The Halloween Recommendation Topic

Sean P Kelly · 10-26-2009, 12:19 PM

Looking for a Movie to See this Halloween? Here my recommendations of films both on theatres and video.

Now in Theatres
Zombieland - Even though I really wanted to see it, I purposely skipped this film opening weekend to see it in theatres on Halloween. From what I hear, it will be worth the wait.

Paranormal Activity - You can discuss this film in the topic I just created, however I do have to say that this was one of the most terrifying films I have seen in ages (of course, that depends on what you find terrifying).

You can also see if there's a midnight screening of The Rocky Horror Picture Show in your town.

Skip: Saw VI, The Vampire's Apprentice

On DVD
Halloween - I mean John Carpenter's original here. This has been compulsory Halloween night viewing for me for a few years now and I can't wait to see it again.

Trick 'r Treat - This is a film that should have been released in theatres (and I was actually lucky to see a festival screening of it in August). This is a fun horror anthology filled with dark humour that is more original than most horror films released these days.

Drag Me to Hell - The closest thing Sam Raimi has gotten to making a forth Evil Dead film. I'm still deciding whether the the unrated version is better than the theatrical.

Well, those are my recommendations. Feel free to add your own.

Also the closest that Sam Raimi has gotten to echoing the sentiment of everybody forced to watch Spider-Man 3.

It's funny how Saw, a Horror movie series that was actually deep and had a good premise, apparantly sucks.

^ What about playing the Spider-Man 3 Game? I say the same joke can be applied.

^ It started out okay, but suffers from Horror Movie Sequel Syndrome and has become a horrible cluster**** of torture porn and convoluted plot.

But I still watch it.

I'm not a big horror fan... but I do have some favorites:

A Tale of Two Sisters
Audition
The Shining
and of course, The Exorcist.
