Your list of best Halloween DVDs

[Taxi]

Okay, so say you're going to throw a Halloween party. In the background, or maybe even the featured event, will be the best Halloween DVDs. List your favorites here. (Don't go nuts with the list, just pick three or four. And remember to limit yourself to films that are on DVD.)

My list would be:
Poltergeist
An American Werewolf in London
Army of Darkness
Alien (The first one.)

(This leaves a couple of the more obvious choices free for you other folks. )

[Mother]

I would run (in this order):

The Nightmare Before Christmas
Re-Animator
Evil Dead II
Sleepy Hollow (the Tim Burton version)
Bloodsucker Leads The Dance

-Hellraiser 2
-The Thing (John Carpenter's version)
-Psycho (Hitch's version, natch)
-Sleepy Hollow

(Ok, so it's a *long* party!)

Mine would be (in this order):

Halloween
Army of Darkness
Evil Dead
Evil Dead 2
Sleepaway Camp

Yes, I know the movies are out of order, but watching AOD first makes Evil dead even more creepy. Especially by the time, having watched 2 movies, you're beginning to feel a little tired and that's the perfect way to watch it.

In a few weeks it's gonna be The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

...and I'm one of the few people in the world who actually like the movie, on many levels. It's a weakness.

[esc]

go ahead hit me.. we are going to watch UHF and Elvira, Mistress of the Dark... on VHS.. nooooo! if that isnt scary, i dont know what is.

[manigrasso]

The Exorcist-unless you're going to see it in the theaters
The Wall-I know it's not horror, but it scared the crap out of me the first time I saw it. Get altered and watch it again!
Phantasm
Mystery Science Theater 3000's version of The Brain That Wouldn't Die
Blues Brothers 2000-spooooooky

[Laughing Gravy]

Oh, boy! What a great question!

Leafing through my collection, I think I'd cover my Hallowe'en party with BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN, ABBOTT & COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN, PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE, and my DVD of Hammer horror trailers (I actually don't care much for Hammer films, but the trailers are nice!).

[Cobra]

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Halloween
The Thing

[indiephantom]

I recently did a thread like this on horrordvds.com

My choices would be:

THE BEYOND (if it makes the date)
INFERNO
ORGAN
BRAIN DAMAGE
CANDYMAN

[Dominik Pfleghaar]

The Nightmare Before Christmas
Halloween
Army of Darkness

[Sid]

Re-Animator
Bride of Re-Animator
Vampires (Not really horror, but brings back memories of a cool year, seems so much longer than 2 years ago)
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Night of the Living Dead (Elite)

And I'll bet that as soon as my Rocky Horror DVD arrives, it'll be on that list

[Mr. Freeze]

How about these:

Young Frankenstein
Prince of Darkness
Fright Night
Phantasm(the only movie when I was younger that actually scarred me)

I tried to keep with ones not already mentioned for variety so needless to say a lot of the ones mentioned earlier I also like.
