Savonarola

It's that time of year.  So far I've got:

Plan 9 From Outer Space
Dracula
Frankenstein
Bride of Frankenstein
The Mummy
House
Nosferatu
It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown
Yeti: A love story (Thanks DSB)
The Invisible Man
The Old Dark House
Mystery of the Wax Museum
House of Wax

In my Netflix Queue; is anyone else gearing up?
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Ed Anger

Masque of the Red Death
Witchfinder General

For the kids:

Great pumpkin
The Garfield Halloween special.
Stay Alive...Let the Man Drive

Sheilbh

#2
Frankenstein
Nosferatu (both versions)
Horror of Dracula and Dracula Prince of Darkness
Dead of Night
Peeping Tom
The Exorcist
Don't Look Now
Rosemary's Baby
Halloween
Blood on Satan's Claw
Witchfinder General
The Wicker Man

I will also force this on my flatmates. I've made them watch Peeping Tom and Witchfinder General so far :w00t:

Edit: And I might rewatch Carrie, but I saw it recently at Somerset House in a double bill with Mean Girls. I think there was an Australian 'prom horror' after that but I didn't stay. Also didn't know that was a genre. May look that film up and get it involved too.

Edit: Also inclined to vote 70s in Queequeg's poll just on the perfection of that decade's American horror films :mmm:

Now that's a theater that knows how to bill films.

None. When it comes to Halloween, I'm Ebenezer Scrooge.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

Duque de Bragança

Recently got Carpenter's Prince of Darkness in blu-ray so that's the first on the list.
I have not watched in in 15 years or so...
I can also rewatch Halloween too. ;)

If The Haunting is available, watch that.  Yeah, its black-and-white, but that just makes it even spookier.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane—Marcus Aurelius

In tonight's featured presentation The Ghost of Halloween Past will be played by Jamie Lee Curtis.

Are you going to watch the 2007 remake for the ghost of Halloween "present"?

I plan to start tonight with Walking Dead, season 1, episode 1. Maybe I'll catch up by the end of this season. :unsure:
Grand Duke of Lurkdom

Nothing set in stone.  I might see if I can work in some unseen James Whale, Ken Russel, and Dario Argento.  And I do need to see The Haunting, so thanks grumbles for reminding me.

Hell yeah.  One of Carpenter's finest.

"Actual" opinion?

I love it, in context of history of horror films it is good film, I will be one of those guys that says the Spanish language version is more fun.
