Kicking off the first of October by watching "The Nightmare before Christmas" (and Frankenweenie because it's on the same DVD.) My husband and I both love Tim Burton!
Although the list is already full (!) I'm taking additional recommendations and suggestions for other entertaining or creepy Halloweenish movies. I lean closer to "animated" and "entertaining" than "awful" and "frightening" (I've purposely avoided the Exorcist but also don't really enjoy Schulz' "Peanuts", either.)
Because some days my husband works 12 hours, I'm looking for some suggestions that are 30 minutes or less.
Asterisked ones I'm looking forward to, or don't mind the idea of watching them as much.
We'll watch at least one a day and report back what we viewed 🙂 I'll be bolding movies as I watch them:

LOL @ Killer Clowns from Outer Space. Love that movie!
It's been a while since I saw it, so I'm totally looking forward to seeing it again!
Ghostbusters is on the dockett for tonight!
Just finished watching the animated movie, Monster House tonight which wasn't on the original list but fit perfectly in this holiday lineup.
Hmm… what movie to watch tonight? It's getting late and haven't decided yet!!
Make it a short one because I'm hoping to do a hangout around 8:30CDT? 🙂
And oh yeah, how is Dawn of the Dead not on this list? I recommend the remake. It's one of the few times the remake is better than the original
Ooh, cool – thanks Matt! That's what I'm talking about. I know it's a pretty comprehensive list, but definitely want to get things on there that I've never heard of.
I've got Shaun of the Dead on there but not Dawn of the Dead. I'll definitely add it!
Today we went with "The Masks" – a Twilight Zone episode. We went with something shorter because hubby has to get up early.
Matt – I checked out the trailer for Dawn of the Dead – and it looks scary! My hubby will probably love it. I, on the other hand will probably be biting my nails off and covering my eyes. Hehe!
Oh pssh. It's not that bad. A couple of "make you jump out of your seat" moments but really not much worse than Zombieland 🙂
Oops, watched "Beetlejuice" last night and am now watching "Splice".

Splice was "Meh".
