When do you start to ramp up for Halloween and do you have a specific 'Line-Up' of movies you watch all Halloween day? For me it's 8/31. 2 months away  Kids are back in school (or next week), college and pro football starting up, weather getting cooler - temps in the 60 (i.e. jeans and hoodie weather), sleeping with the windows open with a blanket, leaves changing soon... ....and ....more Horror Movies! Halloween falls on a Wednesday here so I'll be calling out of work and the following Day of the Dead Days on Nov 1 and 2 which pretty much makes it an entire week off when you consider the weekend is then here Here's typically my Halloween movie lineup: Dracula The Wolf Man Frankenstein Bride of Frankenstein Blair Witch Trick 'R Treat House of 1000 Corpses Halloween (Carpenter) Night of the Living Dead Any suggestions? Cheers! |

Nobody I know 'ramps up' for Halloween, or has a Halloween 'mode'.
It's just another day.
I might do the Horror Board October Challenge, if I can be arsed.

I live on a council estate, where nobody in their right mind would send their kids knocking on people's doors begging sweets. If your door knocks after dark here, you answer with an axe or machete to hand, not a bag of revels. |

(kind of like Seinfeld too when you think about it) |

(kind of like Seinfeld too when you think about it) It's a large area of social housing. Houses and blocks of flats provided by councils for those most in need/disadvantaged in society. They can be a tad rough. Ours is an interesting mix of high unemployment, alcohol and drug dependency, mental health problems, ex-offenders, etc. No, not like Seinfeld at all... I think you have similar over there, you call them 'the projects'? |

I think you have similar over there, you call them 'the projects'? pretty much. every large city around here has them. some rough areas of philly and some of it's surrounding suburbs - i.e. Chester and Camden. now i get it. i was redirected through Chester during a Hurricane years ago because of local flooding - i don't think i'd be putting out halloween decorations there either. currently renting out the back of a farm in the middle of nowhere in the western suburbs - old school log cabin with exposed logs in the inside - has a creepy Texas Chainsaw Massacre/Wrong Turn/Deliverance/Hills Have Eyes/Wolf Creek/Blair Witch Vibe to it - have to travel miles to get to a store/get gas/etc - think I'll still decorate though celebrating the creepiness of it. i jog and passing some of these farms in the middle of nowhere can get a little creepy - you never know who's watching you |

I watch The Crow on Devil's Night 10/30. i've owned 'The Crow' for years upon years upon years; however have never watched it. revenge story correct? so you consider 'horror' so to speak and a film for the Halloween season? never heard of 'Devil's Night' - what's the plot of this lil baby... love The Shining. own it - but it's on so much during the season i tend to catch it 30 times during October...... |

The Crow isn't a horrer movie per se, but a gothic revenge tale that takes place on Devil's Night (10/30). Devil's Night is the night that people go out create trouble supposedly, and the satanists supposedly have their rituals (a myth I suppose, but people's cats do disappear and humane societies sometimes don't adopt out black cats around Halloween. More likely a night sociopaths have claimed as their own). The film takes place in a dystopic Detroit where gangs run the city. On Devil's night they create chaos and start fires and kill people. They kill one couple who were supposed to be married the next day on Halloween. The groom is allowed to come back from the grave a year later to get his revenge. It's great film, based on a graphic novel. |

Must-watch every October:
Cronenberg's The Fly
Romero's Dawn of the Dead
Carpenter's Halloween
Carpenter's The Fog
Creepshow
Child's Play
Pretty much anything else is up for grabs. But it's more or less all horror all October-long.

Usually when the Spirit stores start popping up, which is right now.
Too bad for the small % that don’t celebrate it, or can’t.

But it's more or less all horror all October-long. Huge Creepshow fan. Own it. Love it. Enjoyed Child's Play. That being said - I think Romero's Dawn of the Dead is the most overrated piece of crap in cinema history. Horrible cheesey acting and dialouge with characters your could care less about with a brutal soundtrack. Now the 2004 remake? It had it all baby - great acting, great pace, great atmosphere and musical score, comedy placed in the right spots, tense, action packed, love story involved - characters you cared about. Haven't seen The Fly in years (and there's probably a reason) and have never seen 'The Fog' - I'd rather watch 'The Mist' |

I think you have similar over there, you call them 'the projects'? So you're on the dole. That partially explains why you're such a curmudgeon. Not much reason to be upbeat when you're a deadbeat drunk. |
