TV/Movies you like to watch at Halloween...

[AGXStarseed]

For those of us who don't go anywhere on Halloween but still want to do/watch something with a more scary/spooky theme, what kind of TV shows and/or movies do you like to watch?

For me, I like to watch a marathon of the Simpsons' "Treehouse of Horror" episodes (although I like the earlier episodes the best).
Alternatively, I like to watch a few select horror films that I'm comfortable with watching - including those with a sci-fi theme such as Alien or Attack the Block.

What about you guys?

I haven't done it this year, but usually I try to watch at least 1 horror movie or horror/halloween themed tv episode every day for all of October. What I watch depends on what I can get to avoid watching the same things every year but the movie Trick 'r' Treat is a must see and the perfect film watch every halloween night.

I'm going to 2 Halloween Parties this month, next Thursday afternoon and then just over a week later on Saturday the 29th at a local Pub.

Last year I started the "tradition" of watching A Nightmare Before Christmas because I felt like I wasn't doing enough for Halloween. My husband doesn't like the movie much, but we have to do it again this year in order for it to be a tradition I haaaaate horror movies, so none of that.

Halloween, The Fog, The Exorcist, Freddy Krueger movies

John carpenters Thing, the Shining, saw the Babadook last year and I definitely am going to rewatch that, other than that I've had a few DVDs of an older animal planet show called lost tapes that I typically watch for laughs more that shock, like one of those older movies that's so bad it's good, otherwise I typically look elsewhere for some new movies to go crazy over

I'm planning on watching Creepshow this Halloween - especially as a new TV series based on the original 1980's film is now being released this year.

Here's the original film's trailer:

I watch scariest places in America.

I don't usually watch TV or movies, but I like listening to music on YouTube that's spooky or appropriate for Halloween.

The Simpsons Halloween episodes from the 90s.

Stayed at the Menger Hotel in San Antonio ,l believe it's a feature on the scariest places in America.

l had goosebumps on my neck when walking down the corridors. Then we went to the bookstore, a whole shelf devoted to this creepy place. The usual- sucides, pissed off lovers, political figures.

l remember seeing the roach story. It was excellent, that guy is still trying to kill all those cockroaches. Very fitting after living in Hawaii.

Last one, for all you fans of old school Disney Shorts, Looney Tunes, Casper, etc.

 

[AGXStarseed]

Well, since we're coming back to that time of year again, I might as well add some more movies to the list.

This year I'm going to give two Werewolf movies - Stephen King's Silver Bullet and Dog Soldiers - a viewing after hearing decent stuff about them.

My family (now really just me and my mom) watches Nightmare Before Christmas twice a year: Halloween and Christmas.
