Kinda surprised nobody has mentioned Drag Me To Hell. That's a pretty creepy movie.
Halloween movies to start the season...
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.

Last night me and Rose watched Hotel Transylvania. But that was just a set-up for the theater when we go and see Hotel Transylvania 2, which just came out.
While working in the studio last night I put on SALEM'S LOT - and looking at the list today I'm surprised no one has mentioned it yet. Barlow is one of my favorite vampires...
I'll just go through the collection of DVDs and Blu-Rays and put things on in the background while I build and decorate. Next on the list is William Castle's 13 GHOSTS.

I have watched it countless times! Such a great mini-series!
Dunno how old your kids are, but can I recommend that you add Monster Squad and The Lost Boys to your list? Well, I guess they can't be that young if you've got Gods and Monsters on there....I make a new list of movies to watch each day in October.

I'm adding some of your Disney shorts, plus a few others I picked out to my list this year.
So far, I've only watched The Thing last week (one of my faves) followed up by Big Trouble in Little China (not a Halloween film by any stretch of the imagination, but a good Carpenter flick).
Night of the Living Dead 1968 is watched at least 2 or 3 times between now an Halloween. Also Trick R Treat, the Thing, Silent Hill and the remake of Friday the 13th
Well my first today is Halloween 78, I will post my movies watched everyday. Hope I don't get on everybodyss nerves
I like to go with new movies every year so this year it's:
It Follows
Shutter
the Pact
The Woman in Black 2
Annabelle.
However, when I think of my favorite Halloween movies, these few come to mind:
Halloween 1 & 2
The Others
Blair Witch
Bram Stoker's Dracula

Has anyone watched Twixt? It's on Netflix and is a Francis Ford Coppola movie. Netflix rated it very low for me but I watched it due to being a Coppola movie. I watched it 3 times and am still thinking about it several days later. It was intriguing and entertaining, creepy tone, beautiful effects. Really, all the things I need in a scary movie. The reviews are terrible, but I think the overall story is amazing, if not hard to follow because it jumps all over the place. I'm dying to discuss it with someone.
Along with many already listed, I watch Young Frankenstein every October - so funny. 
I have Robot Monster on my list, so I am willing to watch just about anything. I'll give it a watch.Has anyone watched Twixt? It's on Netflix and is a Francis Ford Coppola movie.

I love Disney Halloween cartoons! Donald seems to be the frequent star of the Halloween cartoons. I'd also add the classic Silly Symphony's The Skeleton Dance. There's also a DVD collection of animated Halloween cartoons that is pretty awesome and creepy called All Night Halloween Party.Dunno how old your kids are, but can I recommend that you add Monster Squad and The Lost Boys to your list?

Big Trouble In Little China is amazing! One of my favorite films.
Thank you for the suggestions!
I happen to have a 3D VHS of Robot Monster sitting right here, and I've been waiting for the right moment to watch it.
John Carpenter movies are awesome. I visited one of the locations of "Big Trouble In Little China" when they were filming, and briefly met Carpenter and Kurt Russell, who were both really friendly.
Right now I am really enjoying the 1931 Dracula with Bela Lugosi. I have always liked it, but over the years it has gotten better and better for me. I believe it is the first sound horror film, and being at the advent of sound it was a real technical experiment. I applaud Universal for taking the gamble, and of course the gamble paid off very well for them.

By the way, one more Disney short, Ghoul Friend! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xRCYmbvfEsDunno how old your kids are, but can I recommend that you add Monster Squad and The Lost Boys to your list? Well, I guess they can't be that young if you've got Gods and Monsters on there....

This thread goes nicely with the 'What movies do you save until the week of and day of' thread I recently resurrected!
I started with the first episode of X-Files last night and turned on my Kirklands LED picture. It is a nice way to kick off the season.

Halloween '78 always.
Finally got to see it on the big screen last year for the first time. Amazing!!!

I watch a lot of horror movies and not that many truly scare me but the vampire floating scene in the window makes my hair stand up on the back of my neck!While working in the studio last night I put on SALEM'S LOT - and looking at the list today I'm surprised no one has mentioned it yet. Barlow is one of my favorite vampires...
I'll just go through the collection of DVDs and Blu-Rays and put things on in the background while I build and decorate. Next on the list is William Castle's 13 GHOSTS.
