Movies to watch on Halloween. Halloween Parties.

[Fishmanic]

What movie would you recommend to our members to watch around Halloween time?

Will you wear a costume on Halloween.

Are you going to a Halloween event or party?

 

[jaylach]

No costume or parties for me.

As to movies I guess the Halloween series would be a natural pick. I don't know much on such movies as horror is not a genre I get into much.

I'd go with the classics--the three Frankenstein films starring Boris Karloff, the two Dracula films starring Bela Lugosi, and speaking of Lugosi, The Wolfman, Mark of the Vampire, and Son of the Vampire, and another Karloff film, The Mummy.

I don't have to watch horror movies to get freaked out, my life is bad enough and more of a horror movie than most people could stand. I've even been to hell and back, well I'm sort of still in hell but it's hell man.

I might put on a naughty maid costume and walk around the neighbourhood. A 6ft tall hairy werewolf in a naughty maid costume. How's that for scary? And if it's not scary enough, I could wear short shorts under the maid outfit and let the hairy dangly bits hang out every time I bend over.

Seriously though, I don't celebrate halloween. My abusive sister was born on halloween and I was born a few hours after that. I also don't get visitors and don't go out. The last time I saw anyone on halloween was around 2008 when a friend came round to help with a dangerous dog declaration and I had blood on my hands and apron from cutting up meat. After he left a family rocked up doing the trick or treat thing, which I don't do. But I answered the door in a blood splattered apron and holding a carving knife. They said cool costume. I asked what they were talking about. They said it's halloween. I said I don't celebrate it. They looked at me again and then apologised for disturbing me and left.

Hmmm, just thought of a good one if you celebrate while I, along with @Colin_T don't celebrate, the old movie version of The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe with Vincent Price, Peter Lorre, and Boris Karloff could be a good choice. I just don't like Halloween for a few reasons I won't get into.

My fish club meets tomorrow and we are supposed to wear Halloween costumes. That’s not happening!

Not really a Halloween fan . I was when I was a kid because of the free candy but it’s just another overly commercialized non holiday to me now . Still , I like to watch “ It’s The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown “ . The scene at the end where Charlie Brown and Linus are leaning on the brick wall talking about the events of Halloween night the next morning has always summed up the post partum depression of November 1st very well to me . If I had to recommend one spook movie I think I would have to say “ Transylvania 6-5000 “ . Ed Begley Jr. and Jeff Goldblum make a great comedic pair .

I could dress up as a SHARK

You could wear your underwear over your pants and go as Super Aquarist . Easy and tasteful .

Or could glue pebbles to the underwear and go as an under gravel filter...

Now . . . . where do we hook the air pump in to ?

 

[GaryE]

This year, you go as an undergravel filter. Don't worry about the air pump, you already have a powerhead.

Collect a pile of chocolate bars, eat them, and next year, go as a box filter.

I used to believe in any holiday that got me a day off work. Hallowe'en didn't qualify, but I loved giving out candy to kids, who were generally having a great time. Now, you have to picture this. I live across the road from a long established, creepy old graveyard. I have a long dark driveway up to the house, and as you come up, to the side you see the neighbour's semi abandoned farmhouse. We haven't had a kid come up here in years.

It couldn't be worse if the house had towers and wrought iron everywhere, as even a 1990s bungalow is too scary for trick or treaters. Even the reindeer are too scared to come here in December.

So movies? Watch a bunch of below water fish videos, and then contemplate what your bank account would look like if you had all the set up they make you imagine having.... scary...

Two new movies that I would highly recommend for Halloween - 'Sinners' and 'Weapons'.
