So it is October again. And for my girlfriend and I that means it is time for scary movies. Our tradition is that we try to watch at least one scary movie or television show in the month of October. We really try to do a movie but sometimes we are just busy or tired and so we at least try to do an episode of a television show (i.e. Supernatural, Night Gallery). It is always fun and when we find a scary movie that we really are looking forward to we go all out and get candy and popcorn. This year has been pretty decent. We have seen some very scary movies, some movies with decent scares with a good twist or two. And a few "scary movies" that provided more laughs and as usual a few movies that were so bad they were not even laughable as much as they were insulting.
We have found that it is kind of rare to find a genuine scary movie anymore. And it is all about taste and what scares you that makes a movie scary or not. Some people are scared of monsters, slashers, or gory movies. For others it is Vampires or witches. For us it is ghost story/ haunted house movies that we find the most scary. We have found a few this time around but we really watched a high number of ghost movies back in May after we saw Cabin In The Woods. But since then we have found more we either skipped over or just now discovered.
This year we are rating the movies we watch on IMDB so we can get suggestions as well as keep up with the films we liked and the ones we did not. Plus I think it will be interesting to see how many we actually do watch and then see which ones were the best. I am trying to plan it out so we have a few good ones mixed in with the the ones whose ratings are not so high. For the most part it has been ghost/haunted movies. But Vampires, Slashers, Monsters and even a Vincent Price night are all things we want to see. We even had a couple of lighter nights where we watched the two Scooby Doo movies followed by the original Scooby Doo cartoons. After those we watched The Dog Who Saved Halloween and the complete Halloweentown series. It does not have to be scary to be fun.
So Happy Halloween and Spooky times to all.
