what are you watching for halloween? - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

Millhouse · 10-28-2004, 10:48 PM

well folks, horror is certainly a genre that dvd has brought a lot to, so i'm wondering what (if anything) you folks are planning on watching this sunday?

i'm not too sure myself, cause i'm dj'ing a half hour at a local venue (all horror themes

) but i'll certainly post what i'm gonna watch when i've decided.

larphillips · 10-28-2004, 10:49 PM

Beers. And hopefully pretty girls at the parties I will be attending.

Millhouse · 10-28-2004, 10:54 PM

ahhh, see when you live in the most isolated state capital city in the world that is also not american, halloween means very fkn little in the broader community sense.

plus, theres some parties on saturday night here. :P

Frightening, no? I have a regular social life now, just like a normal human being. Sometimes I can't believe it myself.

Really TMI, just as a warning...

I've actually had sex again during my hiatus.

Yes... yes it was. Although my first ride didn't last quite as long as I remember.

Proof that I am in fact both a pig and a dog...

It was with my most recent ex-fiance's younger sister.

Slightly OT (but much more on topic than my previous derail):

Millhouse, what are some of the selections that you'll be spinning, and are any of them from titles you will be watching that night?

Ooooo, spun right around back on topic! Am I good or what?

MovieMan5021 · 10-28-2004, 11:58 PM

My selection for Halloween will have to be Garfield's Halloween Adventure which can be seen on the newly released Garfield Holiday Celebrations !!! Get it now!!

aedavela · 10-29-2004, 12:11 AM

On Halloween itself, I'll be watching the Kent State vs Ohio football game film, which will probably be some of the shittiest tape I've ever been "honored" to break down. Saturday night however, my girlfriend is hosting a Halloween horror movie party. So far I know the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Darkness Falls are on the agenda. I might try to add From Hell just for something a little different.

Might I suggest dumping Darkness Falls altogether? Just my opinion, but I thought it was really horrible.

I've heard similar opinions, but I've never seen the flick. Plus the girlfriend has already rented it.

Do the world a favor and erase the tape, putting something superior in it's place.

Now that I've talked it down enough, perhaps in your lowered expectations you will enjoy the film.
My work here is done.

clemato · 10-29-2004, 12:38 AM

and

For Thanksgiving, not Halloween (Hey, It's your Turkey Day!):

larphillips · 10-29-2004, 12:39 AM

Nice choices Clamato.

Might I suggest Bride as your main course since Young has such a nice, dessert-like finish.

clemato · 10-29-2004, 12:42 AM

Started watching the Mel Brooks (note Avatar - due left) commentary to Young Frank last night. It's pretty interesting so far.

Anti-Hero · 10-29-2004, 01:54 AM

Me and my buddies plan to watch the following over the course of the whole weekend..

Halloween
Halloween 2
Halloween 3
Dawn of the Dead 2004
Pet Sematary
American Werewolf In London
House of 1,000 Corpses
Phantasm
Friday the 13th
They Live
Idle Hands

zoomgirl · 10-29-2004, 03:49 AM

I'm gonna watch

Halloween (I mean....you kind of have to)
Dawn of the Dead....just bought it and never saw it....I figure that's the best way to break it in

leeving · 10-29-2004, 03:54 AM

I was thinking these:

Return of the Living Dead trilogy---haven't seen part 2 in ages

Dawn of the Dead '04
April Fool's Day
Phantasm
Christine
The Thing
Halloween 1 & 2

my wife is gonna be away this weekend, so i'll have some time to finally watch some of these. Might even throw in some more.

or I might just be playing GTA:SA all weekend.

GaLvAtRoN187 · 10-29-2004, 04:06 AM

ill probally be watching my Friday the 13th boxset if i dont finish it before sunday, if i do ill be watching the Night of the Living Dead (B&W) Dawn of the dead (1978) and the Dawn remake, possibly Halloween

***SeanL*** · 10-29-2004, 04:13 AM

28 Days Later
The Creature from the Black Lagoon
From Hell
Sleepy Hollow( I always watch this one at Halloween, and will probably make this one my first selection this year)

My luck I won't get but a couple of these in before I fall asleep on the sofa.

LeChuck · 10-29-2004, 04:45 AM

Phantasm is one of the greatest horror films ever made. Great choice. Since it is my brother's birthday, he decides. Unfortunately he is not a horror fan. Born on Halloween and not a horror fan.

Monterey Jack · 10-29-2004, 05:16 AM

I've been gorging on horror movies all month (I just loves this time of year

), but on Halloween night itself, it's always the same Tim Burton triple feature:

-The Nightmare Before Christmas

-Vincent

-Frankenweenie

After all of the gore and nastiness of the past 30 days, I'll need something creepy but fun to come down (and Nightmare is the perfect segue from Halloween to Christmas). I can't wait until next October, when I can add Burton's The Corpse Bride to my yearly list.

**SilentBob** · 10-29-2004, 05:54 AM

Sadly i'm working all day at my theater so i might just watch bits and pieces of Saw and maybe The Grudge. Sadly that is about it

Jeff003 · 10-29-2004, 06:10 AM

I will be watching a variety of Halloween Movies and Halloween Themed Shows.Here are some I will watch.

Night Of The Living Dead 1967
13 Ghosts 1961 version
The Haunted Mansion
Unsolved Mysteries Ghosts
Monster Of Walnut Grove from Little House S3
Three Stooges Spook Louder
Maybe Poltergeist and The Haunting

Rileydog · 10-29-2004, 03:25 PM

I have already watched F13th 2 and F13th Final Chapter.

Halloween on Halloween, maybe Saw in the theater tonight.

FamilyGuyfanBOY · 10-29-2004, 03:33 PM

One Movie A Night All Weekend:

mister twister · 10-29-2004, 03:43 PM

Titleist · 10-29-2004, 03:50 PM

Night of the Living Dead
Dawn of the Dead -Original
Alien
Aliens
Poltergeist
Silence of the Lambs
The Thing

While we're carving pumpkins the day before I think I'll start popping in movies as the day goes on. Duck in and out, I'm sure my sister won't mind, as she loves horror movies.

tqpix · 10-29-2004, 04:05 PM

Maybe Halloween (DiviMax). I meant to watch it last Hallowe'en, but I never did. (The DVD is still in shrinkwrap.)
