I was hoping to come up with a top ten movie list today, but as you can imagine, it is really hard finalizing the best top ten movies you have ever seen! I was able to narrow it down to two lists.
Enjoy!!
Top Ten Fun Halloween Movies:
10.Earnest Scared Stupid. A great cheesy kids movie. Who wouldn't want to watch Earnest being attacked by a crazy troll? And this is one scary lookin' troll.
9. The Addam's Family. So many great actors in this film. The Sequel isn't too shabby either.
8. Sleepy Hollow. One of Johnny Depp's best roles. Love the costumes and the macabre feeling.
7. Shadow of the Vampire. Such a great film. So funny and clever. William Dafoe is amazing in this role.
6. Shaun of the Dead. Rent this tonight if you have not seen this yet.
5. Beetlejuice. I will never get sick of watching this movie.
4. Fido. Bill Connolly is brillant. Another must see.
3. Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The return of Paul Reubens . . . sort of.
2. Army of Darkness. I don't know why but this is my favorite movie out of the Evil Dead series. Might have something to do with the line, "This is my boomstick!"
1. Elvira. Who doesn't love the Mistress of the Dark?
Top Ten Creepy Movies to Watch in October:
10. Arachnophobia. If you have a serious problem with spiders don't watch this. But do watch this if you like John Goodman.
9. Devil's Backbone. Best ghost story ever.
8. Lost Boys. Santa Cruz hasn't changed much. ;)
7. Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I actually really enjoy Rob Zombie's version minus Jessica Biel.
6. 28 Days Later. I don't think there is anything scarier than a post-apocalyptic world and the sense of loneliness that comes along with it.
5. Suspira. We've already mentioned this movie. My favorite part has got to be the soundtrack by Ohgre.
4. Watcher in the Woods. This is a disney movie that used to scare the shit out of me as a kid. It still creeps me out.
3. Blair Witch Project. I was so excited when this movie came out.
2. The Shining. This was one of my favorite movies when I was kid. Is that wrong?
1. The Thing. John Carpenter's best movie. MUST MUST SEE.

Monday Movie Madness-TV Spin
I got to thinking about some of my favorite creepy tv shows this weekend. This is what came to mind:
The Twilight Zone: I'll admit I haven't watch a lot of TZ episodes but Nightmare at 20,000 ft. is a classic and definitely creepy.
I know The Munsters and The Addams Family aren't exactly scary, but they were great and they have the best theme songs eva!
Another fun one is The Simpsons Treehouse of Horrors specials. My fave was Bart reading the Raven, but I couldn't find a clip of it.
I wasn't allowed to watch American Gothic when it first came out, but I did finally watch a few episodes a couple years ago. Good story, but it gets a little weird after the first 6 episodes. It only lasted one season but still gathered quite a cult following.
Tales from the Crypt and Amazing Stories had their creeptastic moments. Who doesn't love a montage of short freakish stories?
Fear Itself was a mini tv series on NBC that premiered about a year ago. It recently came out on DVD. Similiar to Master of Horrors and Tales from the Crypt.
I have only seen bits and pieces of Millennium, but it looks pretty good!! Produced by the same folks who did X-Files.
X-Files may also fall into the SciFi category, but we all know how scary this show could get. One of the most frightening episodes was Home from season 4. Very Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
The new TV show, Fringe, is very similiar to X-Files and worth checking out. It tends to be more on the SciFi/bioterrorism side of things, but the episode about the creature living like a gopher from this season was pretty spooky.
And the best creepy show award goes to . . . . . Twin Peaks. Bob, the Black Lodge, people talking backwards. Disturbing all the way through. Be sure to watch the Prequel to the TV show which is the movie, Fire Walk with Me.

The Shining
I remember watching this movie as a kid and being memorized by the blood pouring down the hallway.
I, however, do not like it when silly emo bands decide to rip off the movie for their stupid music videos. I don't know what is more horrific.

Monday Movie Madess
Another in a long line of horror movie classics, Dario Argento's "Suspiria" should not be missed. Perhaps one of the best-worst death scenes in any b-horror movie!

Best Worst Movie
For those fans of Troll 2, the legacy continues with a documentary made in tribute to this one of a kind bad horror movie which you can check out HERE. Perhaps the worst best horror movie ever made, at least according to Michael Paul Stephenson, the child star of the movie, who is also responsible for the making of this wonderful documentary!
Something worth adding to your wardrobe
In the spirit of Monday Movie Madness, HERE is a great website with horror t-shirts.The selection is amazing. I especially love the vintage horror t-shirt section. So many great posters! Is it just me or does the girl in the poster below look like Ellen Page(Juno)? Creepy.
Monday Movie Madness
Basket Case, filmed in 1982 is one of my all-time favorite B-horror movies. For all those people like me, who love to laugh at ridiculous, low-tech horror effects, this is right up your alley!
And along the same lines, but with more a sinister and disturbing twist, American Gothic from 1987 is as classic horror as they come. You will not be disappointed by this backwoods romp.
