I must recommend "Spider Baby" (1965), starring the great Lon Chaney Jr.! Yes, it's low-budget, yes it's in black and white. But it's as unique as it is creepy. The film also features noteworthy supporting performances from Sid Haig and Jill Banner (watch the dinner scene, when she's eating the salad). Added bonus: Chaney Jr. sings the movie's theme song! Well worth a look for Halloween.
Such a fun and creepy movie! Always reminds me of a pre Addams Family precursor. The great Mantan Moreland has a cameo at the beginning. I can watch this flick over and over.
Lost Boys, Bram Stokers Dracula, Stir of Echoes, Trick 'r Treat, Hereditary, Creepshow 1, Idle Hands, From Dusk till Dawn, Night of the Living Dead, thats just some of the great Halloween movies I would recommend
Jennifer's body is a cult masterpiece and anyone who thinks otherwise is lime green Jello and they can't even admit it to themselves! Plus all Tim Burton movies rule. Look at how much the details improved on Corpse Bride vs. Nightmare it's incredible how far they advanced in around a decade. Thank you Lady Jay Mistress of the Dark! 🦇
For me, the three final months of the year belong to Tim Burton. Corpse Bride is for preparing for halloween, Sleepy Hollow is for halloween, The Nightmare before Christmas is for the time between halloween and christmas and Edward Scissorhands is an annual christmas tradition. Because that time of the year would just be incomplete without the appearence of Christopher Lee and Vincent Price.
Interesting list! I’ve seen almost all of them, except for 3: Pet Sematary, Corpse Bride, & The Ring. My personal top 10 list (not in any order): Friday the 13th part III (1982), Dracula (1931), The Invisible Man (1933), The Wolf Man (1941), Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954), Halloween (1978), Halloween (2018), The Frighteners (1996), Sleepy Hollow (1999), & The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) 🎃👻
It's an okay list , there is no the Omen , Nightmare on Elm Street ,Alien ,Fright Night , 28 days of night , most of her movies are not that scary , I do like the crow and pet cemetery.Texas Chainsaw Massacre is very scary , It was scary but her list is okay. How can I forget dawn of the dead. The fly also . I am going to stop too many awesome scary movies.
My nephew and I are celebrating Burtontober 😜. Other classics The Crow, Skeleton Twins, Ghostbusters, Cabin in the woods, Sweet Home (1989 film), Evil Dead series, Demon Knight, and Way too many to name lol.
Yes! The Crow! My all time favorite. The soundtrack was awesome. I was 16 when this movie came out. R.I.P Brandon Lee. By the way your crow cosplay, love it!
The Nightmare Before Christmas is a Halloween Movie that takes place during Christmas, like Diehard is an Action Movie that takes place during Christmas. Neither are truly Christmas movies, but are admissible viewings during Christmas. Plus Jennifer's Body has way more substance than it let on, yes it has fan service, but I'd argue that its more than the sum of its parts.
As an old timer I would say my list would be 1. The Exorcist 2. Jaws 3. Alien (1979) 4. The Thing (1982) 5. Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) 6. Insidious 7. An American Werewolf in London (1981) 8. 28 Days Later (2008) 9. The Grudge (2004) 10. The Ring. Your list is quite interesting 😊
Nice 👍🏾 list especially The Crow …My list is : Alien & Aliens…Creepshow 2 especially the Hitchhiker skit ( “ Thanks for the ride lady, thanks for the ride) …The OG Fright Night…Ghost Patrick Swayze & Demi Moore…Ghost Breakers ( 1940) Bob Hope & Paulette Goddard … Interview With The Vampire…The Lost Boys…The Mummy (1999)…Wolf Jack Nicholson & Michelle Pfeiffer …Keep up the Great work 🖖🏾
"Sometimes dead is better." "Victims, aren't we all." "Heeeeeeere's Johnny!" "...Santa Claws!" "You'll float too." "I see dead people." Pretty cool list. No Exorcist (1973)???🤔 Like any of these non slasher classics?: The Thing (1982) Alien Aliens An American Werewolf in London Fright Night Bram Stokers Dracula Interview with a Vampire The Lost Boys Scream (1996)
I’m more of a monster movie aficionado so as far as scary ones go for me it’s Alien, John Carpenter’s The Thing, Predator (I mean it basically turns into a horror film after 20 minutes), and finally both Godzilla 1954 and 84 as those two are the more “horror” tinged films in the franchise (and we might be getting a third in that style with Godzilla Minus One this December). I need to watch The Crow myself at some point. Solid list, Jay!
This is a very good list of scary movies. My favorite scary movies to watch for Halloween are: It(2017), It Chapter 2, Mimic, Life, The Pyramid, The Relic, Pumpkinhead and Antlers.
Nice! I'm an old dude, so I like the oldies. But, I'm also a film nerd, so I like a LOT of films. For Halloween, in no particular order: 😉 1. Elvira: Mistress of the Dark 2. The Fog 3. Beetlejuice 4. Halloween 5. Alien 6. The Lost Boys 7. Psycho 8. Batman Returns (Yes, Batman Returns) 9. Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein 10. Pumpkinhead
I really like your list! Intersects a lot with mine! Here are some extra masterpieces, IMHO, to add to this already awesome list: - Addams Family (great family movie that I watch with the kids every year and one of my all time favorite movie) - Nightmare on Elms Street (the original only which is not afraid to end very badly) - The Omen (an old classic that relies on atmosphere and mystery to get you hooked big time) - Amytiville (the original 70s one, I still shiver thinking about that one, real horror and zero special effects) - Brain Dead (New Zealand zombie gore fest comedy style made by no other than Peter Jackson!!!) - Fright Night (the original not the remake, the ultimate Vampire movie for Halloween season!! Oldie but goody) If you have not seen some of these movies, I highly recommend! Happy Halloween season!
The original Nosferatu from 1922. Rosemary's baby The original Exorcist. Hellraiser (people's favorite out of the series varies. But the first is always a good start) The original Poltergeist An American Werewolf in London (Scary but also funny and just a good movie) The original The Thing Then there are Hitchcock movies. But not for those with issues with attention span. The movies work on the long drawn out suspense that just builds and builds.
Love the list Jay what I've got on my list this year is 1. Candyman (My favorite horror movie) 2. The Nightmare Before Christmas 3. The Rob Zombie Firefly trilogy 4. From Dusk Till Dawn 5. Monster House 6. Event Horizon 7. The first two Addams Family movies 8. Terrifier 1 and 2 9. X and Pearl 10. The first Scream movie Honorable mentions Bride of Chucky, Corpse Bride, Beetlejuice, Coraline
What is a great fit to this selection of movies is Ravenous. Came out in 1999, directed by Antonia Bird, stars Guy Pearce, and music score by the awesome Damon Albarn ( of Blur and Gorillaz). Spooky, yet adventurous, yet surreal popcorn watch!
Halloween isn't something I really follow. But always in the mood for Horror and Terror. Jay, Great list specifically The Crow and you certainly looked spot on. And Thanks for reminding about Jennifer's Body that's a flash back I want to see again. Cheer's Gorgeous.x 🇬🇧
That is a cool list based on the ones I’ve seen. I’m also a fan of The Crow (which Marvel did an homage to with a Captain Marvel poster) and of the Tin Burton movies mentioned. Another one you should check out is “V for Vendetta” which is particularly good for watching in November 5th. It has both some similarities and lots of differences compared to “The Crow” and definitely has an interesting story.
Great list! I would add Stephen King's Misery. I don't know if it's more thriller than horror but a great watch for the october season. I would also highly recommend The Devil's Rejects. It's the sequel to House of 1000 Corpses which is also an entertaining film and worth a watch. Devil's Rejects however still gives me chills watching it till this day. Probably my all time favorite horror movie.
I watched "The Shining" every year at Halloween for six years. Now I watch "It follows" and " The Cabin in the woods" for some fun and it's still a little scary. All good picks, never seen "Pet cemetery" so I should give that one a try. My two cat's already try to kill me so I should be fine.
Yes! I cosign this Halloween 🎃 movie list Jay. The Shining, Nightmare before Christmas, The Crow. Tim Burton made great films. I enjoyed the new IT too. Honorable mentions you might enjoy is Vampire In Brooklyn, Beetlejuice, Halloween Town, Hocus Pocus, Chucky (1,2, and 3) Also the classic Frankenstein movie. Thanks for sharing great movies for me to watch and yes Jennifer's Body mention was sus lol. Have a great day my friend
Nice selections! Have you seen Doctor Sleep? It manages to be a sequel to The Shining novel and the movie (which you probably know was very much Kubrick's Shining). It gets a bit fan-servicy near the end but I really enjoyed it. Ewan McGregor and Rebecca Ferguson are both great in it and Mike Flanagan directed. He also did Oculus which I recommend if you like movies where , along with the main characters, never quite know what is and isn't real.
Some great choices, IMO the Shining is the most disturbing movie ever as it seems to real, most of it is happening inside someones mind! . Also as an honourable mention check out Salem Lot, the mini series from 1979 staring David Soul and James Mason, a lost classic of the vampire genre.
My Top 10 Spooky Season movies are: Scream, Saw, Insidious, The Conjuring, The Mummy, IT, Halloween, Chucky, Friday the 13th, and Sinister. These are pretty good scary movies to watch for Spooky Season 😁🎃👻
Pretty good list Jay! I'm a horror lover so it's great to hear your personal favorites. I'm definitely a slasher fan though, and since we've got a Friday the 13th this October, I'll have to watch Part 6 since it's my favorite in the series. I think my favorites on your list are IT, The Shining, and The Crow. As for me, I just watched SAW X on Thursday and it was..... surprisingly VERY good?! Also I'm excited for Five Nights at Freddy's, been a fan of the games since the first one came out in 2013, or was it 2014.
Considering my favourite horror film, and usual triple bills .i had to lol at you saying you personally aren't s fan of Halloween, which is fine, everyone has their own taste. Not surprisingly usually i watch back-to-back Halloween, Halloween 2, and Halloween 4, in 2023 i had a change and watched Halloween, Halloween 2018, and Halloween Kills. Other favourite Halloween choices could include The Omen, Damien: Omen 2, The Excorcist, The Excorcist 3, Scream, A Nightmare On Elm Street, A Nightmare On Elm Street 3, Creepshow, Poltergeist, Bride Of Chucky, Urban Legend, Paranormal Activity, or The Shining.
Obviously Halloween 3 is a great one to watch, my favourite film between the ages of 6 and 11, and i watched it 2 or 3 times most weeks for those 5 years between 1986 and 1991.
I personally mostly watch horror/halloween season movies during September to November. Unless a new Friday the 13th come out at a different time wich i would totally watch on release but for the most part its just these months. Usually i start Early Sept and finish a week or so after Halloween. I try to watch 20ish movies and my rule is ONLY movies i NEVER saw. So far 10 watched already. I try to keep the heavy hiters more for October and the closest to Halloween for afformentioned Halloween theme movies. Remaining on my list i got stuff like Barbarian, Bodies Bodies Bodies, the new Boogeyman movie and more.
Good list. Have you seen 1987's "Prince of Darkness" (John Carpenter) staring the late great Donald Pleasence. Very creepy and as part of John Carpenters Apocalypse trinity it is a must see for horror fans. Looking forward to your Halloween cosplay (un-dead Wonder Woman?), Have a great Halloween.
Corpse Bride and Nightmare Before Christmas are great stop motion films. One of my guilty pleasures for Halloween is old school Rankin/Bass stop motion's "Mad Monster Party" starring the voices of Boris Karloff and Phyllis Diller.
I wish you had included Slasher movie on here Snarky Jay they are fun but to each their own. I love the Crow RIP Brandon Lee and I love the insidious movies
I recommend the new hellraiser movie and the haunting of hill house miniseries. I love a number of movies on your list. Have you seen the sequel to the shining?
Wow... I'm glad you didn't include slasher movies. They aren't horror movies to me. They're SCARY but NOT spooky. I'm really glad you understand this. It warms my elderly heart.
Disney also thought of Nightmare Before Xmas as a Halloween movie, so they released Hocus Pocus in July to avoid self-competition. It was a weird choice. Highly recommend The Babadook!
Just watched this 2014 movie “Jamesy Boy” . You’re the spit for the character Crystal in it. So there ya go! She’s played by Rosa Salazar…don’t know what she looks like now ha.
I once stumbled upon a youtube video that I have been trying to find for the past 10 years at least. It was a combination of edits from the movie Corpse Bride (which I saw in the theater) and the Alice Cooper's song Gail/Roses on White Lace from his Prince of Darkness album (and yes, i saw him on tour for that album). Your list reminded me i need to keep looking.
I love this list! My only two caveats are The Shining, I fell asleep and Jennifer’s Body, they showed you the aftermath of what would have been one of the best scenes in the movie in the credits.
Snarky, interesting list. Some of my favorites are dawn of the dead, jaws, Halloween, exorcist, IT, Bran Stokers Dracula, and Howling. Luv ya Snarky 👍💋
Great list. The only thing I would change is sub out Corpse Bride with the original Disney Legend of Sleepy Hollow from 1949. I also might put The Crow a little higher but otherwise great stuff. Love Insidious, love the original Pet Semetary.
I often watch Nightmare Before Christmas for Halloween & Christmas every year. I also like Night of the Living Dead 1990, Tim Burton's Sleepy Hallow, An American Werewolf in London, The Exorcist, Beetlejuice, A Nightmare on Elm Street series, Cloverfield, Abbott & Costello Meets The(insert scary monster here), Elvira Mistress of the Dark(cause she is super hot..*growl).
This my favorite time of year. Horror movies are my favorite . Love all the old classics but I’m a big James wan fan as well . Except maybe the last couple movies he’s done but most of his stuff is good considering Modern horror usually sucks
Most of your list I will agree with. Some I will not or better yet not watch at all. However to each their own and a warm spooky thanks for sharing! That said I have one point and one suggestion. Point: let's give credit where credit is due! Tim Burton created the characters, and he was producer but he did not direct "Nightmare Before Christmas" that film was (with sereal excellence )directed by Henry Selick who also directed the creepy animated wonder "Coroline" The film I would recommend would be the 1963 film "The Haunting" a masterpiece directed by Robert Wise is the ultimate ghost to watch in the dark. Sure, it's shot in black and white, that adds to the moody atmosphere of the old house that makes you wonder exactly what is in that room holding darkness within. Check it out!
AAAAAAAAGH! Candy corn!!!!??? The Horror, the horror. Mine: 1931 Dracula, not scary but fantastic atmosphere, Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein (1931-35). Once again not very scary but amazing atmosphere. 1999 Sleepy Hollow. (My kind of Tim Burton Movie). The Sixth Sense, The Others (2001), Hallowe'en (1978) The Invisible Man (1933) One expection of film but a TV special. It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (1966 for nostaligia and laughs), Salem's Lot (1979 TV Mini series). And finally The Wicker Man (1973)
I must recommend "Spider Baby" (1965), starring the great Lon Chaney Jr.! Yes, it's low-budget, yes it's in black and white. But it's as unique as it is creepy. The film also features noteworthy supporting performances from Sid Haig and Jill Banner (watch the dinner scene, when she's eating the salad). Added bonus: Chaney Jr. sings the movie's theme song! Well worth a look for Halloween.
Such a fun and creepy movie! Always reminds me of a pre Addams Family precursor.
The great Mantan Moreland has a cameo at the beginning.
I can watch this flick over and over.
If you haven't already, Trick'r Treat is a definite must-watch for Halloween! 🎃
I second this!
Lost Boys, Bram Stokers Dracula, Stir of Echoes, Trick 'r Treat, Hereditary, Creepshow 1, Idle Hands, From Dusk till Dawn, Night of the Living Dead, thats just some of the great Halloween movies I would recommend
Jennifer's body is a cult masterpiece and anyone who thinks otherwise is lime green Jello and they can't even admit it to themselves! Plus all Tim Burton movies rule. Look at how much the details improved on Corpse Bride vs. Nightmare it's incredible how far they advanced in around a decade. Thank you Lady Jay Mistress of the Dark! 🦇
For me, the three final months of the year belong to Tim Burton. Corpse Bride is for preparing for halloween, Sleepy Hollow is for halloween, The Nightmare before Christmas is for the time between halloween and christmas and Edward Scissorhands is an annual christmas tradition. Because that time of the year would just be incomplete without the appearence of Christopher Lee and Vincent Price.
Interesting list! I’ve seen almost all of them, except for 3: Pet Sematary, Corpse Bride, & The Ring. My personal top 10 list (not in any order): Friday the 13th part III (1982), Dracula (1931), The Invisible Man (1933), The Wolf Man (1941), Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954), Halloween (1978), Halloween (2018), The Frighteners (1996), Sleepy Hollow (1999), & The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) 🎃👻
Totally recommend those!
As a horror enthusiast, this was a solid list. The scariest suggestion out of all of these... eating candy corn. You absolute MONSTER! :p
It's an okay list , there is no the Omen , Nightmare on Elm Street ,Alien ,Fright Night , 28 days of night , most of her movies are not that scary , I do like the crow and pet cemetery.Texas Chainsaw Massacre is very scary , It was scary but her list is okay. How can I forget dawn of the dead. The fly also . I am going to stop too many awesome scary movies.
yea insidious def held a place for me. the movie "They" was on my list too I think your taste would like it a lot also! Keep the great takes coming!
Thank you!
Disney's Legend of Sleepy Hollow for me.
Solid list. One movie I'd recommend is The Autopsy of Jane Doe. No spoilers, but that twist in the end still gives me chills.
My nephew and I are celebrating Burtontober 😜. Other classics The Crow, Skeleton Twins, Ghostbusters, Cabin in the woods, Sweet Home (1989 film), Evil Dead series, Demon Knight, and Way too many to name lol.
For sure!
Yes! The Crow! My all time favorite.
The soundtrack was awesome. I was 16 when this movie came out. R.I.P Brandon Lee. By the way your crow cosplay, love it!
The Nightmare Before Christmas is a Halloween Movie that takes place during Christmas, like Diehard is an Action Movie that takes place during Christmas. Neither are truly Christmas movies, but are admissible viewings during Christmas. Plus Jennifer's Body has way more substance than it let on, yes it has fan service, but I'd argue that its more than the sum of its parts.
As an old timer I would say my list would be
1. The Exorcist
2. Jaws
3. Alien (1979)
4. The Thing (1982)
5. Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)
6. Insidious
7. An American Werewolf in London (1981)
8. 28 Days Later (2008)
9. The Grudge (2004)
10. The Ring.
Your list is quite interesting 😊
Nice 👍🏾 list especially The Crow …My list is : Alien & Aliens…Creepshow 2 especially the Hitchhiker skit ( “ Thanks for the ride lady, thanks for the ride) …The OG Fright Night…Ghost Patrick Swayze & Demi Moore…Ghost Breakers ( 1940) Bob Hope & Paulette Goddard … Interview With The Vampire…The Lost Boys…The Mummy (1999)…Wolf Jack Nicholson & Michelle Pfeiffer …Keep up the Great work 🖖🏾
I had completely forgotten about "Corpse Bride"!!! Thanks for the reminder!
Friiiight Night! “Oh you’re so cool, Snarky Jay” (1985) and Near Dark (1987) “finger lickin’ good!”.
👻🦇😉
"Sometimes dead is better."
"Victims, aren't we all."
"Heeeeeeere's Johnny!"
"...Santa Claws!"
"You'll float too."
"I see dead people."
Pretty cool list. No Exorcist (1973)???🤔
Like any of these non slasher classics?:
The Thing (1982)
Alien
Aliens
An American Werewolf in London
Fright Night
Bram Stokers Dracula
Interview with a Vampire
The Lost Boys
Scream (1996)
The SHINING still creeps me out with the music .
Yes! So freaky.
I’m more of a monster movie aficionado so as far as scary ones go for me it’s Alien, John Carpenter’s The Thing, Predator (I mean it basically turns into a horror film after 20 minutes), and finally both Godzilla 1954 and 84 as those two are the more “horror” tinged films in the franchise (and we might be getting a third in that style with Godzilla Minus One this December). I need to watch The Crow myself at some point. Solid list, Jay!
This is a very good list of scary movies. My favorite scary movies to watch for Halloween are: It(2017), It Chapter 2, Mimic, Life, The Pyramid, The Relic, Pumpkinhead and Antlers.
Casually throwing up "I love you" in ASL was not what i expected from a holloween thumbnail
Nice! I'm an old dude, so I like the oldies. But, I'm also a film nerd, so I like a LOT of films. For Halloween, in no particular order: 😉
1. Elvira: Mistress of the Dark
2. The Fog
3. Beetlejuice
4. Halloween
5. Alien
6. The Lost Boys
7. Psycho
8. Batman Returns (Yes, Batman Returns)
9. Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein
10. Pumpkinhead
I really like your list! Intersects a lot with mine! Here are some extra masterpieces, IMHO, to add to this already awesome list:
- Addams Family (great family movie that I watch with the kids every year and one of my all time favorite movie)
- Nightmare on Elms Street (the original only which is not afraid to end very badly)
- The Omen (an old classic that relies on atmosphere and mystery to get you hooked big time)
- Amytiville (the original 70s one, I still shiver thinking about that one, real horror and zero special effects)
- Brain Dead (New Zealand zombie gore fest comedy style made by no other than Peter Jackson!!!)
- Fright Night (the original not the remake, the ultimate Vampire movie for Halloween season!! Oldie but goody)
If you have not seen some of these movies, I highly recommend!
Happy Halloween season!
Your list is sold .
The Ring, The Shining, and yes Jennifer’s Body…I will go along with this list :)
I would add Ernest Scared Stupid. The evil troll was surprisingly menacing for being in a goofy horror comedy.
I don’t remember how I discovered you and your videos but I’m glad I did. They are entertaining and informative.
I have The Nightmare Before Christmas and The Crow on DVD. They're both great movies to watch during spooky season! 🎃
The original Nosferatu from 1922.
Rosemary's baby
The original Exorcist.
Hellraiser (people's favorite out of the series varies. But the first is always a good start)
The original Poltergeist
An American Werewolf in London (Scary but also funny and just a good movie)
The original The Thing
Then there are Hitchcock movies. But not for those with issues with attention span. The movies work on the long drawn out suspense that just builds and builds.
Love the list Jay what I've got on my list this year is
1. Candyman (My favorite horror movie)
2. The Nightmare Before Christmas
3. The Rob Zombie Firefly trilogy
4. From Dusk Till Dawn
5. Monster House
6. Event Horizon
7. The first two Addams Family movies
8. Terrifier 1 and 2
9. X and Pearl
10. The first Scream movie
Honorable mentions Bride of Chucky, Corpse Bride, Beetlejuice, Coraline
Love The Sixth Sense. My favorite Halloween time movies to watch are American Werewolf in London, 1982’s The Thing and the original Fright Night.
What is a great fit to this selection of movies is Ravenous. Came out in 1999, directed by Antonia Bird, stars Guy Pearce, and music score by the awesome Damon Albarn ( of Blur and Gorillaz). Spooky, yet adventurous, yet surreal popcorn watch!
Lol Jennefer’s Body, totally forgot about that one. 🔥🔥
Halloween isn't something I really follow. But always in the mood for Horror and Terror. Jay, Great list specifically The Crow and you certainly looked spot on. And Thanks for reminding about Jennifer's Body that's a flash back I want to see again. Cheer's Gorgeous.x 🇬🇧
Thanks Paul!
I just remembered a fairly new one, Trick (2019) i watched a few months ago, it's a slasher set around Halloween, so possibly not one you'll love lol.
Good list. Fantastic Crow cosplay 😍
I love The Crow, such a good underrated movie R.I.P Brandon Lee
That is a cool list based on the ones I’ve seen. I’m also a fan of The Crow (which Marvel did an homage to with a Captain Marvel poster) and of the Tin Burton movies mentioned.
Another one you should check out is “V for Vendetta” which is particularly good for watching in November 5th. It has both some similarities and lots of differences compared to “The Crow” and definitely has an interesting story.
Great list! I would add Stephen King's Misery. I don't know if it's more thriller than horror but a great watch for the october season. I would also highly recommend The Devil's Rejects. It's the sequel to House of 1000 Corpses which is also an entertaining film and worth a watch. Devil's Rejects however still gives me chills watching it till this day. Probably my all time favorite horror movie.
I watched "The Shining" every year at Halloween for six years. Now I watch "It follows" and " The Cabin in the woods" for some fun and it's still a little scary. All good picks, never seen "Pet cemetery" so I should give that one a try. My two cat's already try to kill me so I should be fine.
The Crow is my #1 movie for October.... and pretty much any other time of the year.
Another great animated Halloween film, Monster House. It’s a good time
Very nice list. A good blend of modern and classic films.
Nice, I found this channel, looking for information about the new Crow movie, and suddenly I was hooked!! sweet content. Keep it up girl! 🤘🤘
Yes! I cosign this Halloween 🎃 movie list Jay. The Shining, Nightmare before Christmas, The Crow. Tim Burton made great films. I enjoyed the new IT too. Honorable mentions you might enjoy is Vampire In Brooklyn, Beetlejuice, Halloween Town, Hocus Pocus, Chucky (1,2, and 3) Also the classic Frankenstein movie. Thanks for sharing great movies for me to watch and yes Jennifer's Body mention was sus lol. Have a great day my friend
Thanks for sharing some of your other faves, my friend!
I definitely need to watch Jennifer's Body. And I don't think I've ever seen Pet Semetary all the way through before.
Nice selections! Have you seen Doctor Sleep? It manages to be a sequel to The Shining novel and the movie (which you probably know was very much Kubrick's Shining). It gets a bit fan-servicy near the end but I really enjoyed it. Ewan McGregor and Rebecca Ferguson are both great in it and Mike Flanagan directed. He also did Oculus which I recommend if you like movies where , along with the main characters, never quite know what is and isn't real.
Nice Birthday Video , Bud
Awesome Crow cosplay pic! So talented!
Aw, thanks!
I love Friday the 13th,Hellraiser and Scream. My TV series I'm watching this Halloween is Chucky Season3.
Nice!
Some great choices, IMO the Shining is the most disturbing movie ever as it seems to real, most of it is happening inside someones mind! . Also as an honourable mention check out Salem Lot, the mini series from 1979 staring David Soul and James Mason, a lost classic of the vampire genre.
Happy Halloween season, Jay. Have you seen 'Rec' (2009). It's a REALLY GOOD horror film from España.
Not a bad list, but Snarky Jay needs to open herself up to more of the classic slasher movies, Halloween cannot be the same without them!
My Top 10 Spooky Season movies are: Scream, Saw, Insidious, The Conjuring, The Mummy, IT, Halloween, Chucky, Friday the 13th, and Sinister. These are pretty good scary movies to watch for Spooky Season 😁🎃👻
You definitely know what brings in the views
Pretty good list Jay! I'm a horror lover so it's great to hear your personal favorites. I'm definitely a slasher fan though, and since we've got a Friday the 13th this October, I'll have to watch Part 6 since it's my favorite in the series. I think my favorites on your list are IT, The Shining, and The Crow. As for me, I just watched SAW X on Thursday and it was..... surprisingly VERY good?! Also I'm excited for Five Nights at Freddy's, been a fan of the games since the first one came out in 2013, or was it 2014.
Halloween is my favorite season great movie picks
Scooby Doo on Zombie Island is a much watch Halloween film. Or the Shining and Halloween 1978.
Considering my favourite horror film, and usual triple bills .i had to lol at you saying you personally aren't s fan of Halloween, which is fine, everyone has their own taste.
Not surprisingly usually i watch back-to-back Halloween, Halloween 2, and Halloween 4, in 2023 i had a change and watched Halloween, Halloween 2018, and Halloween Kills.
Other favourite Halloween choices could include The Omen, Damien: Omen 2, The Excorcist, The Excorcist 3, Scream, A Nightmare On Elm Street, A Nightmare On Elm Street 3, Creepshow, Poltergeist, Bride Of Chucky, Urban Legend, Paranormal Activity, or The Shining.
Obviously Halloween 3 is a great one to watch, my favourite film between the ages of 6 and 11, and i watched it 2 or 3 times most weeks for those 5 years between 1986 and 1991.
Great list!!!!! I would recommend if you haven't seen them JC's The Thing, Original The Night of the Living Dead, Salems Lot (TV), and Hereditary....
Great list.
On mine I have Blood Red Sky, which I call Bloody Fangs on a Plane.
Hm, interesting choice!
I personally mostly watch horror/halloween season movies during September to November. Unless a new Friday the 13th come out at a different time wich i would totally watch on release but for the most part its just these months.
Usually i start Early Sept and finish a week or so after Halloween. I try to watch 20ish movies and my rule is ONLY movies i NEVER saw.
So far 10 watched already. I try to keep the heavy hiters more for October and the closest to Halloween for afformentioned Halloween theme movies.
Remaining on my list i got stuff like Barbarian, Bodies Bodies Bodies, the new Boogeyman movie and more.
Good list. Have you seen 1987's "Prince of Darkness" (John Carpenter) staring the late great Donald Pleasence. Very creepy and as part of John Carpenters Apocalypse trinity it is a must see for horror fans. Looking forward to your Halloween cosplay (un-dead Wonder Woman?), Have a great Halloween.
Sinister and The Strangers are some movies that you should check out, if you haven’t already.
EVERYTHING ALWAYS BABY!!! 👊
Corpse Bride and Nightmare Before Christmas are great stop motion films. One of my guilty pleasures for Halloween is old school Rankin/Bass stop motion's "Mad Monster Party" starring the voices of Boris Karloff and Phyllis Diller.
The crow is the best Halloween time movie because its great thats all
Halloween is the best. This time of year is the best. Scorpios rule! Woot woot.
Ernest Scared Stupid is the best Halloween movie. And Monster Squad.
Happy Halloween
Hah, you too.
I wish you had included Slasher movie on here Snarky Jay they are fun but to each their own. I love the Crow RIP Brandon Lee and I love the insidious movies
I recommend the new hellraiser movie and the haunting of hill house miniseries. I love a number of movies on your list. Have you seen the sequel to the shining?
Wow... I'm glad you didn't include slasher movies. They aren't horror movies to me. They're SCARY but NOT spooky. I'm really glad you understand this. It warms my elderly heart.
Disney also thought of Nightmare Before Xmas as a Halloween movie, so they released Hocus Pocus in July to avoid self-competition. It was a weird choice. Highly recommend The Babadook!
My favorite 2 would be Elvira Mistress of the Dark and also Lost Boys!!
Good list Jay.
I still have never seen a movie like Phantasm
Just watched this 2014 movie “Jamesy Boy” . You’re the spit for the character Crystal in it. So there ya go! She’s played by Rosa Salazar…don’t know what she looks like now ha.
You might also like The Woman in Black. It stars Daniel Radcliffe of all people.
I once stumbled upon a youtube video that I have been trying to find for the past 10 years at least. It was a combination of edits from the movie Corpse Bride (which I saw in the theater) and the Alice Cooper's song Gail/Roses on White Lace from his Prince of Darkness album (and yes, i saw him on tour for that album). Your list reminded me i need to keep looking.
I love this list! My only two caveats are The Shining, I fell asleep and Jennifer’s Body, they showed you the aftermath of what would have been one of the best scenes in the movie in the credits.
Horror movies were not my type, but nice to know about your favorite Halloween movies list here. 👻🎃🙌😅
Snarky, interesting list. Some of my favorites are dawn of the dead, jaws, Halloween, exorcist, IT, Bran Stokers Dracula, and Howling. Luv ya Snarky 👍💋
If you like Animation and horror Monster House is a must!
2 points for Tim Burtons' masterpieces. 10 points for The Crow! Another offbeat film that would work due to Tim Currys performance would be Legend.
Great list. The only thing I would change is sub out Corpse Bride with the original Disney Legend of Sleepy Hollow from 1949. I also might put The Crow a little higher but otherwise great stuff. Love Insidious, love the original Pet Semetary.
Slides you some Reese Peanut Butter cups. The superior hallowe'en candy.
The Crow was me de facto Halloween costume from 2003-05, and yes I know I dated myself. Nice pick.
Love the thumnail.
Happy Sunday Jay!!! Will you be checking out the new Saw movie??
You too Alfred! Probably not, the SAW franchise isn't really my thing.
Good thing you have doggo for protection , watchin' these spooky pics
Obligatory Like
Idle Hands is a good horror comedy. You should check it out if you haven't already
This is a great list.
My fav time halloween dude the crow was one of the fav Halloween costumes for dudes that were slender when I was growing up.
I often watch Nightmare Before Christmas for Halloween & Christmas every year. I also like Night of the Living Dead 1990, Tim Burton's Sleepy Hallow, An American Werewolf in London, The Exorcist, Beetlejuice, A Nightmare on Elm Street series, Cloverfield, Abbott & Costello Meets The(insert scary monster here), Elvira Mistress of the Dark(cause she is super hot..*growl).
Nightmare before Christmas. Perfect taste. 👍
Silent Hill is a great movie, based on the first Silent Hill game.
This my favorite time of year. Horror movies are my favorite . Love all the old classics but I’m a big James wan fan as well . Except maybe the last couple movies he’s done but most of his stuff is good considering Modern horror usually sucks
Most of your list I will agree with. Some I will not or better yet not watch at all. However to each their own and a warm spooky thanks for sharing! That said I have one point and one suggestion. Point: let's give credit where credit is due! Tim Burton created the characters, and he was producer but he did not direct "Nightmare Before Christmas" that film was (with sereal excellence )directed by Henry Selick who also directed the creepy animated wonder "Coroline"
The film I would recommend would be the 1963 film "The Haunting" a masterpiece directed by Robert Wise is the ultimate ghost to watch in the dark. Sure, it's shot in black and white, that adds to the moody atmosphere of the old house that makes you wonder exactly what is in that room holding darkness within. Check it out!
AAAAAAAAGH! Candy corn!!!!??? The Horror, the horror. Mine: 1931 Dracula, not scary but fantastic atmosphere, Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein (1931-35). Once again not very scary but amazing atmosphere. 1999 Sleepy Hollow. (My kind of Tim Burton Movie). The Sixth Sense, The Others (2001), Hallowe'en (1978) The Invisible Man (1933) One expection of film but a TV special. It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (1966 for nostaligia and laughs), Salem's Lot (1979 TV Mini series). And finally The Wicker Man (1973)
Next, you’re going to tell me you like to dip your pizza in ketchup
