Post What will you be watching on Halloween?

Traditionally, I pour myself a 2 pint vodka and tonic (in a large jug, then dispense thru out the evening), light my homemade jack-o-lantern, and whilst munching a fist full of Brannigans beer nuts, watch at least 3 horror movies.

This year I thought I'd view the following:

Night Of the Demon (love that furry demon)
Island of Terror (still scared of the silicates)
Legend Of The Hell House

All of which are not on DVD I'm afraid. Being taped from TV over the last decade.

Still, a good selection n'est pas?

Cool

We traditionally get in a crate of Bud,some doritos with Salsa dip and carve out a pumkin to display in the window.

This year we will settle down to The Blair Witch Project and The Thing.

I don't usually do anything special but I think this year I will.... possibly Blair Witch and Halloween.

I've just my hands on Suspiria Limited Edition but I don't think I can wait to watch that..... I'm gonna do it later

Silverback,

Rent/buy the R2 Dvd of "Ring" and "Ring 2", then sit back and watch after midnight, with no lights on!

Black Christmas is one of my faves. That shot of the eye through the crack in the door gives me the creeps every time.

I'll be kicking back with

The Beyond
Anthropophagous The Beast (just on vid )
and something else that I haven't decided yet.

Nearest I've been for ages to being scared by a film was watching 'Event Horizon'. - on my own in the house - lights off - soundtrack UP. Definitely made me jump a couple of times

I have arranged a night in with my mates. First of all we will buy 2 pumpkins, 'cos we are gonna make a pigs ar$e of the first one. We have halloween 1 and 2 to watch together with a Nightmare on Elm Street 1. If time Friday the 13th Part 1 (VHS unfortunately).

We have lots of goodies for the breaks and I have a couple of CD's. The Halloween soundtrack and Elm street soundtrack. I have downloaded lots of short stories from the net (horror/Ghost) and Torches for pitch black effect/strange lighting effects while reading the stories (we is gonna look uglier than ever) using the torches. My neighbour is going to beat the hell out of the windows at a certain time of the night. (My mates don't know that bit yet)

Can't wait.

Regards
