Time to torture the grandkids and MAKE them watch the OLD Halloween movies.........  They want to watch Hocus Pocus, but they have to watch some Svengoolie movies first......

What are your suggested Halloween movies??

[Sammy 735]

Not movie suggestions but something else.. You can tag your movies as "Halloween" and then set up a channel with Virtual TV Plugin for continuous, randomly selected movies to "plug in" your kids..

Why is this in the beta testing forum?

Yes, the original "Invisible Man" is a good choice as is the originals of:

Frankenstein 
Werewolf of London
The Wolf Man (1941)
Dracula
King Kong
Them
13 Ghosts
The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms
The Blob
Invasion of the Body Snatchers
The Thing
The Fly
And many other early horror movies.

And for cheezie movies that are suitable for  this season:

Plan 9 From Outer Space
Killer Klowns from Outer Space
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes
Abbot and Costello meet (add random monster here)
Beetlejuice
Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Of course there are many more modern movies but, mostly, the movie industry has forgotten how to tell a story that is fun and scary.

A few more movies that  fit this season are:

The Birds
Carnival of Souls
Cat People
Children of the Corn
Creature from the Black Lagoon
Village of the Damned
The Day the Earth Stood Still
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1932)
Firestarter
Westworld
Gojira (also known as Godzilla but they are VERY different movies see the original without Raymond Burr.)
Gremlins
The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane (This is NOT for young children)
The Innocents
Invaders from Mars
It (The 1990 miniseries)
Jaws (again not for the real young)
Night of the Living Dead
Mothra
The Mummy (1932)
Pet Sematary
Piranha
Poltergeist
Willard

OK. I got a bit carried away BUT I am quite sure I left out many deserving movies. But what I listed should fill all kids of any age with thrills and  chills through the Halloween season.
