Here are my top 10 movies for Halloween…the “best ever” claim might be pushing it, but what can I say…I’m biased! So here’s a mix of family friendly and not-so-family friendly fiendishly fantastic films.
1) The Frighteners (John Astin as a ghost and Michael J Fox as a medium…creepy hilarity insues.)
2) Dead Alive (rat monkeys. zombie babies. kung fu fighting priests. custard. How could you go wrong? Pure genius by Peter Jackson.)
3) Evil Dead II: Dead By Dawn (Bruce Campbell? Yes please!)
4) Beetlejuice (the world’s leading bio-exorcist)
5) Nightmare on Elm Street (the original, of course.)
6) 28 Days Later (Could the scene in the church be any creepier? It makes me squirm every time I see it.)
7) Hocus Pocus (It’s worth it for the Garry & Penny Marshall cameos.)
8) The Addams Family (Cara Mia!)
9) Any and All George Romero zombie films…he is the king of the living dead.
10) Arsenic & Old Lace (more of a dark comedy but it most certainly has a Halloween-y vibe to it…nothing like a couple of well meaning homicidal aunts!)
+1 TO GROW ON:
11) The Shining (quit possibly the all time creepiest…to this day I cannot watch it alone)
Do you have a list that you’re just dying to share? Feel free to post your list in the comments. I’d love to read them!
