    *purchases pink shirt and yellow pants*

    Dracula was fairly good, almost ruined by Keanu's 'performance'.
    Frankenstein on the other hand... blergh. How the hell did he learn to read anyway?

    My Halowe'en movie pic is EVENT HORIZON. That and John Carpenter's The Thing.

    Can we suggest Halloween costumes? I was thinking Harley Quinn from 'Batman' would be cool.

    Every day is a good day to have
    all hell literally break lose
    .

    The original Alien and also Aliens (to a lesser extent Alien3) are all good choices too.

    Feeling more light hearted? Go for Fright Night. Picked up a boxed set with that John Carpenter's Vampires and BS' Dracula for €9 in Golden Disks.

    Speaking of light hearted, seek out Dracula: Dead And Loving It.

    Gotta agree with nerin on this one. Event Horizon, although an awesome film, does not qualify as a Halloween flick to me.

    Galva, I think you are getting mixed up with sci-fi scary movies and what Halloween is all about. There are loads of freaky sci-fi movies, but they aren't Halloween movies imo.

    Now the Lost Boys, THAT'S a Halloween flick!

    I cant see how its less a Haloween film than The Thing.

    Agreed. ive been avoiding the sequel..

    Check out near Dark, arguably the best vampire film ever made. Was a box office flop though, overlooked in favour of the more MTV friendly Lost Boys which came out around the same time.

    If I end up going somewhere that requires dressing up ofc.

    Halloween is about the super-natural; ghosts, withches, spirits, ghouls, all that kinda stuff. Sci-fi is about aliens, technology gone mad, and the likes.

    I might be wrong, but that's the way I've always classified the two anyway

    Hocus Pocus- best Halloween film ever. And it features a reasonably good-looking Sarah Jessica Parker.

    Yeah, it's the same with 'Sleepy Hollow' or 'Nightmare Before Christmas'. They seem really scary when you're a kid, but when you watch them now, they're hilarious.

    What is more supernatural than
    Hell? They literally go to hell in Event Horizon

    If anyone has a copy of Zombies Ate My Neigbours on either super Nintendo or Megadrive I highly suggest dusting it off. Great fun.
