    I shall be watching the original Halloween then, though I prefer films like 'The Grudge' and 'The Ring'.
    On a side note, I was in Spain during the summer, and people there seemed to think Halloween originated in the U.S.. They were surprised when I informed them that it actually started in Ireland with the Samhain festival ( I think so anyway, I could be wrong.) I think it's quite cool that it spread so far around the world. Though it seems to be dying out a bit, particularly the old games like Snap Apple. I don't even see that many kids trick or treating where I live. It's kinda sad. :(

    Smart ass Lolly:p

    So does anyone have a tradition, like Doom mentioned, that they abide to every Halloween? Mine is to watch as many horror films, either classic or cult, and I'm kicking it all off with Stephen King's IT tonight.:D

    I also like to go for a walk on my own in the middle of the night...

    Aw, I remember one time I was in a little town in Yorkshire and I went for a walk through the graveyard there with my gf, and the mist settled in and the moon was high... It was one of those perfect moments!

    Oh well, move on. :)

    I've only seen the remake by Rob Zombie, and I really like it. Is the original one better though?

    watch the original, i havent seen the rob zombie version but im willing to bet the original was better, they normally are!

    Yeah the remake is very poor. The original is quite good.

    Sounds like an awesome atmosphere but how did you get into the graveyard at night?

    Another tradition for me would be the bonfire. My green has plenty of big beautiful trees(which remain in tact of course) and it just gives me a great sensation sitting there gazing into a big blazing fire with the wind whistling in the trees. Fantastic.

    It's a tiny little graveyard in North England. We could easily hop over the walls. Had proper tombs and everything. I do miss those days :)

    traditions-well the whole month is super busy-between religious stuff,and halloween stuff itself,theres so much to do. Extra candles and spookiness,usually venture into a euro store to get stuff. Walks in the autumn are great. Lots of halloweeny films,tv, books etc even the laptop gets the seasonal treatment.

    I did check. I seen it was still there so I posted. Thought you'd missed it. Are we not encouraged to mention when unmentionables have been mentioned?

    There are a few scary bits but it's nothing excessive, it's more sad than scary. A brilliant film nonetheless.

    No man, you're not. Because this film ****s on everything else that attempted that style, there is no comparison.
