Just curious what everyone considers the essential Halloween movies. I need some good movies that are Halloween themes.

The Omen (original with Gregory Peck).

Monster Squad and The Shining. I watch each of them almost every October.

I like the early Frankenstien and werwolf movies. When I went to the first one I don't think I went to the bathroom for a week cause it was all scared out of me. They're fun now but it took me a few years.

Well, for those with kids, Monster House turned out to be much better than I expected (a lot of fun for everyone).

I can't afford a car, I use public transportation,
I don't mind, I read till I reach my destination,
sometimes a newspaper, sometimes a book,
the money I save, this stuff is off the hook,

problem with "scary" movies is they're almost synonymous with Gore, blood, death, killing and sex.

Everything in a movie that we probably don't need to see on a screen.
