    I'm not much of a horror movie watcher, I get scared! But, for Halloween, I do like to watch The Shining. Love that Jack Nicholson! Crazy man!

    I noticed that the original Frankenstein movies were on dish last night. I think they were from the '30's. Didn't watch!

    I usually don't like gory horror movies but I love the original Universal Monster Movies (Frankenstein, Dracula, The Wolfman, The Mummy, Creature from the Black Lagoon, The Phantom of the Opera, The Invisible Man, etc.) and we've got the whole collection now on DVD. My Dad and I have since I was little watched them and other horror/Halloween movies every Halloween. My Mom and brother don't care for it so it's been our thing.

    Besides "Halloween" and "The Others", I normally prefer to watch other Halloween related films like the "Dark Shadows" 70s movies (with the TV show's cast), "Frankenweenie" (the original short film), "Hocus Pocus", "Casper", "The Adams Family", "Gremlins", "Halloweentown", and the original "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" film.

    ETA: Forgot to include "Young Frankenstein".

    The Nightmare Before Christmas used to be my holiday tradition, but I've since moved on. I still love "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown," some things you don't outgrow.

    Reading this thread has reminded me of films I've enjoyed so much and semi-forgot about, like Practical Magic with the goddess-like Nicole Kidman and the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I'm surprised that Kristy Swanson didn't have more of a career, she's so pretty and has good comedic timing.
