Halloween Discussion Forums, Costumes, Horror!

I watched a little gem of a movie last night on Showtime called "HP Lovecraft's Necronomicon: Book of the Dead" It was magnificent. Just the right amount of over the top special effects and gore, just the right amount of over-acting, just what I wanted out of a Halloween-prep movie. I highly suggest you check it out. I am in love with it and I require it on DVD instantly.

If you want some horror titles of some stuff thats a little under the radar, I just bought and am reading fangorias "101 best horror movies you've never seen". good read and i am planning to see a least a dozen of the films in it this october.

"Halloween" of course probably reminds me most of Halloween.

But as far as favorite overall horror movie... that would be too hard to narrow to just one. So I guess a top 5 would be in order here (actually in no particular order:

1) Friday the 13th pt. 3

My parents took me to the theater, for some strange reason, to see this in 3D. Glasses and everything. I'm 31 now, so that had to put me at 8 or 9.


2) The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original)

Only movie on this list that I don't own on DVD. Just as I was prepared to buy the "collector's edition" last year, I heard about the "ultimate edition", or whatever it's called, due out this month. Sure enough it was released a couple weeks ago. I'm picking it up this weekend.


3) Halloween

What more can I say?


4) Night of the Living Dead

Again, little to say. The film that basicly started horror.


5) The Shining

Narrowly edges out some others, mainly because of ol Jack. I loved his performance. It basicly made the movie what it became, since the film version was much different that King's original novel.

The Exorcist

Halloween 2

F13th pt 1
