    What Monster Films Do You Watch At Halloween?

    Ha, first post!
    So, what monster/horror films do you like to watch for the Halloween season? I'm a classics fan personally, so I'll probably do a marathon Universal/Hammer selection again this year, with some zombie horror thrown into the mix for good measure. I just noticed that "Return of the Living Dead" is out on DVD this month, so I need to score a copy of that one for sure.

    I try to always watch Army of Darkness if someone airs it. I'm hoping that new channel on DirecTv called Chiller runs a good marathon.

      (cue scary halloween sound effects CD here)

      I'm currently planning a 31 day Halloween Film-Fest. I have quite a list of DVDs to choose from, and I haven't decided on which movies to watch on which days. Or is that "witch" days? Haha! You know, sometimes I "amuse" even myself. Some of the movies create more laughs than scares, but oh well...it's all in fun.

      Ants
      Tarantulas: The Deadly Cargo
      Stephen King's Rose Red
      Stephen King's It
      The Thing
      The Haunting of Hill House
      The House On Haunted Hill
      The Haunting
      The Bat
      Bram Stoker's Dracula
      The Creature From The Black Lagoon
      Revenge Of The Creature
      The Creature Walks Among Us
      The Mummy (1932)
      The Mummy's Hand
      The Mummy's Tomb
      The Mummy's Ghost
      The Mummy's Curse
      The Mummy (modern version)
      The Mummy Returns
      Poltergeist
      Night Of The Living Dead
      Dawn Of The Dead
      Evil Dead
      Evil Dead 2
      Army Of Darkness
      The Last Man On Earth
      The Fly (1986)
      The Fly 2 (1989)
      Lost Voyage
      The Fog (original version)
      Van Helsing
      Resident Evil
      Willard (new version)
      Halloween
      Sleepy Hollow
      Creepshow
      Creepshow 2
      Friday The 13th
      Friday The 13th Part 2
      Underworld
      The Blair Thumb
      Frankenthumb
      Buffy The Vampire Slayer

      I still need some classic Universal Studios horror films like "Dracula", "Frankenstein", and "The Wolf Man", and I'd also like to get "The People Under The Stairs", "Day Of The Dead" and "Halloween II" for my collection, not to mention a cornucopia of other horror films!

        The Universal Legacy sets are a great way to pick up all of the classic Universal monsters fairly reasonably. I got all of them back when they came out a few years ago. Some of the sequels are kinda lackluster, but the sets are worth getting since they include several fairly obscure titles.

          This is pretty much what's on my list. I'm sucker for the classics and both my girlfriend and I love zombie movies.

            Karloff Frankensteins and some assorted z-movies like The Brainiac or Naschy Wolfman movies.

              I picked up a copy of The Brainiac a few years ago in Wal-Mart's bargain DVD bin. It was on a combo disc with two other low-grade films, one of which was a Naschy film. I never really got into Spanish horror films much. I remember that a TV station out of Nashville used to run alot of Mexican horror films on Saturday mornings/afternoons, which is where I saw The Brainiac in the first place. Gotta love that goofy mask they created for him

                  Anything Werewolf related from Chaney's Werewolf to the Howling series....
                  "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn"

                  In the Southeast Pacific, lies the sunken city of R'Leyh. There lies C'thulhu waits to return to our world with the other Great Old Ones. A hideous creature of enormous size and alien power, it waits for it's time to return patiently. For it has all the time in the world while it waits for the stars.

                      I almost called it "Count Blah's Castle of Terror" but thought it too wordy, I always use monster movie as a catch all, so there you go.

                      As for Halloween, i still enjoy the same stuff Channel 2 used to play when I was kid:

                      War of the Gargantuas
                      Frankenstein Conquered the World
                      Teenage Frankenstein
                      Evil of Frankenstein
                      Mad Monster Party

                      In fact, I think this Halloween I'll buy MMP for my kids.
