Spooky spooky!

[krickets]

Hey you guys! Tell me your favorite spooky/Halloween/fall movies & TV episodes. Old black and white movies are a bonus! Anything on Netflix is a bonus! Anything spooky but also funny is a bonus!


I have the TV to myself in the evenings for the next (almost) three weeks while my parents are in Africa and I am so excited for fall/October that it's not funny. I need a primer! And don't hesitate to suggest things you know/suspect I've already seen. I probably forgot about it!

A shortlist:

- Arsenic and Old Lace
- Psycho
- Rear Window
- Halloweentown
- The Witches

ETA: I FORGOT THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE OF ALL: THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS. The only movie appropriate at any point in time between October and January.

Ugh this is such a good list. I'm excited about the first 3 the most. Have never seen any of them. I only ever saw the remake of Psycho!

I don't think you're ready for this...

Oops, LJ posted too soon and I just look like a jerk.

My fave Halloween movies, Trick'r'treat, practical magic, hocus pocus, ginger snaps, Donnie darko, insidious, beetle juice, corpse bride, flatliners, young Frankenstein, idle hands, Addams family, Addams family values, may

For cartoon tv, "Magic School Bus in the Haunted House", "A Pinky and the Brain Halloween", Recess did 3 Halloween episodes I liked I have no idea what they were called, and Sanjay and Craig's "Blackout".

Live action tv, Pushing Daisies: "Girth", Millennium's "The Curse of Frank Black", It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia's "Who Got Dee Pregnant?", bobs burgers 2 Halloween episodes were good because they are awesome.

I should have KNOWN you'd be full of suggestions. Guess what, this weekend The Addams Family is going to be on TV (both of them!) I've got the DVR set and I'm so excited!!

Pushing Daisies! How could I forget that episode!

I have never watched Bob's Burgers, but have been told that's some kind of crime against humanity. Maybe I should give it a shot for the Halloween specials. I hope it's on netflix!

Hocus Pocus, Halloween (or one in the series) and Practical Magic are must watches for me around this time of year. I also tend to work in something from the Resident Evil franchise.

The only funny "scary" movies I can think of are: the Scream series, Zombieland and Shaun of the Dead. I know there are more -- lots more -- but I'm blanking on them at the moment.

[krickets]

I am thinking I might have to re-watch my all-time favorite, Clue, and then of course Young Frankenstein. Those are probably two that you're trying to think of in terms of Funny/Scary. They're classics.

I kind of forgot about Zombieland! (If you think it's something you'd like, I also really really liked Warm Bodies too. The book and the movie!)

Thank you!

Well, Hocus Pocus is the best of course! :)

Of course!

I came in to say exactly this ♥

The Shining and Scream?

[crickets.livejournal.com]

You know I haven't watched the original Scream in forever. I own Scream 4 (I love that franchise more than should logically be allowed.) I really should go back and watch these!

I actually read the Shining for the first time this year. Watching the movie would be interesting after the fact. (Been a long time for that one too!)

[daybreak777.livejournal.com]

King wrote a sequel to the Shining last year. I enjoyed it immensely. I'd be curious what you'd think!

[mollivanders.livejournal.com]

Practical Magic!

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Checked this out the day you recommended it. Will definitely be watching it this weekend!

[girlwhowaited.livejournal.com]

Hocus Pocus, the disney Halloween Town movies are good, Charlie Brown The Great Pumpkin :)

[crickets.livejournal.com]

I don't actually think I've seen the Halloweentown movies. Only the previews! I'll have to see if it's available anywhere! Thank you!

Fright Night (the original) is one of my favourites. And just for horror/comedy value, though it's more alien-meets-desert-dweelers, I adore Tremors!

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Oh I have never seen Fright Night. Tremors is a classic, haha. But I'm not sure I can watch it with a straight face!
