So, last year, we ranked our top 10 Halloween movies. But, it’s hard to believe there was only five of us at this time in 2016. Things have changed quite a bit, and we’re adapting to the times. Instead of just recalculating here, we’ve decided to throw a wrinkle in our annual Halloween movie piece. This year, we’re going to offer up a ‘Halloween Movie Night’ for you guys to enjoy. Some of the selections include time-honored classics, but we’ve also thrown in a couple of the classics.
Fun and Festive
Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen’s Double, Double, Toil, and Trouble – According to Rubber Rooster, this movie is all we need on our list. So, why should we even continue, right?
Hocus Pocus – To quote Jonas Brotherly, “this is the Home Alone of Halloween movies.” This one was ranked #1 on our list of Halloween movies last year, and it holds true. It showed up on Ralph and Jonas’ lists as well this year. An all-time classic.
Monster House – Brandon and myself consider this one of the quintessential Halloween movies. In my opinion, it’s like the Polar Express of Halloween.
The Addams Family – Brandon going outside the box with this recommendations, but I dig it. It’s one of those flicks that isn’t mentioned among the usual Halloween classics, but deserves consideration.
Scary as Shit
Halloween – It’s the quintessential Halloween movie, right?! This is another one of the few movies that just about all of the SoBros mentioned. It’s the place to start.
Nightmare on Elm Street – Jonas recommends this one, as it features one of the most iconic horror characters of all time. Perfect for this time of year.
Jeepers Creepers – Jonas Brotherly keeps bringing the classics. “A brother and sister driving home through isolated countryside for spring break encounter a flesh-eating creature which is in the midst of its ritualistic eating spree.” –IMDB
V/H/S – Another one from Jonas, but I actually had to hit up IMDB for this one: “When a group of misfits are hired by an unknown third party to burglarize a desolate house and acquire a rare VHS tape, they discover more found footage than they bargained for.”
Cabin in the Woods – Some high praise for this flick, coming from Ralph Wiggum:
It is -the- best horror movie I’ve ever seen by miles. It exists on about 100 levels… it’s all built upon references to horror / legend / other movies. You should check it out spoiler free, and just go in knowing you have to pay attention to detail. ‘Cause I’ve seen it twice, then a documentary highlighting everything I missed, then a 3rd time.
The Conjuring – Brandon recommends this one. Per IMDB, “Paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren work to help a family terrorized by a dark presence in their farmhouse.”
Paranormal Activity – Probably one of the most terrifying flicks I’ve read about in a long, long time. That’s right – read about it. I wouldn’t dare watch this movie, but Brandon says you should.
And, there’s nowhere to classify this but Ralph also highly recommends Tucker and Dale vs. Evil for this holiday.
