divas should be witches.

Gotta love the Hammer trash.

Look for Dracula: AD1972. It's the campiest. And it's on Youtube.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Mummy Daddy from the Amazing Stories series

well you always have to have the Universal Horror movies; Then there is Godzilla and Pacific Rim, Cabin in the Woods. This is why they do October month horror movies. And absolutely Hocus Pocus.

In order:

Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein
Young Frankenstein
Ghostbusters

Traditionally:

It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown
Van Helsing (2004 Hugh Jackman version)
Hocus Pocus

I'm catching up on The Daily Show and Oddities. Since Jon Stewart made it into one of McNaughton's lame paintings, that probably qualifies as "chasing away the spirit."

Just saw "Captain Phillips" last night - a real life horror story.

Anyone remember "Scared Stiff" with Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin? I think maybe I will pull that one out and watch it.

Dark Shadows with Johnny Depp.

My son, he's 10, and I just watched the original version of The Haunting from 1964. It's based on the Shirley Jackson novel 'The Haunting of Hill House'. Highly recommend. Stars Claire Bloom, Julie Harris and Russ Tamblin. The director, Robert Wise, also directed 'West Side Story' and 'The Sound of Music'. He made 'The Haunting' in the years between these two. Wonderful, wonderful movie and so much better than the remake starring Liam Neeson and Catherine Zera-Jones.

Today and well into tomorrow morning, Turner Classic Movies is running a Christopher Lee marathon, followed by a Vincent Price marathon. I've loaded up the DVR to record so many of these, I have no idea when I will be able to watch them all!

Personal Favorites:

The Shining
Army of Darkness
Shaun of the Dead
The Exorcist
The Ring
Ghost Story
Watcher In The Woods
1408
The Others
American Werewolf in London
The Changeling (the one with George C. Scott, not the one with Angelina Jolie, though that is excellent, it isn't horror.)
Freaks
Shutter
Suspiria
The Haunting in Connecticut
The Thing (the 82 remake with Kurt Russell)
Troll Hunter (this movie is freakin' hilarious. Watch it!)

I have missed so many here, but it's a good place to start!

Erin (lover of horror and halloween since day 1!)

Just watched The Changeling the other day. I don't have a TV so of course it was on Youtube. Honestly, less that a week later, I can't remember any of it (aside from George C. Scott.)

I loved Halloween as a kid, but Toy Story of Terror (which is NOT scary) is about as far as I get into scary movies.....never was a fan.

Ron Burr

Rosemary's Baby

childs play 2!

I watch it every year, it is tradition. I was able to get a couple of old favorites this year -

I Married a Witch with Veronica Lake
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0034881/

The Time of Their Lives with Abbott and Costello
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0039037/

I am going to try to find The Innocents with Deborah Kerr. It is a version of The Turn of the Screw. There are actually several good versions of it.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0055018/

Netflix has The Innocents, but not streaming. Disc only.

Great movie! Another favorite!

My son and I have watched The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari, Nosferatu, Cat People (Simone Simon was gorgeous), The Mummy (Karloff), White Zombie (Lugosi), The Haunting, House on Haunted Hill and The Tingler (both with Vincent Price and two different kinds of acid).

I love the classics.

I'm struggling through the end of A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 5: The Dream Child (1989). I spent the entire month of October watching horror movies, averaging nearly two a day. I lost count, but I've seen something like 55 movies.

Night of the Creeps
Cabin in the Woods
The Gift

More over the weekend...

I'm on RfM instead of watching a Halloween movie, because this board is evil enough in and of itself.

But now that someone has mentioned The Gift, I might watch that. Not because it's evil/scary, but because it features the beauteous Keanu Reeves in an out-of-character role.

It really is good, and very underrated. Also, Keanu Reeves...he's my guilty pleasure actor.

I'm no good with scary movies, but I saw Nosferatu (the Murnau version, not the Herzog version) for a literature class back in college, and it was such a sinister, disturbing film. The way his teeth and fingers/fingernails grow through the course of the movie is horrifying.

Best horror flic for skeptical, rational, critical thinking people:
