Well October is almost here and I know that several of us start watching scary/horror movies beginning on October 1st with a movie party that culminates on Halloween night. This year is quite special in my opinion because October 31st falls on a Friday!
So let's all use this thread to share the movies we watch as we 'creep' toward another All Hallows Eve. It might remind everyone of some hidden gems that others might be watching.
Oh and if you started early.....let the movies begin.

To begin my descent, I plan on watching Cheerleader Camp (1987) on the night of October 1st. Great cast with Betsy Russell, Lucinda Dlckey, and Lorie Griffin with some of the best b-movie make-up special effects ever.

i watched friday the 13th parts one through three. i also am watching seasons 1 & 2 of the show Supernatural...just saw an episode called bloody mary. i plan on watching the freddy movies... i purposely haven't watched those in a long time so that i can watch parts 1 though 4. and i ALWAYS watch the halloweens - parts 2, 3, 4 & 5 are my faves for this time of year.
valley, i have cheerleader camp and have only watched it once since i bought it. but i'm gonna pull it out of the bin and watch it again.
petty i think you would appreciate cheerleader camp. it's campy but totally 80s.

I know this is an 80's site, but it is the 30th anniversary of the original Halloween movie. Here is a great site with info on a special 30th anniversary party and a chance to win an invite to the party. The site also covers every other Halloween movie ever made! Enjoy! www.halloweenmovies.com
We have already started watching scary movies to get in the holiday spirit as well. First up was The Evil Dead!

I personally love to watch Halloween (orginal) and a few of the Friday the 13th movies 3-5.
I think I will add a few more to the list this year. I don't know why but fall just seems to be a perfect time to curl up with some sweats on and get in to a great horror flick.

You know I love Halloween....it is my favorite holiday...I love it even more than Christmas...I really don't think it fits my personality at all either...but I love watching older scary movies. I will watch one every night in October. I am saving ...
Night of the Creeps Curtains The Boogens
For right around the night of my party ...I have never seen any of them.
I always watch Halloween 1 and 2 on Halloween night.
I just saw Friday the 13th part 2 on regular TV just a few nights ago.
I have Cheerleader Camp on DVD, but haven't watched it yet...I'll have to...I had bought it on a VHS tape a few years ago...and got to the end and the tape was all messed up...so I never saw the end. So, I will watch it October 1st too...then I can comment on it more.

What horror movies are out there that have a fall or halloween theme to them? Of Course the Halloween movies do, but I'm curious if there are others?

There's a movie called Clownhouse? Is it about evil little clowns? I hate clowns.

Sure is. I haven't seen it in quite some time, but I do remember it was set in the 60's on Halloween and there's a boy who saw a murder or something like that. I know that I liked it. Have to watch it again.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I will have to check them out.
Isis, I too love movies set in the fall. They have such a great feeling to them.

I have about 75 horror movies, so I also try to start on October 1st and save my favorites for Halloween night. Must sees for me are Halloween 1-6, a couple Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elmstreet. Also Monster Squad, Fright Night, and embarressed to say...Hocus Pocus! I also really love Fat Albert's Halloween Special....and many many more. I have a two year old son, so me and my wife are pretty tired when he goes to bed at 8 PM or so. Realistically, if I get to watch 10 horror movies in all of October, I'll consider myself lucky. Ahhhh, I remember the days I could have movie marathons....maybe someday down the road....wouldn't change things if I could though. Any reccomendations for Halloween movies a two year old can watch Posts: 2148 | From: Nova Scotia, Canada | Registered: Aug 2007 | Site Updates: 0
