Pirates of the Caribbean - The Curse of the Black Pearl

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

Even though I love all of Pirates of the Caribbean films, I chose the Curse of the Black Pearl as one of the top 31 Halloween movies. It has more "Halloween" feeling to it compared to two other POTC films. In this one, all pirates (and the monkey!) turned into living skeletons at night.

Amazon: The Rocky Horror Picture Show (Widescreen Edition) with Tim Curry and Susan Sarandon

4 people recommended this item

Description

A newly engaged couple have a breakdown in an isolated area and must pay a call to the bizarre residence of Dr. Frank-N-Furter. The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a comedy cult classic film.

After hearing so much about it, I finally watched it today for the first time! It is nothing like anything I have seen before. If you haven't seen this film, then you ought to see it for yourself! :-)

E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial

5 people recommended this item

Description

E.T. is a sweet, feel-good movie to watch around Halloween time. My earliest memory was when E.T. dressed up as a woman with a blonde wig on. Later on, he went as a ghost for Halloween when all he need to do is to be himself for Halloween.

Firestarter Two-Movie Collection, DVD - Barnes & Noble

First to recommend

Description

A couple who participated in a potent medical experiment gain telekinetic ability and then have a child who is pyrokinetic.

As a kid, I remembered seeing one of the scenes where Drew Barrymore created fire with her mind, but I didn't see the rest of the film until a few weeks ago. It was on Television and I found it to be interesting to watch. It was not that scary as I thought it would be. But I would definitely add this to my "Halloween movie list."

It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

Description

Poor Linus, he is the only one who believes in the Great Pumpkin. It is one of classic Halloween movies to watch with your kids (or/and big kids at heart) - perfect movie to watch right after trick-or-treating.

Corpse Bride (2005)

4 people recommended this item

Description

What a sweet movie! It is sort of a "love triangle" between the groom and his two lovely brides, one is living and other one is...well, a corpse. Your family may like this movie. I am amazed how they did a stop-motion animated films, it takes a lot of hard work and patience to create one...or more!

High Spirits, Daryl Hannah, DVD - Barnes & Noble

First to recommend

Description

This film is based on American man and his wife vacationing at one of the "most haunted castles" even though the owner (Peter O'Toole) was planning to pull all the pranks and acted like it was a haunted house. What did he know? There were actual real ghosts joining in for the fun. Later it turned out that the American man (Steve Guttenberg) fell in love with a ghost (Darryl Hannah) while her lover (Liam Neeson) fell for American man's wife (Beverly D'Angelo). It has a twist happy ending for everyone.

Clue

6 people recommended this item

Description

Clue is a dark comedy based on the board game of the same name. Six guests are invited to a strange house and must cooperate with the staff to solve a murder mystery. If you have not seen this film yet, then you would be surprised to see how three different endings turned out.

Also, sometime I feel like I am playing "Clue" (board game) from watching this movie. :-)

Once Bitten, Lauren Hutton, DVD - Barnes & Noble

First to recommend

Description

Once Bitten is another vampire flick, but it is a horror comedy. I remembered watching this film as a kid - that was before Jim Carey became famous. This story is based on a 400-year-old vampire Countess seeking young men to keep her young and alive every year before Halloween, but according to her plan, it didn't go well as she had hoped.
