Movies on Hallowe'en

[gerhard1]

Does anyone here have a tradition of watching certaiin movies on the eve of All-Hallows Day?

Here's some I try to watch:

The Hills Have Eyes

Count Dracula

House of Wax

The House on Haunted Hill

The Stand

Except for THHE, all of these are the original movies not the re-makes. Count Dracula is a 1977 effort from the BBC and the acting there is superb. It the most faithful Dracula film I have ever seen.

Anyone else?

Halloweeny is just another day around here since I have no kids at home. My house is inside a chain-link fence on a country dirt road and sits 100 yards or so off the road. We don't even get Trick or Treaters

As for the movies, I've never gotten into the scary movies so no traditions there either.

The 1977 BBC effort mentioned in the OP was my favorite Dracula. Not only was the acting superb, the script also followed the story in the book quite closely as well. This might surprise a lot of folks who know who he was, but Louis Jourdan did surprisingly well as the evil Count.

You know I have NEVER seen Clockwork Orange all the wah through?? I dunno what the deal is but that movie triggers me BAD. The old man LOVES it. I have to go to my sewing room, shut the door, turn on some music and drown out the tv with the sewing machine. Lol
