I took a very quick and not at all comprehensive look at the threads and didn't see this. So; what movies do you guys start the Halloween season off with? For us it is the first Nightmare on Elm Street movie, The first and second Aliens movies, Event Horizon ( the perfect blend of sci-fy and horror), A Nightmare Before Christmas, The Corpse Bride, Sweeney Todd, The Reanimator and its sequel, Bubba-HoTep ( you must see this, especially if you enjoyed any of the Evil Dead movies), the Evil Dead movies, The Hellraiser movies-specifically the first three, Cannibal Holocaust, and Brain Dead. And of course the first Halloween movie. Sometimes the Hills Have Eyes, and any of the recent Rob Zombie flicks.

We watched Beetlejuice yesterday, my wife told me there was going to be a sequel. I hope it's good! I'm thinking of getting some "other holiday inspired" horror movies to marathon. The one's I'm interested in but haven't seen are: Thankskilling-evil turkey possesed by a killers soul or something like that, Jack Frost-killer snowman. I've seen the first Leprechaun and will add it to the line up. I need to find a campy Easter themed scary movie, something like "wisecracking serial killer's soul takes over animatronic easter bunny kills victim in eastery ways". On a side note I noticed that Zombeavers is on Netflix--yes kids zombie beavers! I may have to check it out.

My wife and i are looking for 3 year old appropriate Halloween cartoons and movies for our daughter. We have Hocus Pocus, and a Winnie the Pooh one. Any other suggestions?

Today was not even close to being a good day, but it ended well. I stopped to get gas on the way home from work, car wouldn't start. No money for a tow, struggling to find someone to give me a ride home and coming up way short. My wife's car has a horrible transmission leak, and the car seat for our daughter is in my car anyway. I'm amazed at how many people who don't understand what a car with blinking hazard lights means coupled with a arm waving them around. I nearly ran all the charge out of the battery when FINALLY it cranks and I made it home. I get home and find that my wife has made pumpkin cupcakes with cinnamon cream cheese frosting and is watching Sleepaway Camp. So I end a very bad day in a string of bad days eating awesome cupcakes and watching a scary movie with my wife. Not too shabby....
