What movies are you planning to watch in October/on Halloween?

Hellbilly · 09-14-2007, 07:46 PM

Got that Fright Flick list ready to share? Any scary movie recommendations?

Myself gonna reserve October for horror (and old school sci-fi) only. I will also try to squeeze in a few vintage chillers paired as double features.

My favorite month of the year - this October is going to be awesome!

_pi_ · 09-14-2007, 08:21 PM

Oh, I am definitely going to watch the entire Friday the 13th series (or at least the Paramount films, think I can do without the New Line segments).

I'm ashamed to say it, but I've only seen the first two films and then Jason Goes to Hell, Jason X and Freddy vs. Jason. I've got a copy of the big box set on one of my wishlists, so now I've just got to make an order!

Apart from that, I have no clue. I'm in the mood for buying, though, so I'll check out what you guys are recommending. Plus, didn't I hear someone say that October was going to be a big review-month for the Horrordvds critcis?

Workshed · 09-14-2007, 08:32 PM

Well, if Netflix gets my shit together, hopefully:

From Beyond
The Burning
Death Proof
Planet Terror
Bug
Severance
28 Weeks Later
Flight of the Living Dead
Black Sheep
Invasion of the Body Snatchers ('78)
Jacob's Latter
The Serpent and the Rainbow
Night of the Comet
Return of the Living Dead 2
Dead & Buried
Lair of the White Worm
The Brood
Dead and Breakfast
Scars of Dracula
Taste the Blood of Dracula
Lucio Fulci: Don't Torture a Duckling
Black Christmas (2006)
The Blob ('88)
Pumpkinhead
Intruder
Fido

I'll also be hitting up my local Blockbusted and Hollywood Video

to stay as close to this list as possible.

edit: thanks for starting this thread, Hellbilly. Last year's was a scream to read and participate in.

I am working on my yearly October horror-a-thon list right now, but as usual, it is taking me forever to make my choices. The only ones for sure are Halloween (duh), The Uninvited (thank you Turner Classic Movies), House of 1000 Corpses, Night of the Demons, and Scarecrows (if I can keep my hands off the dvd until then). There's SO many great horror dvds coming out it is hard to pare those choices down.

Here's hoping we all get to see Trick 'r Treat in theaters in October too.

Grim · 09-14-2007, 08:51 PM

Basically any Halloween, except H20 and Ressurrection, any movie slasher that takes place at a summer camp, oh and the Dead films. I've grown accustomed to certain flicks during certain seasons, and those seem to work best for me.

baggio · 09-14-2007, 08:52 PM

Here's some I may watch:

Halloween (original) I cant' believe I just had to clarify that. Unbeilvable.

Anyway...

Night of the Demons
Aliens
Nightmare on Elm Street
Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein
Return of the Living Dead
Fright Night
Sleepy Hollow
Night of the Living Dead
Suspiria
Simpsons - Treehouse specials

Paff · 09-14-2007, 08:54 PM

[shameless plug]I'll be watching The Victim at the San Diego Asian Film Festival on October 13[/shameless plug]

_pi_ · 09-14-2007, 08:55 PM

Adding some films to my list:

Bug - I literally cannot wait to see this film! I know so little about it and yet it sound soooo gooood!
Alligator
Death Proof
Demons (the rerelease)
Lizard in a Woman's Skin (Remastered)

Those will all be first-time views, but I'm also probably going to pick up Cujo: 25th Anniversary. Then I've recently bought Inland Empire and the Black Christmas remake, so I'll probably watch them too.

And I'll probably watch some of them before October ... I'm too anxious to start!

09-14-2007, 09:06 PM

These are always some of my favorite threads to read. It's cool hearing everyone's different Halloween viewings! This year I'm going to try my best to watch as many older films that I've never seen before, but of course I'll make time for some staples of modern horror as well....Suspiria is the 1st that comes to mind. I ALWAYS watch that in October...

Anthropophagus · 09-14-2007, 09:08 PM

Hopefully,
From Beyond
The Burning
Scarecrows
Alligator
Night Of The Demons 2
Cujo
Misery
Poltergeist
Return Of The Living Dead
House On Haunted Hill(1958)
John Carpenter's The Thing

09-14-2007, 10:03 PM

What the hell, I think I'll watch the Halloween series this year. It's been ages since I've seen most of them--in fact, I think the last time I saw 4 was in the theater! Maybe now that I'm not 8 anymore I can truly appreciate it.

DrHerbertWest · 09-14-2007, 10:12 PM

I don't create lists but I stick to horror movies, at least at home. If we go to the theater in October, I can make no guarantees. Generally I'll watch a series (Jason, Freddy, Leatherface, etc.) or pick out some of my genre favorites.

horrorlover · 09-14-2007, 11:33 PM

Doesn't look like anyone mentioned Texas Chainsaw Massacre yet! The original that is. I'll be watching it, along with Suspiria.

maybrick · 09-14-2007, 11:36 PM

Believe it or not, I haven't even thought about it!

Probably the usual.

The thing is, I watch horror movies the year round so I don't forsee me doing anything out of the ordinary for the holiday. Maybe I should step outside the box and watch nothing but romance comedies?

satans-sadists · 09-15-2007, 12:01 AM

These are givens:

Halloween III: Season of the Witch
Demons
Dark Night of the Scarecrow
The Manitou
The Dunwich Horror
All the Colors of the Dark

I will also be watching some Vincent Price movies, Hammer Horror, and Universal Monsters. Not sure which yet.
