Another year, another list of 13 Halloween movie recommendations.
An American Werewolf in London:
An American tourist gets turned into a werewolf; great transformation
effects, and some dark humour
The Cook: a foreigner prepares meals for a sorority house. They
think what he’s saying is romantic when he’s actually telling them how he plans
to kill them and turn them into food.
Dance of the Dead (2008): Zombies invade prom night
Dawn of the Dead (2004) Uses the zombies in shopping mall concept
of the original as a starting point, but then goes off in its own direction
Dead Snow: Nazi zombies
The Devil’s Den: Ghouls invade a night club
Dracula (1931) Bela Lugosi’s take is still a nice mood piece
The Evil Dead: I really many prefer the sequels, but this is my
favourite of the trilogy, an everyman facing great evil in a cabin
Freddy vs. Jason: Teens are caught in the crossfire of a war
between two slasher film icons
The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Probably the biggest omission from
previous years. A couple’s car breaks down and they encounter a “sweet
transvestite” from the city of Transsexual,
planet Transylvania
They Live: A drifter finds sunglasses that allows him to penetrate
the disguises of aliens in our midst
Underworld (2003): First in a series of movies about vampires
battling werewolves
Village of the Damned (1995): I haven’t seen the original, but the
remake about part alien kids is quite creepy.
