halloween movies

i love halloween
it is such a happy holiday
no pressure for single folk like valentines.....
no expectations and uneasy family relationships to live up to......
or cry about later
and NO ONE in my circle DIED on halloween!
( can you spell ironic?)

ok part of halloween is the specials......
and the pumpkins...don't forget the pumpkins

so while i rarely watch tv..... and have serious trouble sitting through a movie
there are some movies and specials i would love to have a back to back marathon on

here is a partial list and i think i best add to it here and there huh?

• the worst witch- this was so campy it was great
• the addams family- both the series and the two movies with raul julia
• casper- the first movie (christina ricci is wonderful in this and the addams family)
• it's the great pumpkin charly brown ...... naturally
• harry potter.....all of them....one after the other
• the others- ok this was pretty scary the first time around, after that it's just cool
• edward scissorhands
• sleepy hollow- johnny depp VERY atmospheric~christina ricci again as well
• the nightmare before christmas
• the corpse bride ( we may as well get johnny depp out of the way
• the witches- angelica huston should only play morticia or a witch or both
• the witch's sister..... campy 70's fun
• witch's night out-little known but really interesting
• interview with a vampire -while we hate vampires messing up halloween, i gotta admit...this one is good

• ALL of the harry potter movies, do them back to back, start in july when it's raining out-YES this bares repeating.....oh man yes it does

ok that is part of a list.....i would love more movies like these. I highlighted my favorites for you all but really getting a bunch of these and watching them one after another with glowing jackolanterns and whispery 'cobwebs' all together is a wonderful family night that shouldn't give anyone nightmares
i have a lot of these on vhs but would dearly LOVE to get them all on dvd ( i have the corpse bride on dvd)....just cause i don't ever want to be without them on halloween
i wish that the folks that did sleepy hallow and the folks that did hocus pocus would do more although sleepy hallow was pretty gory.....it was just so perfect that i can accept the gore
i would love to see some more witches and ghosties.......
i also love a good ghost story...... preferably a real one....but a really good one is ok real or not
til next time
