tis the season. i'm NOT a fan of the gory, slasher crap. watched first 2 "Halloween" (1978) movies but nothing past that. for the longest time, thought it was a locally filmed thing... Haddonfield, NJ... nah.
watched "Friday the 13th" (1980) in the dark with my sister. it was right after we finally had cable and there was some sort of special on a 3D version. that was filmed at an actual camp in north Jersey... near Delaware water gap, I believe.
turned on TV to see that "Poltergeist" (1982) was on... a class... over 40 years old and still great. didn't see it in theater. I remember my bil yelling that the tree outside the kid's room had a "f**kin' face!".
as a bunch of us were watching "a nightmare on elm street" my ex managed to tape REAL knives to all the fingers on both hands and then crawl up the steps in the dark to scare the stuffing out of us.
one of the scariest movies from my childhood was the original "invasion of the body snatchers".
sooooo, what are your favorite scary movies to watch this time of year.

I'm not a fan of scary movies either, but I did think the Exorcist was scary, and I also liked Carrie (1976).
I don't like slasher movies. I've never seen Halloween or those other ones.

heeeyyy, when I saw "Carrie", thought it was kinda hokey, BUT that ending made me and many in the theater scream.

My favorite scary movies are "The Shining" with Jack Nicholson, "1408" with John Cusack, and "The Evil Dead" with Bruce Campbell.

I watch these every year around Halloween. Hell Fest, Trick 'r' Treat and Slither.
I watch tons of spooky movies but those three I make sure to tape them.

I like to watch the first Halloween at least once in October. I liked the first film "Carrie" too, heeeyyy. Piper Laurie was great playing Carrie's mother. The characters of Amy Irving and William Katt were sweet. Of course, some of the last scenes in the movie scared me. A fun scared, though. I enjoyed "The Shining" with Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall, SafeInSanity. I like anything with suspense.
