Favorite Halloween Entertainment

wolf · 10-24-2004, 11:23 PM

'Tis the season after all ... Since Brianna covered Halloween Music

I have a list of Must See movies and TV specials ...

It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown
Something Wicked This Way Comes
The Exorcist
The Legend of Hell House (The one with Roddy McDowell)
All those William Castle classics that I love and derided in the "Worst Movies" thread
The Haunting (original version only please, not the lame remake)

I'll probably think of more as people add to this ...

Rocky Horror Picture Show
It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (all Peanuts are Classic)
'Salem's Lot
the first 'Halloween' movie

And I always like to read a lot of Poe about this time of year.

Roaming the streets and screaming at little children, "Gimme your candy you little bastards!" is more than enough entertainment for me on Halloween.*

*--Rho and I don't do much for Halloween...maybe we'll go out to dinner.

I've never been into horror movies or stuff like that.

But "The Great Pumpkin" is obligatory.

Oh my! I was waiting for the punchline, but then I realized that this thing was serious! If I were a trick or treater and I got one of those in my bag, I'd egg their house.

I'm a big fan of Nightmare Before Christmas.

Talk about a wimpy Buffy! She should grab a stake and kick some evil ass!

Looks good to me, too!

Trilby · 10-30-2004, 06:30 PM

Only 1/2 hour left of this infernal jumping up every two minutes to answer the door!

Trick or Treat my ass! These kids need to get a job!

Clodfobble · 10-30-2004, 07:12 PM

Brianna, why are kids coming to your door tonight??

Trilby · 10-30-2004, 09:08 PM

Oh, sorry! It's trick or treat night--aka Beggar's night---they come to get candy.

Clodfobble · 10-31-2004, 09:57 AM

...Nope, still confused. In my world tonight is Halloween, when all the kids come to the door screaming "Trick or treat!" Where do you live again?

We actually passed this one around at the annual Pagan Halloween Party on Friday night. It is hysterical.

Clodfobble, I'm in southwest Ohio--a little north of Cincinnati. Every community here has a different trick or treat night--ours was last night.

Bri is an American, but she may live in a municipality where they moved Trick or Treating to Saturday night to avoid offending the Christians any more than absolutely necessary.

At least...I *think* she's an American. Bri?
