Not going out on Halloween? Want a decent movie to watch (or in one case, a great bad movie)? Here's some suggestions:
The Others: Creepy story of two families sharing the same mansion.
The Nightmare before Christmas: Halloween creatures take over Christmas.
Dead End: A family on a car ride attempt to take a short cut with dire consequences.
Love Object: A shy office worker transfers his feelings towards a woman in his office to a mannequin. Played for creepiness, not laughs.
Return of the Living Dead: Zombies and dark humour. They want your brains!
Halloween (1978): The 2007 version is fine too, but there's something especially creepy about this version.
Dawn of the Dead (1979): Again no slight to the remake, but the original story of people fighting zombies in a shopping mall is still the best.
Chopping Mall: Another good shopping mall horror, only this time with killer security robots.
Plan 9 from Outer Space: The classic unintentionally funny movie involves ghouls, alien invaders, and an obvious stand-in for Bela Lugosi.
Near Dark: A good ol' boy runs afowl of nomadic vampires.
There's Nothing Out There: A guy in a group of campers realizes they might be in a horror movie scenario.
Wilderness Survival for Girls: A group of girls camping either do terrible things in self defense or for no good reason. You decide which.
Highway to Hell: Sadly not on DVD yet, a hellcop kidnaps a woman and takes her to the titular road. Bad puns abound.
