Halloween movies

I'm a day late, but you simply must check out the movie "The Raven" starring John Cusack as Edgar Allen Poe.

I have a handful of standby flicks for Halloween night when the kids aren't coming around (we don't get trick or treaters because they don't come up our hill, partly because most people on the way up don't give out candy).

- Rocky Horror Picture Show
- Kiss Meets The Phantom (actually, Kiss In The Attack Of The Phantom from the Kissology set)
- Frankenstein
- Young Frankenstein
- The Torture Never Stops (Frank Zappa's 1981 Halloween concert)
- Night Of The Living Dead

I should add Friday The 13th (the original one) to the mix, and maybe 28 Days Later.

My movie collection includes a bunch of scary movies but I only watch them during the month of October ever year.
I usually start off the month with the tame stuff like Ernest: Scared Stupid, Disney's Haunted Mansion, and Army of Darkness.
Then I wade into the more scary films like 13 Ghosts, The Others and so on.
Eventually I get around to watching The Grudge, The Ring and the movies made by Rob Zombie.

the movies made by Rob Zombie.

Forgot those on my last post. The menu on House Of 1,000 Corpses is hysterical.

Going to recommend a couple foreign flicks - there's [REC] and [REC]2. The first was remade domestically as Quarantine starring Jennifer Carpenter. Very well done, very suspenseful. The subtitles or dubbing don't really take away from it, although if you can do it with the subtitles, I find that a little better because you hear the actual actors' emotions. Basically an evil presence takes over an apartment building and some gov't agency locks everyone in the building inside - basically dooming them. Parts of the US version were shot-for-shot the same, including the ending, which stays with you.

Then there's Let The Right One In, remade here as Let Me In. Again, I find the foreign version a bit superior, but it's closer this time. Chloe Grace Moretz does an excellent job in the US version. It's about a young boy in an apartment building and the girl vampire who moves in next door. Fairly standard vampire lore, but there are some powerfully done scenes, especially one where the boy challenges her to enter without being invited in.
