When it gets close to Halloween time, I have to watch Halloween type movies, but I am a bit of a wimp. I have made a list of the movies I like to watch every Halloween if possible, to get in the spirit. I also made a list of things I've seen once and hated and never want to see again. Too Scary, or too stupid. Its a short list, because if its scary, I probably wont watch it. But here are my picks for other wimps like me
My Favorites:
1. The Ghost and Mr Chicken
2. Les Diaboliques- 1950's french movie, awesome and suspenseful
3. Hocus Pocus
4. The Halloween Tree
5. Clue
6. Little Shop of Horrors
7. Into The Woods
8. Ernest Scared Stupid
9. The Burbs
10. Shawn of The Dead (my one and only zombie movie)
11. The Adams Family
12. Casper
13. Ghostbutsters
14. Harry Potter- Hallowen I just have to watch Harry Potter.
15. Signs. I love it. It was suspenseful, and I love corn mazes, so it kind of relates.
16. The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown.
17. Edward Scissor Hands
18. The Nightmare Before Christmas. (originally I hated this, changed my mind)
19. Secret Window- So TWISTED!!!! I love the ending.
20. A Beautiful mind- nothing scarier than not knowing if what you think is real isn't.
21. The Goonies
22. A Smokey Mountain Christmas- it has a witch in it. it scares me a bit, it counts.
I also just watched Radioland Murders, it was a fun murder mystery, its OK. Also, I vaguely remember Beetle juice. Was it a good movie? I don't know, so its a maybe because I may have liked it as a kid, but I don't know why.
Halloween movies I hate!!
1.Elvira - I watched this recently because I remember it was popular when I was growing up in the 80's. I have no Idea why.
2. The Shinning- I am still terrified of Jack Nickleson's eye brows, and red rum.
3. Dracula Dead and Loving it- I feel dumber for having watched this
4. The skeleton Keys- I love this one, except it terrifies me, so I hate it.
5. Chronicle- I don't think this was meant to be scary, but super hero kid gone wrong is terrifying to me, and the end was dreadfully sad.
Anything scarier than the favorites list is too scary for me, but based on my two lists, I bet you could tell me some new movies I would like. I don't like zombie movies FYI. Shawn Of the Dead is the only exception, because its a comedy, and its British-y and its got Simon Pegg, and Penelope Wilton. I just love her voice. I always think "Harriet Jones, Prime Minister" and smile.
