With that sais, What are some of your favorite Halloween movies? Mine are the Halloween movies from John Carpenter and 80's movies Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street movies!

Another upstater here...

Yep, we've just past our peak in terms of leaves and now we're headed down.

Just about any horror flick does the trick for me from the Universal monsters of the 30's & 40's to the Hammer Films of the 50's & 60's with some Japanese Kaiju thrown in for good measure. Topped off with some 80's slasher action.

"Way-down-souther" here, lol, in Southeast Texas. Feels nothing like Halloween for us, with temps in the mid to upper 80s and muggy as heck for the next week and a half at least. Bummer. It's pretty scary and sad to see the Halloween makeup melting off the kiddies' faces, when we don't get cold fronts in time for trick or treating. :eek:

Great movies to watch this time of year for me are Blair Witch Project, Halloween (1st one only), Amityville Horror, Rosemary's Baby, The Omen, The Legend of Boggy Creek, The Shining, Cloverfield, Troll Hunter. It's also fun to watch ghost shows and shows about extreme haunted houses/attractions from around the country. This is off the top of my head. May think of more later.

I prefer the comedic spin at Halloween. Shaun of the Dead, Evil Dead series, Motel Hell, Return of the Living Dead, Fright Night, Killer Klowns from Outer Space.

Definitely my neck of the woods!

The number of local breweries has simply exploded over the last 5 years.

The best Halloween movie, without question, is The Nightmare Before Christmas. Even the kiddos can watch it!

John Carpenter's The Thing is great. Prince of Darkness and In the Mouth of Madness are weird and low-budget Carpenter movies that are fun too. One has Satan in a jar in the basement of a California church, and the other has a character that's obviously Stephen King causing the apocalypse.
