It isn't like a tradition or anything, but I find myself tending to watch a few of my favorite scary films on Halloween. As I was thinking about what to watch tonight, I figured I'd see what you throw in?

Although not exactly scary, I will often watch The Nightmare Before Christmas. Tonight I think I will be watching Sweeney Todd. Others would include Sleepy Hollow, Exorcist, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Halloween (`78), The Shining, etc...

I'd include Bram Stoker's Dracula, The Others and the old early 80's version of The Fog. If you're up for silents, the 1925 Phantom of the Opera and Nosferatu are immortal. Slightly more recent, Cloverfields and 1408. I also liked the Mothman Prophecies and Signs

The previous weeks' recap of my 401K. Nothing scarier to me!;)

We watched Poltergeist earlier in the week since I got it on BD. Pretty good upgrade over the SD DVD.

Yeah, the portfolio is bad, but since I am not retiring, I don't really care if it is down as long as it is up when I do retire.

Hee, hee! Good one!

As for the movies, I'm not into scary stuff. I did watch an episode or two of Supernatural. That show is creepy enough for me. The one with Bloody Mary freaked me out. I wouldn't even look in a mirror that night. :o Although, that did temporarily improve my self image. :)

We watched 30 Days of Nights and The Reaping this year.

Some of my favorites are the first Jeeper Creepers, Children of the Corn, 28 Days Later and Dawn of the Dead (2004).

I for some reason have always liked scary movies. One of my favs is the original Nightmare On Elm Street. It has a very creepy feel to it. Too bad it has been run into the ground over and over again. The follow-ups seem to be more of a comedy than anything else. :eek::eek:

Cheers,

Phil

PS John, this is a great idea. Thanks for starting such a thread! ;);)

Shawn of the Dead.

Good one! Nothing like a little comic relief with your gore. We also watched Army of Darkness (my son hadn't seen it) and Evil Dead 2 a few weeks ago :)
