Thread: Horror movies for halloween

Tweet

Hi,

Every year we get together with friends and watch a few scary movies on all hallows eve.
It's always a tough choice to decide what to watch as we have seen a load of the good stuff, and generally, if we haven't already seen it, it probably isn't very good!

I have been using various sites (this UK site was pretty good - http://lovehorror.co.uk/top-10-horror-movies)

Just wanted to get any suggestions from you guys for any hidden gems that we could see!
Any suggestions considered!

We usually do a theme night such as:

Classic Monster Movies

70's bloodbaths

80's Movie Night: Gremlins, Goonies, Child's play, Nightmare on Elm street, Halloween, Friday the 13th

This year's new releases

Vampires

Zombies

Ghosts

Serial Killers

Werewolves etc.

I have an 11yr old daughter, and we have to watch Nightmare before christmas.

Excellent, do you mean at Halloween, or do you just regularly run these theme nights for fun?

So, what would be your top picks for each genre. I'm thinking of buying Laid to Rest this year as it's supposed to be a good slasher and kind of dipped under the radar a bit.
I do love the old stuff though. Would love to find a good onld 80's horror movie that I haven't seen...

Hidden Gems:

Viy: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0062453/

Cemetery Man: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109592/

Dead and Buried: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082242/

Dead Alive: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103873/

The Blood on Satan's Claw: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066849/

Try out Trick R Treat..2008 We enjoyed it thoroughly...

I like Horror movies because they have entertainment...

I myself enjoy the old Universal Monster classics on Halloween,because thats what was shown on TV when I was a kid. Halloween is all about keeping your childhood alive. So it would be watching the movies you did when you were a kid. That is how you stay young in mind and spirit.

I like the theme idea.
Maybe add a theme of True Life Horror:
Like "Helter Skelter"
or those films where they go into old sanitariums and investigate hauntings.

We have a thread going on what we are watching. Alot of movies are being names in there so take a peak.
