Halloween Movie Marathon 2010

[dub2108]

Every year I have a movie marathon on Halloween. I am trying to come up with this years list of movies and having a bit of trouble. I however have chosen 3 and would like to have about 8 or 9 preferably horror. The 3 I have already chosen are Rocky Horror Picture Show, Grindhouse, and Hard Candy. Please give me some suggestions only stipulations are they must come on Blu and are horror or thriller.
Thanks

[koontz1973]

Check out the 31 days of Halloween 2009 thread for some great titles and reviews by lots of members. This years is going to be a blast.

I think these go without saying but: Alien/s, Exorcist and Psycho for sure!

Some other possibilities:

The Decent
Exorcism of Emily Rose
Se7en
The Thing
The Fly
Interview with the Vampire
Bram Stoker's Dracula
Daybreakers
Let the Right One In
Poltergeist
The Orphanage
Shutter Island
Zodiac
Wolf
Frankenstein
Underworld

If you want some with a bit more fun:
Drag Me to Hell
Evil Dead
Ghostbusters
Sleepy Hollow
Sweeney Todd
Trick R Treat
Zombieland

After listing those, sounds like I'll have to make a Halloween weekend of some movie watching!

Yes on Mars Attacks! Its like one of those '50s horror/sci-fi movies.
Yes to King Kong but only if it's the '30s version not the Peter Jackson crap.

This year I'm gonna go with

Halloween (Original)
Donnie Darko
Troll 2

[28BlusLater]

I usually don't decide until around late September.

I have a feeling The Evil Dead will be one of the movies, though.

I'm starting my marathon on the first of September.

lol Thats the spirit. You almost have to start now, there are too many good movies to get in. I know alot of people won't agree but I have to watch Sleepy Hallow each year, among others of course. I didn't see it mentioned so I thought I'd throw it out there. Here's another, The Changling, don't watch alone if you know whats good for you. Oh I missed it, Ripley has Sleepy Hallow down.
