2 MUSA: none of your "Halloween" movies are strictly Halloween-y or at all. Anyway, my list:

Clownhouse (I generally like films about evil clowns)
Halloween (old episodes)
Kotch (Jack Lemmon was a good director, it seems. Very good)
The Changeling
Little Girl who lives down the Lane
Pet Sematary (2nd was boring)
E.T. (I love the score, it's amazing)
The Nightmare Before Christmas (cool cartoon)
To Kill a Mockingbird

Beetle Juice
I loathe this film, annoying cast & terribly dull plot. Give me the cart. series anytime. At least there Beetlejuice is cute 'n' funny)

Dead Of Night still pretty hard to beat when it comes to pre-gore scary pics.  As well as most of the films produced by Val Lewton.

These 10 will do it for me:

The Haunting (original - the sequel's terrible)
Night of the Demon (http://fridaynightboys300.blogspot.co.uk/2009/02/night-of-demon.html)
The Devil Rides Out
The Changeling
Dead of Night
Night of the Eagle (http://fridaynightboys300.blogspot.co.uk/2014/10/night-of-eagle-sidney-hayers-1962.html)
The Innocents
The Fog (original)
Dracula (the first Hammer version)
Nosferatu (original)

I'd be sorely tempted to replace one or two of these with fringe horror movies - ones which probably belong in another genre but cross into horror, like Psycho, Quatermass and the Pit, Alien or Jaws.

I just reserved tickets for my family to watch Lon Chaney's Phantom tomorrow night; featuring the house's "Mighty Wurlitzer Pipe Organ". I can't wait.

I don't hear anything resembling Monster Mash in this 14-sec. clip.

I've seen just about every major Halloween movie made before 1970.  Plus other classics like the Halloween franchise and Friday the 13th, etc.  I love horror films.

Nice!  I agree.  I recently watched BFIs release of Das Cabient Des Dr. Caligari.  Fantastic!



Silents just have a wonderful vibe that fits the genre so well.  Not only are they mysterious, but they're obviously old and antique.  And I like my scary stories to be old and creaky.  I'm not a big fan of the modern twisted sh-t -- or the gory psychotic stuff.  Many of them are just too real and sick.  The old silent stuff is like hearing and seeing a ghost story, that is literally a hundred years old.  Even if it's not "scary" by today's standards -- it just ooooozes the atmosphere that I want in my Halloween movies.

It was great. My wife and kids were kind of dreading it. But we all really had fun. The theater organist, Bob Gale, did a great job. 20 minutes from the end the overhead broke down and he kept the audience laughing and stomping their feet while the techies fixed the issue. It was so great I am going to go back this Friday to see Unholy Three. :D

For me, it doesn't even need to be a movie. I can just look at a German person and come away from the experience terrified.
