NBR: Favorite Halloween Movie

Mother0fDragons

In the spirt of Halloween being a week away, what's your favorite Halloween movie or Halloween TV special?

spottedginger

All of them! I love Halloween time because of all the scary movies- the good, the bad, the cheesy, the ugly. The networks seem to have scaled back this year though. I have been disappointed in Halloween movie content. The only ones I don't really like are the chunky ones and the ones with the guy with pins in his head.

Hocus Pocus!!!! I'm not one for scary movies. I remember seeing it in the theater when I was a kid!!!

kristen2b

Hocus pocus!! Duh! Bette is queen!

Daphneh28

Army of Darkness and the original Evil Dead and Evil Dead 2.... Too cheesy to be really scary, but really really fun!

I know! What happened this year? I get so excited to do horror movie marathons and most of the networks aren't doing their standard 30 days of Halloween programming. Those that are have really toned down the number of movies they are showing

My favorite Halloween movie has to be The Thing. Generally I start with that and then binge on every horrior movie we own (and that's an extensive collection because I'm addicted to scary movies - and I LOVE cheesy ones!!)

Mother0fDragons

Any Beetlejuice fans?!

Brookerose978

Just watched Beetlejuice yesterday! But I love scarier movies, my husband thinks I'm crazy because I can watch them all by myself.

My fav is the original Halloween. *edit dang autocorrect

Daphneh28

How about Steven King movies? I can't watch "It"-or clowns in general, but Pet Cemetery 1 & 2 and Cujo are classic!

keiragann

Nightmare before Christmas and Hocus Pocus for friendly ones. Carrie is my all time favorite scary movie though.

Court11152325

I really love the Rob Zombie remake of Halloween. House of 1000 Corpses gave me nightmares for months. And we can't forget ZOMBIES!!! Dawn of the Dead both old and new!

Yes! I love the stephen king movies!

Nightmare before Christmas I have never seen it is it appropriate for 4 and 6 year old??

mbecca11

Hocus Pocus, hands down.
All of the Halloween movies when I do want something scary.

And okay no judging, but since I am a tad on the younger side of you mommas (think early 20's), I love love love Halloweentown. It's a Disney Channel movie, and honestly I could be in my 50's and still love that movie. I grew up watching it and will always watch it every year.

JenniferKate315

Amityville Horror with Ryan Reynolds, and the newer House on Haunted Hill!

garrettnr

Ghostbusters

breezypip

I vote for the original Halloween and Beetlejuice.

But I always have to watch Thriller!

Mother0fDragons

@breezypip yes!! I love Thriller!

Whaaaaaat? I think it could be marginally creepy for a 4 year old. Not sure about a 6 year old. I think I was 8 when I saw it in the theater and I wasn't scared. I loved it. You need to see Nightmare Before Christmas!!

breezypip

@Mother0fDragons I once took a class to learn the entire Thriller dance and was so proud of myself to get it down. I haven't done it in years, but now I want to try again!

I'm 31 and I watch Halloweentown sentimentally. I used to watch it with my little brother every year (he's 21 now).

Also, and this is an unpopular opinion, I can't stand nightmare before Christmas. I think the story is interesting, and the animation is awesome, but the singing, and the songs are just about the most annoying things I can think of! And I LOVE musicals! I just find them grating!

Whaaaaat? Those songs are classics. You're cray cray!

I'm way older than you and I love Halloweentown too!

Okay no I agree with you there too. I've never been a Nightmare Before Christmas fan either. I mean I've watched it a few times, and I just can't get myself to like it.

So glad I'm not the only Halloweentown fan though, thanks ladies! Haha.

Mother0fDragons

So "old school" but I love it!!

spottedginger

I'm half way watching cabin in the woods right now. Never saw it before.

I can't remember how that one ended...hmm. At least Jackson from Grey's Anatomy is in it!

Court11152325

Halloweentown is great I watched it with kiddos the other day did you know there is actually 3 of them?? Just found out and watched them all.

I can't believe no one has said Rocky Horror Picture Show yet!!! So cheesy, so weird... So good! I didn't really appreciate it until I was older though. I went to see it on Halloween once at a theater and it was hilarious what the audience is like! It's a giant party <:-P
