All 3 Evil Dead movies

try to go through ALL Halloween movies

try to go through ALL Hellraiser movies

already did ALL Friday The 13th movies(including remake)

and finally the new Trick 'r Treat,this is a DAMN good movie,watched it twice already.

I usually try to watch something new, but I  have been re-watching the Universal monster movies from the 30's and 40's.  Great movies if anyone is wondering.  Some of my "must watch" monster classics are:

Dracula

Frankenstein

Bride of Frankenstein

The Wolf Man

Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man

And +1 for the fans of Evil Dead 2.

Nightmare before Christmas (is this a Halloween movie or a Christmas movie?  I either watch it for both or call it somewhere inbetween and watch it at Thanksgiving)
Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin
Sleepy Hollow
Disney's Ichabod Crane
Thriller
Young Frankenstein
My Boyfriend's Back

And I picked up a copy of Monster Squad a year or two ago.  I'm a little nervous about watching it and realizing that not only is it not great... but that it's actually terrible.

I am also not a big fan of the Horror genre, but I enjoy Evil Dead.  I never really thought about them as Halloween movies, though.

What, no Love at First Bite?

Actually looking forward to that new film - Trick r Treat.

The Monster Squad is definitely a sub-par movie, but it has certain things worth watching.  Throughout all the monster movies, we always hear what can kill them, but nobody ever tries another way.  Well, thanks to TMS, we find out what happens when you shove a stick of dynamite down a Wolf Man's pants.  He'll blow the fuck up, but he's going to fully regenerate as if nothing ever happened.  And Gillman never looked more badass. 

Great work done by Stan Winston and co. 

It's also the only film to have ever featured all five classic monsters, even if only Dracula was necessary to the plot.  The movie's cheesy as hell in a lot of parts, but I like it because it reminds me of my childhood where my love of horror began.

Most of all I can remember is: "You kicked wolfman in the nads!" or something like that. (or was it "nards"?)

And an argument as to whether "Frankenstein" refered to the monster or the scientist.

I always try to go through some of the classic Universals, and vow to make it all the way through the Legacy Collections-but never can. (They get sooo bad towards the end!!) Also a big hammer fan.

Frankenstein/Bride of Frankenstein/Son of Frankenstein

The Invisible Man (1933)

Dracula (1931 of course and the Spanish version)

Curse of Frankenstein/Frankenstein and the Monster From Hell -is Must be destroyed good?

The Hammer Draculas- especially Horror of  and Prince of Darkness. (Will try and get through the whole series this time-this means re-watching AD 1972....why do I do this to myself?)

The Mummy (1932 and 1959)

And my personal favorite: Vincent Price in anything. Especially Theater of Blood, Dr. Phibes, and the Poe series.

"Wolf Man's got nards!"

So I guess you have to add:

Buffy the Vampire Slayer (movie) (Thank you AMC and the wife and me not wanting to get out of bed until 10)

and

Edward Scissorhands

How did everyone do on their goals?

I watched at least one horror movie a day and it was awesome. 

Watched Trick 'r treat. I was expecting certain actors to be in it more than they were but overall I enjoyed it. I could easily see them doing a whole series of these movies, mix a handful of nutty tales with crossovers, maybe set each one in a different town.

Might have to watch it again and see if i can spot any more crossovers...It would be a cool novelty to see the stories play out in split scene in proper chronological order.

Didn't really get a chance to watch anything else.

I'm not a fan of horror, but the local college was showing Nosferatu with a live orchestra last night, so I decided to go.

It was really good.  I got to talk to the orchestra for a while afterwards, and they were really nice people.  My only gripe, I suppose, is that they create their own, original scores for the movies they accompany (that are certainly good), and, while there are a lot of strings, it also contains some modern instruments like electric guitars, heavy percussion, and synthesizers that feel a bit out of place, in my opinion.  I have to say it was quite a shock.  The first act of the film was nearly all violins, and it felt very much like being in the 1920s.  But once the count showed up, there was suddenly electric guitar, and it was very jarring.  So, to sum up, I thought they were great, and I hope they can continue doing what they're doing, but I would have preferred a more "traditional" score.

On the film side, though, it was a restored 35mm projection, and it looked fantastic!  Obviously it was full of scratches and deterioration, but the level of detail was amazing.  I'd never seen a film so old... on film in a theatre, and it was certainly an experience on the visual side.  I'd love to see more.

Seeing classic film in a theater is unbelievable-and silents take on a whole new life.

I saw The Mummy (1932) and Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman in a theater this Halloween.

The Monster Squad is great, only "Halloween" movie I watched...and I still love it for exactly the same reason..the childhood feeling haha

Maybe I'll bust it out after all.
