Movies: Happy Halloween Spooky Movie Lists

These are some other random ones I thought of that are worth mentioning:
Pulse (2006)
An American Werewolf in London (1981)
The Descent (2005)
Cloverfield (2008)
Planet Terror (2007)
Nightmare on Elm Street- and sequels (1984-1994)
Friday the 13th- and sequels (1981-2001)
The Thing (1982)
and finally,
The Masters of Horror TV series has put out it's share of crap but there are a few that are fantastic. The 2 that stick out in my mind:
Jenifer (2005) with Steven Weber
Pelts (2006) with a M. E. Atloaf. (yeah, Meat Loaf)

And that concludes this year's Halloween Movie recommendations. I purposely did not include movies I didn't see. I don't need anyone coming back to tell me that I ruined the Movie Fest by suggesting a movie that turned out to be complete rubbish. But, that means I may have missed some good ones too. Let me know if you have any old or new scary movies in your collections that I failed to mention.

Be safe.

Kids, don't forget to let your parents check you candy before you start eating it, and parents don't forget to check the candy.

Also check out the sexual predators in your area, Halloween is their Christmas, only the gifts are bringing themselves. http://www.familywatchdog.us/

That last thing was supposed to be a joke, but it ended up just sounding like good advice.

Happy Monster Day.
