It’s September, finally! Pumpkin flavored goodies are making their yearly voyage to menus. I love pumpkin flavored goodies, but that’s irrelevant at this moment. Halloween is coming! Just under two months till my favorite of the holidays comes. Horror flicks will soon be dominating my home entertainment system. Over the past few years I’ve tried to cast a wide net in my viewings. Stephen King adaptations, Argento/Fulci classics, and selections from the career of the master of suspense. Regardless of how wide a net I try to spread I find myself watching a few of the same titles every year.
First up seems like an obvious choice. It’s Halloween. Brilliantly directed by John Carpenter and Jamie Lee Curtis’ claim to fame is always a great watch no matter what time of year it is.
Alfred Hitchcock and Stanley Kubrick are two of my favorite directors. Psycho and The Shining tend to be must watches as well.
Halloween needs a good zombie flick and none are better then the granddaddy of them all Night of the Living Dead.
Finally The Haunting rounds out the list. I love a good haunted house film and this one (as well as The Shining) set the standard for me for haunted house movies.
I do have a feeling that The Conjuring will be added to circulation each Halloween. I thought very highly of that film when I first saw it in the theater and subsequent viewings of my blu ray have only strengthened my thoughts on the film. I eagerly look forward to the release of Annabelle, the spinoff from The Conjuring.
With all that said happy hauntings!
