Halloween Flix

Below are a few of my top movies to watch around Halloween.

Seven
Shock, nausea, and utter fright, you’ll feel it all at the pit of your stomach while watching Seven. The intense psychological drama follows two detectives, played by Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman, as they try to catch a maniac who plans to kill seven people, one for each of the seven deadly sins.
The Silence of the Lambs
Anthony Hopkins as Dr. Hannibal Lecter the Cannibal will scare you into numbness. Not for the weak-hearted — the psychological thriller is a two-hour-long hair raiser about FBI agent Clarice Starling, who tries to gain insight into a murderer’s mind by interviewing psychopath Hannibal.
The Shining
Stanley Kubrick’s adaptation of Stephen King’s novel could quite possibly be one of the scariest films of all time. The bone-chilling movie is based in an isolated hotel where Jack Nicholson and his family have moved in as caretakers for the winter. What follows is a ghostly encounter with a former hotel custodian who murdered his wife and two daughters. Beware: The eerie silence of the movie will haunt you long after you’ve hit the stop button.
The Nightmare Before Christmas
A ghoulish tale with elements of horror, fantasy, musical, and comedy all rolled into one stunning animated film. You’ll watch with morbid fascination as the Pumpkin King of Halloweentown stumbles into Christmastown and tries to take over Christmas by kidnapping Santa!
It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown
Dubbed by a critic as one of “the most sincere of all Halloween specials,” this classic should not be missed. How can you let Halloween pass without a sneak peek at the Peanuts gang searching for the best trick-or-treating costumes and other Charlie Brown-style antics?

    Personally my favorite halloween movie is the superb Terminator ripoff flick called “R.O.T.O.R.”

    It has nothng to do with halloween, but it’s got sort of a bad horror movie feel to it. Also, *it’s one of the worst movies of all time*. That, of course, is what makes it so totally kickass.

    It comes with WP 1.5, you should just have to enable it in the admin panel. Once it’s on,
