So Halloween is right around the corner and you’re looking for some scary movies to watch. Well, you’ve come to the right place. Between now and next Tuesday, I will reveal my Top 15 Movies To Watch On Halloween.
These flicks are not my Top 15 horror movies of all time. Rather, these are flicks that are just right for Halloween viewing. They are creepy, scary and, in many cases, gory. I will reveal Nos. 15 through 11 today, 10 through 6 on Thursday, and 5 through 1 next Tuesday.
Here we go . . . .
15. The Descent (2005)
I struggled with whether to include The Descent in this list. Why? Because I have never seen it. I doubt I will ever do this again. However, everything I have heard about The Descent screams for it to be included in this list and I can’t wait to see it myself.
14. The Devil’s Rejects (2005)
I did not like Rob Zombie’s House of 1000 Corpses (which co-stars Rainn Wilson from The Office.) So I was a little skeptical about its sequel, The Devil’s Rejects. This flick happened to be on the Independent Film Channel one night, so I recorded it. I was pleasantly surprised. This movie has a retro feel, sufficiently creepy characters, a decent story, and a great soundtrack. Definitely Halloween night worthy.
13. Night of the Living Dead (1968)
You can’t go wrong with the classics on Halloween. The original Night of the Living Dead is required viewing for all horror flick fans. It may seem a little dated, especially considering the zombie flicks that have been released recently (including a remake of Dawn of the Dead - the sequel to Night of the Living Dead), but it is still a great movie.
12. The Amityville Horror (1979)
There was a house in our neighborhood when I was a kid that looked a lot like the house in The Amityville Horror. I didn’t like walking by it at night.
11. The Ring (2002)
This flick has one of the most shocking moments in horror film history. It is completely unexpected. Check out The Ring, if you dare.
Remember, Nos. 10 through 6 will be revealed on Thursday and be sure to check back tomorrow for No. 87 in my Top 100 Movies list. Boo.
