Halloween 2020 Horror Movie (and etc) Thread

[CaptainPete]

Since I suggested it, I guess I'll do it...

Here's a thread to discuss what horror movies, books, shows, comics, and etc that you're looking forward to watching during the holiday.

I'm actually thinking about doing a Scooby-Doo movie marathon:

Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island

Scooby-Doo and the Witch's Ghost

Scooby-Doo Meets KISS: A Magical Mystery (yes, this movie exists)

Scooby-Doo and the Curse of the 13th Ghost

 

What about the rest of you?

[Glitterwolf]

All of the Simpson's Halloween Specials would be cool.

[ManvsMini]

It would be a sin to not mention Hocus Pocus.

Just read a great horror comic the other day.  "Infidel" by Pornsak Pichetshote.  A really cool story about a creature that feeds on the hatred of xenophobia and Islamophobia.  Great disturbing artwork, creepy story, and a message that didn't feel ham-fisted.  Definitely recommend!

Zombie Island and Witch's Ghost are just superb.  Plus the music is catchy!

It was the best way to bring something new to the franchise. Such fun movies. Plus, the Hex Girls...

I actually really want a Hex Girls spin-off show or something. Where they travel, play music, and deal with supernatural stuff.

I don't see Ernest Scared Stupid here yet, so I'll throw it in the mix. It's one of my standby Halloween films. Along with Hocus Pocus and The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Dare I say, we could be great friends? I watch it every year. How could I forget about that one?!

[Loim]

@ManvsMini don't feel bad. It's easy to overlook the Ernest movies, even though they are all brilliant gems that get absolutely none of the love they deserve. The best part is there is an Ernest movie for every season. I watch at least some of them every year, and I often don't think of bringing them up in the many discussions I have about movies.

 

I feel that some of the MST3K films should make the list. Werewolf, anyone?

One of my least favorite movies. It's just full of things I really don't like. I won't knock you for liking it, I'm sure it's great for you.

I probably should rewatch it so I can try to figure out which costumes were reused from Killer Klowns From Outer Space.

 

Oh. That's one I should add to my list for this month...

Own it. Maybe I'll do a marathon of the MST3K DVDs I've picked up.

Just when I think we can't be best friends, you go and say this:

Haha! I was so happy to find that movie. I think I only paid $8 for it but it was so worth it. I'm trying to get a friend to watch it but he has a legit phobia about clowns. I might have to get him drunk first...

This still gets me rollin, especially the part with the dead football team.

[Chaoswolf]

I like the Scooby-Doo movie marathon idea.

[redambrosia]

Oof. Hubby tried this thing on Hulu, MonsterLand (or something like that). It was just depressing! 
 

Stick to Hocus Pocus and such!

 

Here, have a fun monster mash:

Here's a topic for debate: The Ring, American or Japanese version?
