Halloween and My Top Ten Horror Movie List

I love Halloween!  I've always loved Halloween.  There's something about it and the fall that's atmospheric, and I just love it.  The winds are blowing colorful, crispy leaves; it's the end of Indian summer; pumpkins are for sale; the candy corn is fresh and not stale like the other times of the year; trick or treating; costumes; and horror movies. 

Out of all those things, my favorite thing to do is watch horror movie after horror movie after horror movie while carving pumpkins and eating Halloween candy.  I start watching horror movies about two months in advance to set the mood.  Try "The 60 days of Halloween" intead of "The 12 Days of Christmas."

Here's a list of ten horror movies that I make a point to watch every Halloween. 

1.  Halloween (1978)




2.  The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920)



3.  House of 1,000 Corpses (2003)














4.  Friday the 13th (1980)
