Night Shyamalan) are pretty awesome picks for The Others-style suspense, while the Poltergeist flicks (various directors, but the first one had Spielberg involved in the writing process) deliver some pretty good scary-ghost special effects. And then for slash-and-gore monster style you can't beat the Alien franchise. I love me some concentrated acid for blood...<br />-The Neglected HusbandAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8634535998124931936.post-82616933055717910102013-10-31T15:55:10.674-04:002013-10-31T15:55:10.674-04:00If you've got those three, I think you're ...If you've got those three, I think you're pretty well-read (well-viewed?) in the Halloween movie department!Christiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18107748184124761940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8634535998124931936.post-63950812205056035082013-10-31T15:53:36.004-04:002013-10-31T15:53:36.004-04:00Both of those were on my brainstorming list, too! ...Both of those were on my brainstorming list, too! If it were ten, or even fifteen favorites, we'd be set (I originally wrote down 18 different movies!). Tim Burton has a special kind of charm and he really "gets" the not-so-spooky spooky side of Halloween. But Sleepy Hollow is sca-ry!<br /><br />Maybe I'm conflating Buffy the Vampire Slayer with Charmed. I remember specific moments of wanting to gag while watching the latter--dating your guardian angel . . . <i>really</i>? It just annoyed me, I could never get into it! I think I stuck longer with Angel, but I got tired of the endless winding plots that never got anywhere or didn't live up to my expectations . . . weird father-son-girlfriend love triangle going on there . . . Cordelia as the queen of another demon dimension . . . it was just silly! :p <br /><br />I'll check out that musical episode of BtVS, though.

My two favorites for Halloween are actually The Nightmare Before Christmas and Coraline (not Halloween in particular, but definitely spooky as only Neil Gaiman does it).Mollyhttp://mollymakesdo.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8634535998124931936.post-16472914753956096892013-10-31T00:45:31.247-04:002013-10-31T00:45:31.247-04:00I made my mom go to the movie theater with me to s...I made my mom go to the movie theater with me to see Sweeney Todd. She hated it (as I thought she would, but of course, I didn't mention that fact when I asked her to go with me) and I loved it (also no surprise). I also love Hocus Pocus and enjoyed The Others, but haven't seen another thing on your list or runners up!Mandi Richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14641577291206420549noreply@blogger.com
